Great stuff

Have used at least 4 rolls of this stuff now and have had some of my best prints to date using it. Beats some other brands i wont mention by far. Bed adhesion is good, line doesnt break when feeding, strong(far as abs goes) and consistant. Will be ordering more.

My go-to filament company

I have yet to be let down by Hatchbox and always happy with the results. * Fairly average price * Good layer adhesion * Reliable dimensional accuracy * Recommended print settings on the spool label (this is so important) * Long shelf life There isn't really anything magical about this filament - it is reliable which I think is more important. No more / less than expected amounts of warping for ABS, lower printing temp than usual with ABS, produces strong prints. Remember that print settings vary between printers: Print Temp: 210 Celsius Build Plate Temp: 80 Celsius Layer Height: 0.1mm - 0.2mm Retraction: 1mm - 2mm Outline Walls: 1 @ 100% infill, 2 @ 75% infill, no more than 3-4 Top/Bottom Walls: more than 0.5mm (probably around 0.8mm or more) Print Speeds: I run at 3600/min or 60/sec just fine. Use 300/min (5/sec) for the first layer to improve plate adhesion. Recommend a brim at 15+ walls at 2 layers (if available) to help warping Recommend a heated / enclosed environment

Accidentally bought this when their PLA went off prime, and I'm not even mad.

accidentally brought this when trying to order PLA, decided to keep it and try ABS and see what happens. I can't go back,I love it. Not only is it super easy to sand it, but treating it with acitone vapor removes any layer lines, for lack of a better word, it makes your prints look sexy. Downside is the smell and having to build an enclosure and learning CNC to cool down my bed slowly to prevent cracking (about 2°/second). But because it stays heated while printing, when it cools down, it contracts and makes it a lot easier to remove prints from my bed, hell the last one fell off as I was removing my glass bed.

Very pleased with HATCHBOX filament.

HATCHBOX has proven to be a great ABS filament. You do have to watch the diameter closely of any brand of filament as it does vary from spool to spool (the current spool I'm using, the filament measures egg shapped between 1.69 and 1.74mm) and you'll need to adjust the Extrusion Multiplier accordingly. If the diameter changes enough from what the printer was calibrated for, it can cause gaps, holes or weak areas in your print if it is smaller, or it can cause a nozzle jams if it is larger in diameter. Shoving too much plastic into the nozzle will result in melted plastic flowing upwards into the heat break. It will cool there and the extruder will have a harder and harder time feeding filament. This will result in a jam. Here is a picture of a 12 sided dome printed on a ROBO3D with a single extruder and with HATCHBOX ABS. The translucent band near the bottom is to allow leds to shine through and it was printed with Taulman T-Glase. I was happy with the way it came out.

This is great stuff, i'm sorry for the people who had difficulty with it; i;m not sure what they did. first of ABS is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, which is a copolymer. That is to say that its a blending of three different types of materials, acrylonitrile a poisonous liquid that provides a vinyl backbone of the filament. butadiene a compressed liquid used to solidify rubbers, styrene a monomer derivative of benzene used in many commercial plastics. So ABS ( acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a mixture of materials as such every manufactures recipe is going to be different its going to have qualities. For this one specifically i find if i lay it out at the standards 230 c with 105 c heated bed works well. the biggest problem i've had with this stuff is getting to to stick to the bed and stay stuck to the bed. there is an easy solution though take a chunk of the filament dissolve it in acetone and make a slurry, i use my left over trimmings as i trim the end every time i switch out of the left over brim or left over supports. place that on the bed and let it heat up and bake on to the bed. instant stick wont pull off doesn't warp, at least in my experience. i haven't had any clogging yet i have my printer set to 100mm print speed but everyone s printer is different in what their heat block can handle. i personally really like this stuff is it top of the line filament? No but then again i'm not paying 60 bucks a kilo, and you don't need to pay 60/kg for good filament. this stuff is cheap cost with with good results in my experience, if you willing to slow down and check your setting; it works well. an i mean this is mid range stuff good prints at reasonable prices. its great for the average joe if your the professional, your lively hood depends on it or you don't have the time to slow down and check print settings, ect..... then yeah i might look for a different filament;for me if a starter abs is what i'm looking for ,and abs is harder than pla, i wouldn't shy away from this. i'm quite satisfied with my purchase and plan to do it again

Switched from PLA to this, so far so good.

I switched from PLA to this ABS. So far so good. I had 1 bad print where the ABS did not stick to the plate and had warped. This was not a product issue, but more of a learning curve and my printer. I upped my temps to NOZ: 230C, and Plate: 90C. I pay attention for the first few layers to make sure I have no warping, after that it's good to go. So far the quality seems great. I print in a closed closet, so I am not too worried about temp drops or drafts.

Ive had Black and Silver ABS Hatchbox Filament. This black filament prints great, the silver not so much (i have a separate review for silver). Ive never had an issue printing with this filament and I've printed LOTS of things with it, I've nearly gone through the entire roll now, would definitely buy again. ROBO 3D R1 Printer settings: Extruder Temp: 220C Bed Temp: 80C

Very happy with the results from my prints

So I finally got around to using this for the first time, first time for any abs, and after a few printer adjustment in my settings, printed 4 great prints, mostly parts for my carbine. No issues with moisture stright out of the bag and parts are much stronger than pla. Will buy more and in different colors. Bonds well if I lay down a nice web, no clogs or bad smell. And smooths out well with Acetone.

Great product for the Makerbot Replicator 2X

My go to filament for my Makerbot Replicator 2X. Hardly jambs and flows nicely. Makes very nice and robust parts out of ABS which can be used for bushings with 100% infill for pedal boxes and shifters.

Works great for my machines

Love this abs filament. It prints great on all my machines, even a year after sitting out I'm still printing with very minimal bubbles. If you gave issues dont blame the filament blame your settings. Bed at least 80° with purple gluestick, nozzle 220 to 225°c and have a enclosed area for your printer.
