HATCHBOX ABS 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, White, Model Number: 3D ABS-1KG1.75-WHT

HATCHBOX ABS 3D Printer Filament in Black is a game-changer for 3D printing enthusiasts. This filament boasts exceptional dimensional accuracy with a precision of +/- 0.03 mm, ensuring that your prints turn out with the utmost detail and precision. What sets this product apart is its consistency - every layer adheres seamlessly to the previous one, resulting in flawlessly smooth and professional-looking prints.I found the 1 kg spool to be generously sized, allowing for numerous projects without the need for constant replacements. Whether you're a seasoned 3D printing pro or just starting out, the 1.75 mm diameter of this filament ensures compatibility with a wide range of 3D printers.I've tried other filaments, but HATCHBOX ABS stands out for its reliability and consistent performance. The black color option adds a touch of sophistication to my prints, making them suitable for both functional prototypes and creative projects. Overall, this filament has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality 3D printing results.

Before I dive into the negatives, it's worth pointing out the goods in the product and why I like it. ABS is hard to print with, Hatchbox ABS is usually pretty strong and very good for the price. If you are looking to build durable materials and are willing to do some filament testing and stress tests you can absolutely get this to print beautiful parts that hold up to abuse, but you have to test the material.Being ABS, this suffers the same level of warping and shrinking as any other ABS material in 3d printing. You need a solid heat bed that can get to 100°C to even consider printing this and cold spots in your heat bed or lack of warm air during a print can cause shrinking, recommend having an enclosure around your printer as well as a decent heat bed to even consider printing ABS. That aside, this specific color does appear to be a little more difficult to work with than the black, grey, and white ABS that I've had from the same company. Temperature tolerances are much lower on this specific color and so printing above 210°C has caused printing quality issues as well as burned filament. Occasionally I'll just have blobs or streaks of brown as if the filament had been sitting in the hot end too long but never had the same issue with the white filament.I did some serious dial-in testing with my prints (photos included to show progress) because out of the box I struggled to get any form of decent bridging or overhang. For some reason this material oozed like hell and was especially apparent when trying to bridge even small gaps. It's not consistent with flow rate and actually had worse blob issues with decreased flow rate. I have my finalized settings below, but after about 30-40 extreme bridging tests I was able to understand the tolerances of this material. Unfortunately I had some issues with first layer adhesion as well and I'm not sure if this is related to the color and dye used or not, but using a brim of 2mm has almost entirely eliminated all first layer issues. Settings I landed on are below, your mileage may vary so I recommend doing temperature and bridge tests if you have issues.Slicer: PrusaSlicer 2.3.0Printer: Prusa Mini (DIY, not official)Enclosure: YesFirst layer temperature: 235°CEvery other layer temperature: 210°CHeatbed: 100°C (All Layers)Bridge fan speed: 75%Normal cooling fan: 25% (always on)Bridge print speed: 25mm/sBridge flow rate: 0.75

Prints strong with no issues. I print at 260. But this has the strongest odor if ever had. Have fresh air circulation

I have an extensive history when it comes to printing glow ABS and all of the basic "Glow in the Dark" filaments are an off-white color - not pure white but more like white that's been watered down a bit.The Hatchbox Glow in the Dark is a CLEAR filament with a touch of haziness to it. Printing it ls like printing clear PETG where the final print isn't actually transparent but more akin to an ice cube.It prints well - no complaints there. Adhesion and uniformity were on point. The glow effect just wasn't what I'm used to out of a standard Glow in the Dark filament and with the Hatchbox name and pricing, I assumed it would be exceptional in that area.

Of the 10 prints I've made with it so far, 100% of them look perfect!Great adhesion, and the prints I've made seem remarkably sturdy.

After a few poor experiences with other ABS filaments, I finally decided to pay the more expensive price to see what I’d get. WOW. This filament has had no issues for me at all, and it has never skipped on me when other higher end filaments would as well. Prints very good and strong, works just as expected. I would recommend this to anyone looking for more filament!

Update: After speaking with a representative, they replaced the contaminated spool and the new one is of great quality. Good customer service, too! My prints are coming out flawless. If you do receive a spool that with the results below, just email them and let them know what's going on; they take care of their customers. I'm definitely coming back to them in the future.____________________________________________First of all, this filament is SATISFACTORY for small projects, but the imperfections within it really build up on larger projects.I've probably had to redo the same print 4 times to get it as an acceptable print with this material; while the cheaper ABS holds up! Have I mentioned the flak it puts out?? I'd hate to know how many even smaller sized clusters I can't see, that I'm still inhaling!If you want to waste your money, your time....and maybe even your health, buy this.If you still want to buy this, use a infill rate between 35% and <100% and boost the temp. up to 235+ to negate the effects of the impurities. At least then it might not be a total loss, but more than likely, layer adhesion will be your biggest problem... along with the particles it emits.Update: I've contacted the company and they're sending a replacement. I'll let everyone know how the new spool turns out.

Good prints with this filament

Muy buen filamento, solo me costo calibrar la temperatura por que mi clima es muy humedo y caluroso, pero funciona perfectamente

Da mucha resolución a las piezas impresas muy resistente!

He comprado varios colores de esta marca y todos me han dado buen resultado

Fue un regalo. Pero al parecer es resiste para imprimir diversas cosas.
