Superior Printing Reliability
ABS-R represents a breakthrough in ABS 3D printing technology. Traditional ABS filament is notoriously difficult to print, prone to warping, cracking, and jamming. MakerBot's new formulation solves these challenges with a 98% reduction in print failures, enabling even beginners to achieve professional results. Combined with the METHOD X's patented VECT 110 heated chamber technology, ABS-R produces dimensionally accurate parts without the hassle of traditional ABS printing.
Smart Spool Technology
Each spool features Smart Spool RFID technology that communicates directly with your MakerBot METHOD X printer. The system automatically identifies the material type, tracks the remaining filament, and maintains optimal storage conditions with a built-in desiccant that keeps moisture levels low inside the printer's drawer bay. No more guessing how much filament is left or manually adjusting print settings.
