MakerBot ABS-R Red Filament 1.75mm 0.65kg for METHOD X 3D Printer
The MakerBot ABS-R Red Filament (Model 375-0072A) is a high-performance 3D printing material engineered for the MakerBot METHOD X and METHOD X Carbon Fiber 3D printers. This advanced ABS formulation delivers superior printing reliability with a 98% jam reduction, ensuring consistent, repeatable results for prototypes, functional parts, and manufacturing-grade tools. Compatible with MakerBot RapidRinse water-soluble support material, ABS-R makes professional-quality ABS printing accessible to users of all skill levels.
Why Choose MakerBot ABS-R Filament?
ABS-R provides superior durability over standard ABS material, making it ideal for tools, parts, and more. Designed specifically for the METHOD X's heated chamber technology, this filament eliminates the warping and layer adhesion issues typically associated with ABS printing. The result is manufacturing-grade parts with clean surface finish, durability, and heat resistance - perfect for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, tooling, and end-use parts across engineering, product design, education, and manufacturing applications.
Key Features
-
98% Jam Reduction: Industry-leading reliability ensures uninterrupted printing and reduces material waste
-
Smart Spool Technology: RFID chip provides material type, colour, and amount remaining directly to MakerBot Print software, while integrated desiccant maintains low moisture levels
-
RapidRinse Compatible: Works seamlessly with MakerBot's fast-dissolving water-soluble support material for easy post-processing
-
Manufacturing-Grade ABS: Delivers the strength, durability, and heat resistance required for functional applications
-
Easy as PLA: Advanced formulation makes traditionally difficult ABS printing as simple as PLA
-
Vibrant Red Colour: Professional red finish ideal for prototypes, product mockups, and tooling applications
Technical Performance
MakerBot ABS-R delivers exceptional mechanical properties for demanding applications. With a tensile strength of 41 MPa, tensile modulus of 2400 MPa, and heat deflection temperature of 105°C at 64 psi, this material provides the strength and thermal resistance needed for functional parts. The filament's flexural strength of 79 MPa and impact resistance make it suitable for parts that must withstand mechanical stress and repeated use.
Compatibility
Compatible with MakerBot METHOD X and METHOD X Carbon Fiber Edition 3D printers equipped with the MakerBot 1XA Extruder. For optimal results, pair with MakerBot RapidRinse or SR-30 support filaments. The METHOD X's patented VECT 110 technology and 100°C heated chamber enable true manufacturing-grade ABS printing without warping or the need for weakening additives.
Smart Spool Technology
Each spool features integrated Smart Spool technology that communicates directly with your MakerBot METHOD X printer. The embedded RFID chip automatically identifies the material type, tracks remaining filament, and optimises print settings. An integrated desiccant packet maintains optimal moisture levels during storage in the printer's drawer bay, ensuring consistent print quality.
