ABS material is a polymerized styrene comprised of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Acrylonitrile and styrenegive ABS rigidity and a shiny surface. Polybutadiene provides toughness and impact strength. ABS is produced from fossil fuels, meaning that it is not biodegradable and has a greater environmental impact than PLA. GENERAL USAGE INFO ABS is a very popular and commonly used thermoplastic in industry because of its toughness and strength. ABS has good flow ability, it resists corrosion and abrasion. Although smoke and odor levels are low, all ABS filaments must be used in well ventilated area. It is recommended to use a heated print bed when printing ABS. ABS has a tendency to warp, which makes it a difficult material to print without a heated print bed. Ideally your print bed temperature should be set at approximately 80° to 110°C. A good first layer adhesion is of the utmost importance in obtaining the best results for your prints. Use the BuildTak pad delivered with the printer to coat the print plate for better adhesion. TIP! Please note that ABS will bend under too much heat, so after the first few layers, it’s best to turn down the print bed temperature a bit. STORAGE Store in a dry, clean place below 50ºC. Protect from dust. When storing your 3d Printing ABS filament for extended periods, place it in a resealable bag (ziplock) along with the included silica packet (few grains of rice work just as well). This will keep the material dry & free from any dust or dirt particles & moisture. PRECAUTIONS OF WORKING WITH THE PRODUCT Do not inhale vapors! Filament burning produces carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The printer should be positioned in a well­ventilated area. Be careful when preparing the filament for printing and during work. Risk of burns through melted filament. FIRST AID MEASURES ■■ Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately. ■■ Skin contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Cool skin rapidly with cold water after contact with hot polymer. ■■ Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately. ■■ Ingestion: Drink water as a precaution. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
