Polymaker ABS Filament 1.75mm Black, ABS 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm Heat Resistant 1kg - PolyLite ABS 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm, Strong & Durable, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm

Reliable, Vibrant, and Easy to Print for ABS – Great Value!I've used several brands of ABS over the years, and the Polymaker PolyLite ABS in Neon Green really stands out—literally and figuratively. The color is bold, bright, and consistent throughout the spool. It gives prints a really striking look, especially under good lighting or UV.Pros:Print Quality: Excellent layer adhesion with minimal warping (when printed in an enclosure). Surface finish is smooth and clean, even on more detailed prints.Color: The neon green is super vivid and pops. Great for models where visibility or aesthetics matter.Dimensional Accuracy: As advertised—my calipers measured it within the ±0.03mm tolerance, which helped ensure consistent extrusion.Durability: Strong and heat-resistant as expected from quality ABS. Great for mechanical or functional parts.Packaging: Comes vacuum-sealed with desiccant, and the spool is neatly wound with zero tangles.Things to Note:Smell: As with all ABS, there is a noticeable odor when printing, so good ventilation or an enclosure with filtration is a must.Bed Adhesion: You’ll need a proper heated bed and possibly an adhesive like ABS slurry, Magigoo, or Kapton tape to prevent first-layer lifting.Not Beginner-Friendly: If you're new to 3D printing, ABS in general is trickier than PLA or PETG.Verdict:Polymaker’s ABS delivers on quality, consistency, and durability. It's a solid choice for experienced users who need strong parts with a vibrant finish. With the right setup (enclosure, ventilation, bed adhesion), this filament performs exceptionally well.

So i bought this Polymaker Neon ABS Filament for a project I was working on (it's pretty neat, by the way). It definitely wasn't the cheapest option out there, but after printing with it, I can say that it's worth every penny. The quality is great - no issues with jamming or anything like that. Plus, the neon orange color is really eye-catching, especially under a black light (which i totally have in my room for some reason). It's kinda hard to find good UV reactive filaments sometimes, so this was a nice surprise.The packaging was also top notch - came with a resealable bag and desiccant to keep the filament dry. I always get annoyed when my filament gets all wet and starts to print poorly, but this one stayed in great condition. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. It prints flawlessly, looks fantastic, and is definitely worth the price. If you need a high-quality UV reactive ABS filament for your next project, I HIGHLY recommend checking this one out (it even comes in other colors too).

I got this for two projects where I needed some extra strength. My first small test prints were nearly perfect, without the stringing of PETG or PLA, but I still had some lessons to learn.This ABS has much less adhesion to the print bed than the PLA and PETG I used before. This caused my first larger object to lift at one end, hitting the print head and creating an unacceptable "washboard" effect. The fix wasn't hard. I used the stick adhesive which came with my printer (other people use hairspray). That was enough to keep things stable.Note also that the ideal temperature for ABS is higher. I'm using 90 C for the bed and 255 C for the print head, but testing for your application is always a good idea.The first photo shows my real reason for buying ABS. It is a handlebar to add more comfortable hand positions on an indoor trainer. It clamps to the bike's original bar at two points, using steel bolts through the ABS shapes. Hex insets for the nuts worked nicely. This is the center part of the bar, to which I added "cowhorns" printed separately. I made D.I.Y white ABS cement from a recipe online and it worked great. I would not consider it responsible to ride a home-printed ABS bar on a road or trail, but for a trainer it seems more than strong enough. I should spray it with a UV-resistant coating since it does see some sun exposure through a window.If you look carefully you can see that one of the tall thin supports failed, but you can blame me or the Cura slicing software for that. Probably no material would have built that correctly. There was no harm to the final object.The other photo shows one of the test objects you can find online. It was printed with no supports and the "bridges" came out nicely with no stringing. I have not cleaned up this print. You can see that the underside of the large overhang is quite rough beyond 50 degrees, but the overall shape is right.

The media could not be loaded. Great filament! First time using abs and I am loving the quality of the prints. Printed on my Carbon X1. Color is super nice. No clogging, no warping, prints are perfectly proportioned

This is a farily good ABS material. I think referencing it as metallic is a bit of a stretch but it does have a hint of glittering material in it that gives it just a little sheen. It prints well with good bed & layer adhesion. I have had a few "poops" that made their way onto the bed during printing (a little sticky on the hotend), but that's only an issue when switching to a much lighter colored material and may be less the material and more the settings.The ONE big thing is, and this applies to Bambu AMS users, the spool load is excessive. What I mean is that it is too full. When using an AMS saver or anything other than base AMS, this will collide with the lid and torque against the assist motors that help spin the spool. This can lead to load failures, retraction failures, under extrusion and so much more. I am not sure if it's just too loosely wound or that the filament size tends to the larger size (ie greater than 1.75), but it makes it so this will be the last time I buy this (well until I get an AMS HT which appears to be larger and really is an ideal dryer for ABS). For now, the solution is to prop open your AMS for the first 75-100 grams (not ideal but it solves the issue).
