ABS Pearl Gold 3D Filament
Experience an improved 3D Printer experience with the industry leading ABS Filament from TM3D. Available in diameters 1.75mm and 2.85mm , please note this when ordering.
Characteristics of ABS:
- Heat resistance: ABS has a higher melting temperature than PLA , making it more resistant to heat. This makes it suitable for applications that are exposed to higher temperatures, such as electronics components or items used in a car or outdoors.
- High Strength and Rigidity: ABS is a strong, rigid material that resists breaking and bending, making it ideal for creating durable parts and functional prototypes that must withstand mechanical stress.
- Soluble in Acetone: ABS can be smoothed out with acetone, resulting in a glossy finish. This property makes it possible to reduce the visibility of the printing layers and create a more polished look for the final product.
- Flexibility: Although ABS is stiff, it also offers a degree of flexibility, making it less likely to break under pressure than more brittle materials. This balance between stiffness and flexibility makes it versatile for different applications.
- Sensitivity to Warping: One of the challenges of printing with ABS is its tendency to warp, especially on larger prints. This is because ABS shrinks as it cools, which can lead to deformation of the bottom of the object. To combat this, it is recommended to use a heated print bed and keep the printing environment stable.
Applications:
The 3DFilament is versatile and suitable for a range of applications, including:
- Decorative objects and works of art
- Functional prototypes and parts
- Educational projects

Frequently asked questions
Got a question?
Which filament material should I choose for my 3D printer?
The material you choose depends on the intended use and the desired properties of the end product. Some popular filament options include PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (strong and impact resistant), PETG (durable and flexible), and TPU (flexible and elastic). Consider the desired strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and special properties when making your choice.
Which filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match the specifications of your 3D printer. The most common diameters are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Check your printer's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website to find out which diameter is suitable.
What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both commonly used filament materials, but they have different properties. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, less likely to warp and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact resistant and more resistant to higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation due to the odor released during printing.
What is the influence of filament color on the printing result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or mechanical properties of the final product, but it can affect the aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may hide them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired appearance of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To maintain the quality of your filament, it is important to store it properly. Store the filament in a dry and cool place, preferably in an airtight container or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can adversely affect print results, so protection against moisture is essential.
