ZYLtech ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the perfect combination of both quality and affordable 3D printer filament. Makers do not need to sacrifice quality prints in order to save a few bucks! ZYLtech ABS is one of the most widely used 3D printing filament. Best for making sturdy and durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures, ABS is a great addition to any workplace – whether it’s your office, construction site, workbench or classroom, ABS can integrate into any maker’s projects. 3D printed parts made with ABS filament tend to be more flexible and less liable to shatter than those made with PLA filament. ABS printed parts can go through an acetone vapor bath to provide a smooth and glossy look that eliminates layer lines. A heated bed must be used when printing with ABS 3D printer filament, as it contracts or shrinks when it cools, which can cause warping. Building an enclosure for your printer or using a fully enclosed 3D printer will provide cleaner ABS prints. All ZYLtech filament is sealed with desiccant for storage and freshness. Use cases for ABS filament over PLA: Strength and Durability Greater Than PLA ZYLtech’s ABS 3D printer filament is formulated specifically for strength and durability.  ABS filament is a great and affordable choice for functional prints and products intended for outdoor use. More heat and chemical resistant ABS has a significantly higher Glass Transition Temperature (around 230°F vs PLA’s 130°F) which makes it a great choice for parts intended for outdoor use! Significant Savings ZYLtech’s ABS 3d printer filament is offered at a more affordable price than PLA and PETG so you can print more for less! Design Variety ABS is an altogether different material than PLA and thus has different physical characteristics.  ABS colors tend to produce a more matte finish than PLA.  This makes for even more variety and creativity in your 3D print designs! Reliability Zyltech filament is all about reliability. When you need a stronger and more durable functional part, you need to know you are printing with a material you can trust and depend on. ZYLtech’s #1 goal is to provide you with the most reliable and the strongest 3D printer filament at the best price possible. Quality Control Zyltech ABS 3D printter filament is meticulously tested for quality and consistency. We use top quality US based raw materials and additives for reliable results time after time. Our 1.75mm ABS filament tolerances of ±.05mm make for steady feed rates and reliable extrusion on both Bowden and Direct Drive setups! Color Consistency It’s important to us here at ZYLtech that all of our 3d printer filaments have consistent and reliable color in each and every roll that comes off the production floor.  Our chemist and quality control department work closely to ensure that our formulas produce reliably reproducible results every time.
