Blue 1.75mm ABS 3D Printer Filament - 1kg Spool - Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05mm - Professional Grade 3D Printing Filament - Made in USA

Surface Quality: A++. The best surface quality I have achieved 3D printing has been with this filament, even better results than high quality PLA. It looks/feels smooth and silky.Support Removal: A+. Ideal for organic shapes and complex structures. The support comes off easily without residues. Once again, better than PLA, PETG and PC.Overhangs: A, I use this filament when I require to beat very challenging overhangs. It works like a champ, better than PLA and PETG, but still not as good as doing overhangs with Polycarbonate.Layer adhesion: A+, Very good, the external perimeter is silky and smooth and the internal layers are strong.Buildplate adhesion; B-, It is tough, buT doable. Before every print, please deeply clean your buildplate and preheat for at least 30 min. Set your nozzle height to <0.20mm and print slow using a brim. Thats what works for me, every time.Post-work: A++, extremely easy to glue, extremly easy to paint, Surface quality is so good that sanding is not even needed.Smell: A. Not noticeable with a closed chamberOverall: A+. IC3D ABS filament is my workhorse. I prefer it over PLA of anybrand. and I recomend if for pretty much any application.What can be improved?. Roll size. It is slightly wider than most rolls, which is a nuisance because it does not fit the standar spool holder of my Raise3D N2.

A little backstory. I ordered this red 1.75mm filament last week, however what I received was 3mm filament. I posted a comment under the seller feedback section, stating that I had received it in a timely manner but that I was disappointed to have been delivered the wrong filament size. Well the owner/supplier contacted me very shortly after I posted the review, was extremely gracious and apologetic and assured me they would ship me out a new and correct roll of 1.75mm, however they even went above and beyond this to try to make things right. Not only did they send me the 1.75mm red at no cost to me, they also sent me a second roll of the natural. I am happy to support a new company and would highly recommend their product, based solely on their wonderful customer service. I will update later after I have tried the filament to let you know how it is working. I have also purchased a roll of black filament to try.**Update** I have been using this filament for about a week now, and I absolutely love it! I have tried a variety of ABS from different companies and the quality of this IC3D filament is of noticeable difference. It produces very high quality looking prints, I am ordering a second spool of this red because I love it so much!

This was my first spool of ABS I had ever used, so needless to say I'm a bit of a rookie when it comes to printing the stuff. Once I got my print settings and bed adhesion method ironed out (Elmers glue stick on a Boro glass bed) I'm really happy with the strength and finish of this material! The filament measured +/- 0.02 with one exception of a 1.67mm read that I got, but it hasn't had a noticeable impact in any of my prints. Good flow at 230-260C, good adhesion at 105-110C for the bed and very low odor (don't even notice). I do feel like I have seen other filaments that print just as well for less, but if I have the extra funds I will definitely purchase this again! Plus being from Ohio as well I had a little bit of brand loyalty by default!Update: I went home to Ohio and while I was there they were nice enough to give me a tour! Their QA is outstanding and they truly stand behind their product!

First quarter of the roll had severe warping issues, and couldn't get anything to stick. This was not our set up, as ABS from both Hatchbox and Prototype Supply printed just fine with no issues. Would not stick (without warping) to Kapton tape with acetone slurry without smashing it to the bed, rendering the part nearly impossible to dislodge without marring. Could only successfully print very small parts, and those results varied as well. Multiple times we attempted to come back to this spool to give it another shot.The absolute last straw was after that first quarter of the roll, it would no longer extrude, even after increasing temps +20C and lowering print speeds by over 50%. The extruder motor skipped at an increasing frequency, and then the flow seized completely. Even had issues purging the material out to switch over to another brand of ABS.I am terribly disappointed, as I had purchased a roll of this, and then my boyfriend also purchased one additional roll for a large printing project. We are now stuck with two rolls of junk. The most disappointing thing of all, is that we were excited to try filament that was produced locally (in our home state). The quality of the product has really been a let down.--More detailed information below--We are most certainly not novices at printing, and I am certainly not a novice with polymers. This was a defective spool. The MFR(MVR) was obviously not consistent, and there were other corresponding physical properties issues with the polymer. I also noticed that the IC3D ABS had a matte finish to it, whereas all other ABS I have encountered had a much higher gloss on average. (This may or may not be a factor, as I do not have a direct standard of IC3D's to compare it to.) Without knowing the supplier's exact production process, I would venture to say that the ratio of the base monomers used in this batch was the culprit (either in-house or from their supplier), as the low MFR and high viscosity would not be suitable for (relatively) low pressure extrusion of a 3D printer. Additionally, the ratio was not uniform, as the flow rate varied and then dropped sharply at the time of us finally giving up. Bottom line, the filament we received most certainly deviated way past UCL/LCL's.
