ABS filament KLEMA 1.75 mm 1 kg Black

ABS Plastic KLEMA Black for 3D Printing Mechanical Components and Industrial Prototypes

ABS Plastic KLEMA 1.75 mm 1 kg Black is a thermoplastic filament for FDM 3D printing of mechanical components, casing parts, mounting fixtures, and functional prototypes. The material combines rigidity, impact resistance, and the ability to withstand heating, allowing it to be used for manufacturing parts with various mechanical property requirements. ABS is also amenable to mechanical processing, enabling printed components to be refined and adapted for assembly with other structural elements.

Material Advantages

• Impact Resistance. ABS combines a rigid polymer base with an elastomeric component that aids in absorbing impact energy. This allows the material to be used for manufacturing protective covers, lids, and other components that may experience accidental impacts during use.
• Rigidity During Bending. The flexural modulus is 2,000 MPa. This indicator characterizes the material's resistance to elastic deformation under bending load and helps assess its suitability for manufacturing structural elements that need to maintain a given shape.
• Heat Resistance. ABS can be used to manufacture parts that undergo heating during equipment operation. The heat deflection temperature is 95°C under a load of 0.45 MPa. This indicator should be considered when designing products that operate under simultaneous exposure to temperature and mechanical loads.
• Possibility of Mechanical Refinement. Printed parts can be drilled, threaded, machined on seating surfaces, and other operations can be performed to prepare products for assembly. This allows combining additive manufacturing with traditional processing methods and using ABS to create mounting and assembly components.

Features of Working with ABS

• Manufacturing Parts with Specified Dimensions. During the transition from molten to solid state, ABS undergoes thermal shrinkage. Uneven cooling can lead to changes in the product's geometry, so for parts with precise seating surfaces, it is important to consider possible dimensional deviations. Before manufacturing a series, it is advisable to check the dimensions of a test part and, if necessary, adjust the 3D model or printing parameters.
• Features of Polymer Bonding. ABS belongs to materials that can be bonded using appropriate solvents or special adhesive compositions for ABS. This allows for the creation of structures from several printed parts, including products that cannot be placed in the printer's working area as a single model. The bonding method should be selected according to the geometry of the contact surfaces and the intended loads.
• Interaction with Chemical Substances. ABS is resistant to water, weak acids, and weak alkalis, but its properties may change under the influence of organic solvents, including acetone. When manufacturing parts that will come into contact with chemical substances, it is necessary to consider the composition of the environment, concentration, and duration of contact.
• Safety During Processing. During heating, ABS may release volatile organic compounds and ultrafine particles. The workplace should be equipped with proper ventilation or an air extraction and filtration system. During drilling, grinding, and other mechanical processing operations, it is also necessary to prevent the accumulation of plastic dust in the work area.

Features of 3D Printing with ABS

For printing with ABS, it is recommended to use a 3D printer with an enclosed case and a heated platform. The enclosed working chamber helps reduce temperature fluctuations around the model, and applying glue to the platform improves the adhesion of the first layer during part manufacturing.

Unlike materials for which intensive model cooling is used, it is recommended to turn off the cooling fan when printing with ABS. This helps avoid a sharp decrease in the temperature of the applied layers and reduces the risk of delamination.

When choosing a printing mode, it should be considered that as the filament feed speed increases, the need for rapid material heating also increases. For ABS, two nozzle temperature ranges are provided depending on the printing speed, as shown in the table below.

Recommendations for Drying and Storage

The recommended drying temperature for ABS is 80°C. The duration of the procedure should be determined based on the condition of the filament and the characteristics of the drying equipment.

During storage, it is important to limit the material's contact with moisture. For this, use airtight packaging or a special container with a desiccant. The recommended relative humidity of the environment during storage and printing is below 20%.

Store the spool away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After prolonged exposure in open packaging, the filament should be checked for signs of moisture and dried if necessary before use.

Application Areas

• Mounting and Assembly Equipment. Drilling jigs, positioning elements, clamps, and special fixtures for assembling products and performing production operations.
• Mechanism Components. Levers, control handles, guides, and auxiliary parts of mechanical assemblies, whose geometry can be adapted to a specific design.
• Casing Elements of Technical Devices. Covers, panels, protective housings, and internal mounting components for placing electronic and mechanical units of equipment.
• Research Samples and Functional Mockups. Prototypes with moving elements, assembly models, and experimental parts for testing design solutions, mutual arrangement of components, and mechanism operation.
