Need tough, heat-holding ABS that still prints cleaner than old hobby ABS? Matter3D Performance ABS is Canadian-made engineering ABS for brackets, housings, and end-use parts that need impact strength and heat hold. What's Included 1 × Matter3D Performance ABS spool in the colour you pick (1 kg) 1.75 mm filament Vacuum-sealed with desiccant; compounded and extruded in Victoria, BC Print Settings Nozzle: about 250-285°C (many jobs land near 260-280°C) Bed: about 110°C Fan: about 0-20% Speed: up to about 100 mm/s; keep detail work slower Dry before printing: about 3-4 hours below 65°C (hotter can soften spool glue) Enclosure: helpful for larger parts; small parts can often run without one Bed prep: hairspray, glue stick, or Kapton-style surface Material Performance ABS (matte, low-warp grade) 1.75 mm diameter; manufacturer tolerance about ±0.05 mm Higher impact and heat hold than PLA or PETG for functional housings Low odor / low VOC relative to older ABS; still use ventilation Not annealable (Matter3D notes lower crystallinity on this grade) Made in Canada Good To Know ABS is moisture sensitive. Dry the spool if it sat open Treat printed parts as non-food-contact. Printed ABS is porous and hard to sanitize Spools are 1.75 mm / 1 kg Use an enclosure and steady bed heat for big flat parts to cut warp Good For Functional brackets, housings, and fixtures that need more heat hold than PLA End-use parts where impact strength matters Larger technical prints when warp control is dialed in Jobs that can use HIPS / limonene-style soluble supports where your process allows
