HATCHBOX ABS 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Beige

Prints extremely well on my BBL P1S Very tough material Adheres well to the build plate and prints relatively fine details

This produced very good ABS 3D prints…..nice semi gloss surface and a strong structure.

No problems printing on my Creality Ender 3v2 Neo in an enclosure.

This has printed well so far with an enclosed chamber. It is a bit smellier than I'd prefer and shouldn't be used without ventilation. I wouldn't buy this brand if you are intending to use acetone for vapor smoothing as it seems to be more resistant than average (it still works, just not as well as I'd like).

Used on a somewhat customised reprap (prusa i3). Extruder temp 230, bed temp 100 (pva coated glass), fan at 25% from second layer, 100% extrusion and 1.75 dia (varies 1.73-1.78 where I've measured). It bridges well and polishes up nicely with acetone vapour. Its a 'proper' white too.

Hatchbox Red 1.75mm - what can I say, prints fantastic, sticks to the glass print bed with minimal spray glue, never warps, never strings, stong solid sprints, excellent layer adhesion - a pleasure to print with - I have tried other brands and I am always comparing (often a lot more expensive brands) to Hatchbox filament and so far it always comes out on top!! Printing at 215-220 hotend temp and a heated bed at 75 Degrees onto a glass plate with 3d Lac adhesive spray - always prints spot on!

yello filament printed at 240 Some of the filament coming out with a brownish colour which means it is burning. When printed at 240 there are parts of the print that show that its struggling to be printed at that temp where minor overhangs or sagging, all other ABS filaments that I have do not behave this issue. Additionally I use printbite for my print bed and everything sticks to it really well except this filament, round ball type artifacts appearing. I know ABS is not easy to print and requires a heated enclosure with a very hot heat bed, when suppliers try to make printing it easy by adding other additives it no longer confirms to the standard ABS and then makes the end user relearn everything and have to experiment to find what makes it print well - this sucks immensely. very tempted to return it and look for a standard type ABS UPDATE: caused a blockage on my printer which implies it wants an even lower temperature, currently printing at 235 and its too hot and wants a lower temperature is definitely not ABS characteristics, very suspicious and would not recommend buying this filament.

I like the consistency of the filament diameter and fact it hasn't caused issues like cheap filaments from other suppliers. I am however disappointed in the brittle nature of a perfect print- others have mentioned similar on google and I wonder if this is a print processing issue or a filament issue. currently I find pla more durable than this ABS

good

Ich habe mir 2 Rollen Hatchbox ABS Filament gekauft , 1* Orange und 1* Schwarz . Mit der Orangen habe ich mir jetzt vorsichtshalber Ersatzteilen für mein Prusa I3 Mk2 gedruckt , Qualität ist super . Das Filament haftet bei mir sehr gut an der PEI-Beschichtung des Betts , es war kein Kleber oder ABS-Juice notwending ! Gedruckt habe ich mit 230° Hot-End , 100° Bett mit bis zum 100mm/s ohne Probleme . Danach zu Schwarz gewechselt , die Druckeigenschaften waren absolut gleich . Würde mir dieses Filament auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen !

Ich habe nun schon die 6. Rolle verschiedenster Farben der Hatchbox ABS Filamente verbraucht. Keine der Rollen machte Schwierigkeiten. Alle sauber gewickelt, der Durchmesser passt auch soweit. Ich kann nichts schlechtes berichten.

Very happy with the color and performance of this filament. I am new to 3D printing and this is first time I printed with ABS so I can offer no comparison to other filaments at this point - only actual performance vs expectations. Very good. No tangles. No bad spots. I used most of this spool to print an RC model ship 28" long and 6.5" wide, in multiple pieces. Each piece took about 10 to 14 hrs so it took about a week printing a piece or 2 each day. It rained 2 of those days but didn't seem real humid to me. Printer was Prusa MK2S kit built. The room temp was 61 degrees F, I had a thin foamboard box around my printer 24" square, no bottom. I used Prusa Control software to slice and changed no settings from the default for generic ABS - 255 degrees C hotend and 100 degrees for the heatbed. I used glue stick on the bare bed, no cleaning between prints but did add some glue each time - parts stuck extremely well. I thought this might be too hot a temp but it worked real well and the ABS is pretty solid - you can twist & bend it but it doesn't come apart at the layers. Pretty smooth finish at 150 microns, looks about the same as the PLA I used and was able to do some overhangs I thought not possible with such hot material. So on the second to last print, 4th day of printing, I could see a minor change in the surface appearance, not quite as smooth looking. Then the final print on friday looked like it had a rough finish. On close inspection I believe this to be the result of accumulated moisture absorbed by the ABS finally showing its effect. It was very minor and smoothed out easily enough. Very good results gluing/chemical welding the parts together with some of the scrap ABS (power went out on one piece and so it became scrap, I mean glue ingredient). So when my glue had finally gotten to the right consistency for me, it had been sitting for a couple of days and had enough ABS to Acetone ration so it was like melted ice cream. No clamps, just brush on each piece, hold for a few seconds, move on to the next piece, let dry completely overnight and it won't come apart but sands easily. Am going to buy some more of this brand ABS in other colors for other RC projects.

Nachdem ich einige Hersteller durch hatte, entschied ich mich für Hatchbox Filamente, da diese günstig und gut zu sein schienen. Die PET-G und PLA Rollen machten ein absolut gutes Bild und schienen meine Entscheidung zu bestätigen. Doch diese ABS Rolle gab mir in vielerlei Hinsicht zu denken. Zuerst riecht das Filament nicht. ABS ist ja bekannt dafür, beim Druck unangenehm zu riechen. Dieses Filament hingegen ist absolut neutral beim Druck. Was eigentlich nach einem Vorteil klingt macht mich etwas stutzig über die Zusammensetzung. Hat es die Performance, die man von ABS erwarten kann? Bisher hatte ich zumindest keine Probleme bzgl. Stabilität und somit sehe ich diesen Punkt eher positiv als negativ. Eine wissenschaftliche Analyse kann ich allerdings nicht abgeben. Die Druckbarkeit des Materials ist einwandfrei. Ich nutze 3DLAC auf einer beheizten Glasplatte, das funktioniert wunderbar. Auch die Variation des Durchmessers ist äußerst gering und macht keine Schwierigkeiten. Leider gibt es 1 KO-Kriterium, welches mich veranlasst hat, von Hatchbox wieder Abstand zu nehmen: Das Filament ist äußerst schlecht gewickelt. Knoten sind leider kein Einzelphänomen sondern sind auf der Rolle desöfteren zu finden. Das führt unweigerlich zum Druckabbruch, denn den Knoten schnell genug zu lösen ist schwierig bis unmachbar. Egal wie günstig eine Spule sein mag, so etwas darf auch bei 10 Euro Filamenten nicht passieren. Knoten - vor allem wenn sie im Rudel auftreten - machen das Filament unweigerlich zu Abfall, außer man wickelt es auf eine Leerrolle um. Fairerweise muss ich sagen, dass ich bei mehreren Rollen von Hatchbox - vor dieser Rolle - NIE ein einziges Problem hatte. Vielleicht habe ich ja eine "Montags-Spule" erwischt. Ich hoffe es zumindest, denn insgesamt ist das Material mitunter eines der besten bzgl. Preis/Leistung.
