Print strong, durable, and heat-resistant parts with Creality CR-ABS Black, an ABS filament designed for reliable everyday printing, good mechanical performance, and a clean, professional black finish.
Creality CR-ABS combines the strength, toughness, and heat resistance associated with ABS with reliable extrusion for functional 3D printing applications. It is suitable for mechanical components, engineering prototypes, brackets, enclosures, housings, and replacement parts that require greater durability and heat resistance than standard PLA.
The Black finish provides a sleek, understated appearance that works well for professional-looking components, electronic housings, workshop accessories, automotive-related parts, and functional assemblies.
Key Features
Material: CR-ABS
Colour: Black
Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
Net Weight: 1kg
Strong and durable
Good impact resistance
Higher heat resistance than standard PLA
Good mechanical strength
Suitable for functional and mechanical parts
Reliable extrusion for consistent print results
Suitable for engineering prototypes and replacement components
Clean black surface finish
Suitable for general-purpose ABS printing
Compatible with a wide range of 1.75mm FDM/FFF 3D printers
The mechanical properties of ABS make it a useful material for parts that need to withstand everyday handling, moderate heat, and mechanical stress. For best results, use appropriate printing temperatures, a suitable build surface, and stable ambient conditions.
Recommended Print Settings
Nozzle Temperature: 220–260°C
Heated Bed: 80–110°C
Cooling Fan: Low or off as a starting point; adjust according to the model
Printing Speed: Start at 30–60mm/s, adjusting to suit your printer and model
Enclosure: Recommended to help maintain a stable printing temperature and reduce warping
The exact temperature and speed required will depend on your printer model, nozzle size, layer height, cooling performance, extrusion flow, and model.
ABS can be more prone to warping and shrinkage than PLA, particularly when printing large or flat parts. Using a suitable build surface, maintaining a stable ambient temperature, and printing in an enclosure can help improve bed adhesion and reduce deformation.
Start with moderate printing speeds and adjust the temperature and cooling settings to achieve good layer adhesion, dimensional accuracy, and a consistent surface finish.
Ideal For
Creality CR-ABS Black is suitable for:
Functional parts
Mechanical components
Brackets and mounts
Jigs and fixtures
Engineering prototypes
Enclosures and housings
Tools and workshop accessories
Automotive-related components
Replacement parts
Industrial applications
Electronic housings
Household items
General-purpose parts
The black colour is particularly useful for functional and professional-looking parts where a discreet, neutral appearance is preferred. It is well suited to mechanical assemblies, equipment housings, workshop accessories, and components intended for everyday use.
Compatibility
Designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75mm filament and compatible with printers capable of printing ABS materials.
Suitable printers may include compatible models from Creality, Bambu Lab, Anycubic, FlashForge, and other manufacturers, provided the printer can reach the required printing temperatures and maintain suitable printing conditions.
An enclosed printer is recommended for improved temperature stability and reduced warping, particularly when printing larger parts. Actual print quality and achievable speeds will depend on your printer's hotend, extruder, nozzle size, cooling system, acceleration settings, model geometry, and required extrusion flow.
Storage
For optimal printing performance, keep the filament sealed in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
Moisture can affect extrusion consistency and surface quality. If the filament has absorbed moisture, drying it according to the manufacturer's recommendations may help restore reliable printing performance.
When printing ABS, ensure adequate ventilation and follow the printer and filament manufacturer's safety recommendations.
