Polymaker ABS

Advanced ABS Resin for Better Printing PolyLite™ ABS is formulated with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin, featuring significantly lower volatile content than traditional ABS. This results in a cleaner, safer printing experience with minimal odor, making it more pleasant to use in any workspace.

Excellent Heat Resistance and Mechanical Strength This filament is engineered for projects that demand both robust mechanical properties and reliable heat resistance. PolyLite™ ABS maintains its strength and shape even in challenging environments, making it suitable for functional parts, enclosures, and prototypes.

Smooth Printing with Enclosed Printers For optimal results, print PolyLite™ ABS on an enclosed 3D printer. This helps ensure consistent temperature control and minimizes warping, allowing you to produce stunning, high-quality parts with ease.

Ideal for Functional and Heat-Resistant Parts Choose PolyLite™ ABS for any project where you need excellent mechanical performance, heat resistance, and a low-odor printing experience.

Print Tips

This material can print on any printer that is enclosed. We do recommend an all-metal hotend that can reach above 250˚C, but it is not required.

• The hotter and slower you print, the better your layer adhesion will be.

• Heat up your build plate to 90-100˚C for 10 minutes before starting your print so that the chamber has time to heat up.

• If you are printing slow and hot, you will get better layer adhesion but may experience uglier overhangs. You will battle between great layer adhesion and great overhang quality.

• Magigoo Original works as a great product for bed adhesion if you are having issues.

• Keep your cooling fan off if you are having layer adhesion or build plate adhesion issues.

• Can be smoothed or welded via acetone.

FAQ

Which 3D printer can print PolyLite™ ABS?

Depending on the size of the models you are trying to print, PolyLite™ ABS can required enclosed 3D printer, or even actively heated chamber.

In general a non-enclosed 3D printer with 90˚C bed temperature and 260˚C printing temperature can handle models smaller than fist size. For bigger prints you will required an enclosed 3D printer (~40-50˚C), for models bigger than ~15-20cm in any direction, it will require an actively heated chamber (~70˚C+).

Using proper bed adhesion can also help printing larger parts without deformation/warping issue. We can recommend Magigoo or BuildTak as adhesive and bed surface options.

Can PolyLite™ ABS be post-processed with Acetone?

Yes, PolyLite™ ABS can be smoothed with acetone. WARNING: Acetone is a dangerous chemical, please handle it with the necessary safety precautions.

We recommend PolySmooth™ as a safer alternative to create smooth surface models.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time
