3D printer filament c-tech PREMIUM LINE ABS Signal Blue RAL5005 1.75 mm 1 kg

c-tech PREMIUM LINE ABS filament in Signal Blue (RAL5005) is a 1.75 mm, 1 kg spool designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers. Manufactured from ABS polymer, the filament delivers dimensional stability and mechanical strength appropriate for functional prototypes, housings, and moving parts. The filament is formulated for consistent extrusion, layer adhesion and reliable surface finish, and it is compatible with standard ABS print settings including the use of a heated bed and controlled cooling.

Advantages

The filament offers a balance of strength and toughness with good impact resistance and heat tolerance relative to general-purpose thermoplastics. Its Signal Blue color conforms to an identifiable RAL tone for repeatable color matching in multi-part assemblies. The 1.75 mm diameter is produced with manufacturing tolerances to reduce filament jams and ensure steady flow through common hotends. The material accepts common post-processing techniques such as sanding, smoothing and painting to achieve refined surfaces and tailored finishes.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and proof-of-concept parts
• Enclosures, housings and mounting brackets
• Mechanical components and moving assemblies
• Parts intended for sanding, painting or other post-processing

Key specifications

• Material: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Color: Signal Blue (RAL5005)
• Compatibility: FDM/FFF 3D printers with 1.75 mm filament support
• Recommended printing requirements: heated bed and enclosed or well-ventilated printing area

How to use

Load the filament into a compatible 1.75 mm extruder and follow your printer manufacturer’s guidance for ABS. Preheat the hotend and heated bed to recommended temperatures for ABS; typical starting points are a hotend temperature around 230–250 °C and a bed temperature around 90–110 °C, but final values should be determined by printer and part geometry. Use a brim or raft to improve bed adhesion if needed and moderate cooling or an enclosure to reduce warping. After printing, allow parts to cool slowly to room temperature before removing from the bed to preserve dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Ensure adequate ventilation when printing ABS to manage fumes. Store the filament in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption. Test print small calibration parts to fine-tune temperature and flow settings for your specific printer and desired surface quality.
