Premium 3D Printer Filament
Description
ABS filament resists higher temperatures and offers great machinability, flexibility and strength, making
it the preferred choice of engineers and professionals. ABS plastic can be vapor smoothed, dissolved, or
welded in 434 Acetone, making post-processing easy.
MG Chemicals premium 3D printing filaments are manufactured under strict quality control to ensure
consistency. Our spools have a large hub to ensure uniform winding, and cut-outs on the sides so the user
can easily see how much filament is left.
