ABS, or (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for the fancy pants among us... it's the work horse for most 3D printers out there right now - and why shouldn't it be; it's strong, cheap, easy to use and comes in many vivid colors. What makes MakerFilament ABS better than the others?? Well, I'm glad you asked... we do a few things very differently than others do when making our ABS 3D printer filament. For starters we take the time to dry our raw resin to negative 40f to insure that the resin will have zero moisture in it once you get it - this process can take from 4 to 10 hours (each batch) to accomplish and needs very expensive machinery and seems to be an overlooked step due to its cost and time. However, it's important to have perfectly dried resin before starting the extrusion process to make 3D printer filament or you'll find the dimensional tolerance isn't so good and the end product when 3D printed will have a high wrapping problem along with low-resolution do to voids in the filament. The next thing we do here at Maker Geeks when we are making your ABS Maker Filament is extrude it directly to the end users spool... many will make up large batches on 100-200lb spools and then store these (un-sealed) in open warehouses until the time comes to make smaller spools with them. This is great for productivity however it can lead to some real issues with the freshness of the filament as well as dimensional tolerances over the entire "mega-spool" - Maker Filament ABS is fresh from the extruder to the 1kg spool, right into a vacuum sealer packed with a desiccant so you know that each spool is fresh. Actually, it's more than likely no more than 7 days old once you receive it in the mail; we turn our product over so fast due to the high demand that most batches are being sold in the same week we make them! Now that's fresh filament and that makes a difference! So what does all this mean to you... well for starters it means we care about our filament and take the time and the money needed to make sure it's RIGHT for you and all these "extra" steps show themselves off in the finished product; we see better colors, higher-resolution, less jamming and lower wrapping issues since the filament is made to Maker Filament specifications; give Maker Filament ABS a try today and see for yourself! Hey, if you don't like it... send it back and we'll give you a full refund!! Maker Filament ABS has been and continues to be used daily here at MakerGeeks HQ for all our 3D printing (we run 10+ 3D printers nearly 24/7 from a variety of manufactures) Maker Filament ABS works great with: Ultimaker RepRap (Mendel, Huxley, Prusa, Kossel, Rostock) Solidoodle MakerBot (Replicator, Replicator 2, Replicator 2X) FlashForge Wanhao (Duplicator 4, 4X, 4S, 5S, 5S Mini, i3) Leapfrog UP!
