Filament 3Dsimo ABS Transparent green, purple & yellow – 3Dsimo ABS Transparent

3Dsimo ABS Transparent is a transparent ABS filament available in green, purple and yellow tones. Manufactured for extrusion-based 3D printers, this material delivers the characteristic mechanical properties of ABS: dimensional stability, impact resistance and suitability for common post-processing operations such as sanding and painting. Its translucent colours allow light transmission and colored effects while maintaining material strength required for functional prototypes and end-use parts.

Advantages

Transparent ABS combines rigidity with toughness, offering a balance between stiffness and impact resistance. The translucent green, purple and yellow variants provide aesthetic options for semi-transparent parts and layered effects without compromising processability. The filament is compatible with standard ABS printing settings and accepts common post-processing treatments including smoothing, sanding and painting for improved surface finish.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes requiring strength and impact resistance
• Transparent or translucent housings and covers
• Colored see-through details and decorative elements
• Parts requiring sanding, painting or thermal smoothing

Key specifications

• Material: ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) with transparent colourants
• Available colours: transparent green, transparent purple, transparent yellow
• Form: filament for fused extrusion 3D printers
• Typical properties: rigidity, impact resistance, good machinability for sanding and painting

How to use

Load the filament into an extrusion-based 3D printer configured for ABS. Use recommended ABS print temperatures for your printer and hotend, and employ a heated bed to reduce warping. Adjust print cooling and first-layer settings to ensure adhesion; enable enclosure or elevated bed temperature for larger parts if available. After printing, treat surfaces with sanding, solvent smoothing or priming and painting as required for the intended finish.

Usage recommendations

To achieve best results with transparent colours, print with optimized layer height and slower print speeds to reduce visual layer lines. Use an enclosed printing environment and heated build plate to minimise shrinkage and warping. Test adhesion and temperature settings on small samples before printing large or detailed parts, and perform post-processing in a well-ventilated area.
