ABS High Speed 3D Printing Filament
3D META's ABS High Speed 3D printing filament is engineered to bring the proven strength, heat resistance, and durability of ABS to today's high-speed FDM printers. Using a specially optimised acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) blend, ABS High Speed delivers faster extrusion and shorter print times while maintaining the toughness and dimensional stability ABS is known for. The result is a filament that prints reliably at elevated speeds, with strong layer adhesion, smooth surfaces, and excellent mechanical performance. Like all 3D META filaments, ABS High Speed is manufactured to strict tolerances and supplied on recyclable plastic spools — built for makers, engineers, and production users who need professional ABS parts in a fraction of the time.
Key Features of ABS High Speed 3D Printing Filament
• Optimised for High-Speed Printing: Reformulated for fast extrusion and high flow, allowing significantly shorter print times without sacrificing accuracy or surface finish.
• Manufactured with High-Quality Materials: Every spool is produced from premium ABS resin with tightly controlled diameter for smooth, consistent feeding.
• Excellent Strength and Toughness: Retains the impact resistance, rigidity, and durability that make ABS a go-to material for functional parts and end-use components.
• High Heat Resistance: Glass transition temperature around 100°C makes ABS High Speed suitable for parts exposed to warm environments, automotive interiors, and enclosed equipment.
• Strong Layer Adhesion: Reformulated melt behaviour delivers reliable inter-layer bonding even at faster print speeds, reducing splitting and cracking.
• Easy to Post-Process: Sand, drill, tap, glue, and acetone-smooth parts for a professional finish or watertight assembly.
• Strict QA Manufacturing: Each batch is checked for diameter, ovality, and colour consistency to ensure trouble-free printing roll after roll.
Applications for ABS High Speed 3D Printing Filament
With the proven mechanical performance of ABS and the throughput of a high-speed formulation, ABS High Speed suits users who need durable parts produced quickly:
• Functional Prototypes: Print working prototypes and engineering models with the strength to be tested, fitted, and stress-checked.
• Mechanical Parts and Housings: Brackets, enclosures, gears, clips, and fixtures that need to withstand repeated use.
• Automotive and Engineering Components: Trim parts, interior brackets, and under-hood components where heat resistance matters.
• Tooling, Jigs and Fixtures: Production aids that need to survive workshop environments and ongoing handling.
• Small-Batch Manufacturing: Faster print speeds make short production runs of ABS parts more efficient and cost-effective.
Note: ABS produces fumes during printing and is prone to warping. We strongly recommend printing in an enclosed printer with a heated bed (90–110°C) and good ventilation.
Storage and Drying for ABS High Speed Filament
ABS absorbs moisture more slowly than PLA or PETG, but proper storage still helps maintain peak performance:
• Store in a Cool, Dry, Dark Environment: Use airtight containers or resealable bags with desiccants to keep humidity low.
• Drying Recommendations: If moisture is suspected, dry ABS High Speed in a filament dryer, food dehydrator, or enclosed 3D printer at 65–80°C for 4–6 hours.

Technical Specs
FAQs:
1. What temperature should I print ABS High Speed at?
We recommend a nozzle temperature of 240–260°C and a heated bed at 90–110°C. Use a fully enclosed printer to minimise warping and improve layer adhesion.
2. How fast can I actually print this filament?
Most modern high-speed printers can run ABS High Speed at 200–400 mm/s with appropriate acceleration settings. Always start with your printer manufacturer's recommended high-speed profile and tune from there.
3. Do I need an enclosure?
Yes — an enclosure is strongly recommended. ABS shrinks as it cools, and an enclosed, draft-free environment dramatically reduces warping, layer separation, and cracking on larger prints.
4. Can I smooth ABS High Speed prints with acetone?
Yes. ABS High Speed responds to acetone vapour smoothing in the same way as standard ABS, producing a glossy, watertight surface ideal for cosmetic parts and enclosures.
