Creality CR ABS Black 3D Printer Filament 1kg – 1.75mm

Creality CR Black ABS 3D printer filament is engineered for
functional prints that need to hold up under heat, impact, and
everyday mechanical stress. ABS is a go-to material for
enclosures, brackets, housings, and structural components where
PLA simply won’t hold up. Stocked locally in South Africa by
Vexil 3D Labs — available now, no international lead
times.

Key Features

• Impact and Stress Resistance: ABS
  handles mechanical loads and repeated impact with greater
  resilience than PLA — well suited to parts that take regular
  use or physical stress.
• Heat Resistance: Withstands higher
  operating temperatures than PLA, making it a practical
  choice for parts mounted near electronics, motors, or warm
  enclosures.
• Consistent Diameter: Maintained at
  1.75mm with tight tolerance (±0.03mm) for reliable extrusion
  and consistent results across multi-hour prints.
• Post-Processing Friendly: ABS machines
  cleanly — it sands, drills, taps, and responds well to
  acetone vapour smoothing for a polished final
  surface.
• All-Purpose Black Finish: Black hides
  layer lines well and suits functional, industrial, and
  display applications equally — one of the most versatile
  filament colours in any workshop.

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 230°C – 270°C
• Bed Temperature: 80°C – 100°C
• Print Speed: 40–100mm/s
• Cooling Fan: OFF or minimal — active
  cooling on ABS causes thermal contraction, layer splitting,
  and warping.
• Enclosure: Strongly recommended. ABS
  prints in an open environment but an enclosure is strongly
  recommended to prevent warping on larger parts.
• Drying: Recommended — reseal the spool
  bag after use. If filament has been exposed to moisture: dry
  at 70°C for 4–6 hours before printing.

Ensure adequate ventilation during printing — ABS
produces fumes and should not be used in unventilated
spaces.

Compatible Printers

Compatible with most FDM printers. Best results with an
enclosed printer. Suitable for Creality CR-10, Bambu Lab X1/P1
(enclosed), Prusa MK4 with enclosure, and similar machines.
Not recommended for open-frame printers on large parts.
