MakerBot MP01971 True Red ABS 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1kg Spool
The MakerBot True Red ABS Filament is a professional-grade 1.75mm 3D printing material designed for the MakerBot Replicator 2X, Replicator 1, and Thing-O-Matic MK6+ 3D printers. This 1kg spool delivers vibrant true red colour with excellent dimensional accuracy and consistency, making it ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and creative projects that demand strength and durability.
Why Choose MakerBot ABS Filament?
MakerBot ABS filament is engineered for superior print quality and reliability, with tight tolerances that ensure steady flow through the extruder nozzle. More flexible than PLA, ABS is well-suited for mechanical designs with interlocking or pin-connected pieces, and offers a longer lifespan, greater impact resistance, and a professional matte finish. With a high melting point, it's perfect for machine parts, automotive components, and other functional applications that require heat resistance.
Key Features
-
Vibrant True Red Colour: Bold, consistent colour eliminates the need for painting on many projects
-
1.75mm Diameter: Precision-manufactured for smooth extrusion and minimal print failures
-
High Temperature Resistance: Suitable for functional parts exposed to heat up to 105°C (221°F) glass transition temperature
-
Impact Resistant & Flexible: More durable than PLA with excellent mechanical properties for moving parts
-
Acetone Soluble: Easily weld parts together or create a high-gloss finish with acetone vapour smoothing
-
Quality Tested: Comprehensively tested at 100 and 200 micron layer resolutions for consistent results
Ideal Applications
Perfect for functional prototypes, mechanical assemblies, tooling, jigs and fixtures, and end-use parts that require strength and durability. The high heat resistance makes it suitable for automotive components, machine parts, enclosures, and any application where impact resistance and flexibility are essential.
Printing Requirements
-
Heated Build Platform Required: Ensure build plate is level, clean, and oil-free before printing
-
Optimal Nozzle Temperature: 230°C (446°F)
-
Build Surface: Adheres well to Kapton tape on heated build plate
-
Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area for best results and safety
Compatibility
Designed for MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental, MakerBot Replicator 1, and MakerBot Thing-O-Matic MK6+ Desktop 3D Printers. While optimized for MakerBot printers, this high-quality ABS filament works excellently with any 3D printer that uses 1.75mm ABS filament and features a heated build platform.
