=Definition=

ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, (chemical formula (C8H8)x· (C4H6)y·(C3H3N)z) is a common filament used in 3D printing.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene Wikipedia link]

=Printing Tips=

==Before Printing==

Heat build plate as close to 85°C as possible. Using hairspray without lubricant (i.e., Aqua Net) is recommended.

==Hyrel Setting Recommendations==

The following settings are recommended for printing ABS on a Hyrel Printer:

===MK1-250 Print Head Settings===

ABS prints best from the [[MK1-250]] print head with these settings:

*Pulses per nanoliter: (leave default)
*Flow Multiplier: 1.000
*Prime Values:
**Steps: 100
**Rate: 10,000
**Time: 25
**Primes after tool change: 1
*Unprime Values:
**Steps: 100
**Rate: 10,000
**Time: 20
**Unprimes before tool change: 1

===Slic3r Settings===

*Printing Temperature: 235°C
*Built Plate Temperature: 85°C
*Cooling: 0% for first five layers; 50% thereafter

==After Printing==

Use progressively higher grit sandpapers to remove ridges from layers. Use heat gun to darken areas discolored by sanding. Apply finishing spray (XTC or similar) for a glossy finish.

=Warnings=

Print in well ventilated conditions to avoid inhalation of potentially toxic fumes, although these are produced in relatively small amounts.

Avoid exposure to direct flame or temperatures greater than 404°C, as this could cause the ABS to catch fire.
