ABS FAQ
Why is ABS harder to print?
ABS warps easily and requires an enclosed printer with a heated bed at 100°C+. Our makers have the right equipment — you don't need to worry about print settings.
Can ABS be smoothed?
Yes — ABS can be vapor-smoothed with acetone for a glossy, injection-molded appearance. Request this in your order notes.
ABS vs PETG?
ABS handles higher temperatures and can be smoothed, but PETG is easier to print and more impact-resistant. Choose ABS when heat resistance is critical.
