ABS filament settings 3D printer

ABS filament is a very popular 3D filament: you can print this filament relatively easily, but you do need a heated bed.


ABS filament shrinks if it cools down too quickly and as a result warping and layers can split. Therefore, ensure that you print ABS in an enclosed space or enclosure.

ABS is made from oil residue, is not degradable and therefore has a large biological footprint.


Keep the following 3D printer settings for ABS:

  • Nozzle temperature: 220 - 240 ° C
  • Heated bed: 80 - 100 ° C
  • Fan cooling: 0 - 20%
  • Enclosure: Yes, if possible
  • Print speed: 25 - 70 mm / sec.
  • Basis: Raft or brim
  • Bed adhesion: Yes, Gravity Spray or Magigoo
  • Minimum nozzle diameter: from 0.25 mm
  • Nozzle: Regular brass is sufficient
  • Storage: Always keep your filament in an airtight bag at room temperature in a dry environment
