MakerBot MP01978 True Orange ABS 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1kg Spool
The MakerBot True Colour ABS Filament in True Orange is precision-engineered for professional-quality 3D printing with MakerBot Replicator 2X, Replicator 1, and Thing-O-Matic MK6+ printers. This 1kg spool of 1.75mm ABS filament delivers consistent, reliable results for mechanical designs, functional prototypes, machine parts, and projects requiring durability and impact resistance.
Why Choose MakerBot ABS Filament
MakerBot ABS is the most tested and consistent filament for MakerBot 3D printers, subjected to rigorous quality testing at both 100 micron and 200 micron layer resolutions. Because it's more flexible than PLA, MakerBot ABS is well-suited for mechanical designs or ones that have interlocking or pin-connected pieces. Compared to PLA, ABS has a longer lifespan, is more impact resistant, and has a more matte look and finish.

Professional-Grade Performance
The true orange 1.75mm ABS Filament from MakerBot is designed to work with the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer, MakerBot Replicator 1 3D Printer, and MakerBot Thing-O-Matic MK6+ Desktop 3D Printer. When used with MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printers, MakerBot ABS Filament helps produce higher-quality prints, reduce filament problems, and minimize downtime. Each color undergoes extensive long-duration testing with large 3D models to verify consistent performance throughout the entire spool.
Ideal Applications
MakerBot ABS filament excels in applications requiring durability and strength. MakerBot ABS Filament has a high melting point, so it's suitable for machine or car parts. Perfect for engineering prototypes, mechanical assemblies with moving parts, jigs and fixtures, automotive components, tool housings, and any project where impact resistance and longevity are essential.
Printing Requirements
This filament requires a heated build platform, and prior to printing, please ensure the build plate is level, clean, and oil-free. MakerBot ABS adheres well to Kapton tape on heated build plates. Use in a well-ventilated area for optimal printing conditions.
