Warranty Information

ZYLtech ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the perfect combination of both quality and affordable 3D printer filament. Makers do not need to sacrifice quality prints in order to save a few bucks!

ZYLtech ABS is one of the most widely used 3D printing filament. Best for making sturdy and durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures, ABS is a great addition to any workplace - whether it’s your office, construction site, workbench or classroom, ABS can integrate into any maker’s projects. ZYLtech filaments include PLA, PLA Composites, ABS, PETG, TPU, and HIPS. If you’re a beginner with a limited budget, or an additive manufacturer looking to save on production costs, ZYLtech ABS is the go-to filament to finish any job.

3D printed parts made with ABS filament tend to be more flexible and less liable to shatter than those made with PLA filament. ABS printed parts can go through an acetone vapor bath to provide a smooth and glossy look that eliminates layer lines. A heated bed must be used when printing with ABS 3D printer filament, as it contracts or shrinks when it cools, which can cause warping. Building an enclosure for your printer or using a fully enclosed 3D printer will provide cleaner ABS prints. All ZYLtech filament is sealed with desiccant for storage and freshness.

Use cases for ABS filament over PLA:

Strength and Durability Greater Than PLA

ZYLtech's ABS 3D printer filament is formulated specifically for strength and durability. ABS filament is a great and affordable choice for functional prints and products intended for outdoor use.

More heat and chemical resistant

ABS has a significantly higher Glass Transition Temperature (around 230°F vs PLA’s 130°F) which makes it a great choice for parts intended for outdoor use!

Significant Savings

ZYLtech’s ABS 3d printer filament is offered at a more affordable price than PLA and PETG so you can print more for less!

Design Variety

ABS is an altogether different material than PLA and thus has different physical characteristics. ABS colors tend to produce a more matte finish than PLA. This makes for even more variety and creativity in your 3D print designs!

Reliability

Zyltech filament is all about reliability. When you need a stronger and more durable functional part, you need to know you are printing with a material you can trust and depend on. ZYLtech’s #1 goal is to provide you with the most reliable and the strongest 3D printer filament at the best price possible.

Quality Control

Zyltech ABS 3D printter filament is meticulously tested for quality and consistency. We use top quality US based raw materials and additives for reliable results time after time. Our 1.75mm ABS filament tolerances of ±.05mm make for steady feed rates and reliable extrusion on both Bowden and Direct Drive setups!

Color Consistency:

It's important to us here at ZYLtech that all of our 3d printer filaments have consistent and reliable color in each and every roll that comes off the production floor. Our chemist and quality control department work closely to ensure that our formulas produce reliably reproducible results every time.

Pro Tips from the ZYLtech Print Lab:

Leveling for ABS filament:

If you use the paper method to level, we usually suggest leveling as you would for PLA then setting a Z offset of appx .35mm. There are also a variety of ABS slurries/bed adhesion products that can help with getting that perfect first layer.

First Layer Adherence:

ABS typically is printed with no cooling fan. Your use case may vary.

Layer Adhesion:

ABS 3d printer filament will adhere to itself more efficiently when printed with little to no parts cooling fan. If you are working with fine detail or bridging, you will have to experiment with parts cooling fan settings for best results.

Stringing and retraction:

ABS and PLA typically require similar retraction settings. You will need to experiment with stringing and retraction test models to dial in your machine’s settings.

Good filament, but the black is a little too shiny.

Posted by Jason Barnard on Feb 9th 2023

I recently ordered a few rolls of the ZYLTech ABS filament; Black, Gray, and White. Overall the quality is on par with some of the more popular brands and I am pleased with it's performance. I like how the rolls have a measurement guide on the side to tell you how much more is left. ZYLTech is also quick to ship and even though I live half way across the country I can usually have it in my hand within about 3-4 days of ordering.
Overall I will give it 4 stars because I do see some areas I would like to see minor improvements.

First one is the black is way too shiny. Some might think this is a preference thing, but honestly the shinier it is the more minor imperfections show. Most vendors use more of a matte finish and it does a better job of hidding outside wall variance. I did not see this issue with the Gray and White and found I liked the ZYLTech colors a little better than some of the competitors I have used. Specifically I really like the white color, some competitors have more of a dingy or ivory color to the white. ZYLTech's white seemed a little brighter in comparison.

The second improvement item I would love to see is a resealable plastic bag for storage. Rarely does anyone open a spool and use the whole thing at one time, especially on the large 5kg Texas spools. A few vendors have started providing resealable bags for prolonged storage. Lets be honest, this is a very inexpensive enhancement and probably only adds a few pennies to the overall cost. If ziplock can sell a box of a hundred zipping bags for a few dollars, I don't imagine the zipping mechanism costs much to add.

Lastly, while I love the printer filament guide included in the boxes that tell you important details like print and bed temperatures as well as print speeds for the various filament. I would love to see the inclusion of an average empty spool weight. While the remaining filament marks on the side of the spool are nice, they are just not accurate enough. Most slicers will tell you exactly how many grams of filament the print will use and weighing the spool is a more accurate way to know if you have enough left. But for that to work you need to know the empty spool weight so you can deduct that out of your calculations. This would cost really nothing to add, but would very helpful and a nice touch.

Black ABS

Have printed 4 rolls of black ABS and has been very consistent and good quality print. Used for robotics parts and have been satisfied with the quality. Great value for the price and always a quick ship after ordering. Highly recommend!
