It also supports the open filament tag standard, so a compatible machine can read the spool and load the right settings for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy only black and white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are the easiest colours to keep identical from run to run, and they cover most real work. Prove the process on the colours that hold best, then add the ones that are harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get a custom colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is one of the real advantages of local extrusion. Bring a hex, a Pantone reference or a physical sample. See the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cntrlp.com.au\/custom-colour\"\u003ecustom colour page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes ABS need an enclosure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS prints far more reliably in an enclosure. ABS shrinks as it cools, and cold air on the part causes warping and cracks between layers. An enclosed printer keeps the air warm and still, which lets larger ABS parts finish without lifting off the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperature should I print ABS at?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS usually prints with the nozzle at 240 to 260°C and the bed at 90 to 110°C. Keep the part cooling fan off or very low. Higher chamber temperatures improve layer bonding and reduce warping on bigger ABS parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between ABS and ASA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS and ASA print on very similar settings and have similar strength and heat resistance. The main difference is that ASA resists UV light and weather, so ASA keeps its colour and strength outdoors. ABS yellows and turns brittle in long term sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the range on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/pages\/cntrl-p\"\u003eCNTRL P page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout ABS filament\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS is a strong, heat resistant 3D printer filament used for functional and mechanical parts. It holds its shape to around 100°C and can be sanded, glued and vapour smoothed. ABS needs a heated bed and an enclosure to avoid warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ABS is good for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS suits printer parts, automotive interior parts, housings and brackets that sit near heat. It machines and sands well and takes acetone smoothing. ABS gives off fumes while printing, so print it in an enclosure with ventilation or filtration. For outdoor parts ASA prints much the same and adds UV resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/collections\/all-abs\"\u003eABS filament\u003c\/a\u003e or the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/collections\/cntrl-p-filament\"\u003eCNTRL P Australian made filament\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CNTRL P","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":67619186573591,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":67619186606359,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9168\/1815\/files\/cntrlp-spool-black.webp?v=1790684533","url":"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/products\/cntrl-p-abs","provider":"SIDDAMENT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
