MakerBot METHOD X ABS Filament Orange 0.65kg with Smart Spool RFID
The MakerBot METHOD X True Color ABS Filament in Orange is a production-grade 3D printing material optimized for the MakerBot METHOD X 3D printer. Engineered to match the performance characteristics of injection-molded ABS, this 0.65kg (1.43lb) spool delivers exceptional strength, rigidity, and precision for manufacturing tools, end-use parts, and functional prototypes. The integrated Smart Spool RFID chip provides real-time information on material type, color, and remaining filament, while the built-in desiccant maintains optimal moisture levels for consistent print quality.
Key Features
-
Production-Grade ABS Material: Engineered without modifiers to match injection-molded ABS performance for professional applications
-
High Strength & Rigidity: Features a 348,000 psi tensile modulus and can withstand temperatures up to 183°F (99°C)
-
Smart Spool Technology: Integrated RFID chip transmits material type, color, and amount remaining directly to the printer
-
Optimal Storage: Built-in desiccant maintains low moisture levels inside the drawer bay for consistent quality
-
True Color Orange: Vibrant, consistent orange color ideal for prototypes, tools, and end-use parts
-
Wide Application Range: Perfect for manufacturing tools, jigs, fixtures, end-use parts, and functional prototypes
Professional-Grade Performance
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is one of the most widely used plastics in injection molding, found in products ranging from LEGO bricks to automotive components. This MakerBot ABS filament is formulated without modifiers to deliver the same excellent thermal and mechanical properties as traditional injection-molded ABS. With a tensile strength of 43 MPa and a heat deflection temperature of 99°C (210°F), it's built for demanding applications where strength and temperature resistance are critical.
Smart Spool Convenience
The Smart Spool system eliminates guesswork from your 3D printing workflow. An integrated RFID chip communicates directly with the MakerBot METHOD X printer, automatically identifying material type, color, and remaining quantity. The spool also includes a desiccant to keep moisture levels low, ensuring optimal print quality and material performance over time.
Ideal Applications
-
Manufacturing Tools: Create custom jigs, fixtures, and tooling at lower cost with faster turnaround
-
End-Use Parts: Produce low-volume production parts and components requiring high geometric complexity
-
