Basic Attributes High impact and heat resistance Bad smell Strong and versatile Worse resolution Soluble in acetone (easy post-processing) Requires enclosure Can be vapor smoothed Beginners tips & tricks Printing in enclosure Thermal contraction is where ABS makes it really hard to successfully print something. And that’s especially true when printing anything larger. Even with the heatbed at 100 °C, your part may start lifting from the build plate and warp.
