Storage and Maintenance

To maintain optimal material properties:

• Store in a dry place at room temperature
• Protect from direct sunlight
• Keep in a resealable container with a moisture absorber
• Recommended to dry before printing at 80°C for 4-6 hours

Before printing, we recommend drying the ABS filament to minimise moisture, which can negatively affect print quality. You can use PolyDryer or PolyDryer Box for drying, which effectively remove moisture and prepare the filament for optimal printing conditions.

For long-term storage, it is advisable to keep the filament in a resealable container with a moisture absorber such as silica gel. These methods complement each other and ensure that your filament remains dry and ready for quality printing.

Safety Recommendations

• Ensure good ventilation of the printing area
• Use protective equipment during post-processing
• Not suitable for printing objects intended for food contact
• Fumes are produced during printing - air filtration recommended

ABS filament from Gembird is a reliable choice for demanding 3D printing projects requiring durability and thermal stability. Thanks to its properties and wide range of applications, this material is ideal for users looking for a versatile filament for printing functional and sturdy parts.
