3D printer filament Fiberlogy ABS+ blue — PLA alternative high-strength ABS+

Fiberlogy ABS+ blue is a filament for FDM/FFF 3D printers that provides the mechanical performance of ABS+ in a ready-to-use spool format. Designed as a PLA alternative when higher strength, improved impact resistance and better post-processing behaviour are required, this blue ABS+ filament is suitable for printing functional prototypes, mechanical parts and components that will undergo sanding, painting or thermal treatment. The material requires a heated print bed and controlled printing conditions to minimise warping and ensure reliable layer adhesion.

Advantages

Fiberlogy ABS+ blue combines higher tensile and impact strength compared with standard PLA, while maintaining good machinability for sanding and finishing. The filament offers improved thermal resistance over PLA, making printed parts more suitable for applications exposed to higher temperatures. Its formulation reduces common ABS printing issues such as excessive shrinkage, and it is supplied on a standard spool for straightforward installation and feeding into most consumer and prosumer 3D printers.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and working models
• Mechanical components, brackets and housings
• Parts that require sanding, priming and painting
• Applications needing higher impact resistance and temperature tolerance than PLA
• Replacement parts and customised fixtures

Key specifications

• Material type: ABS+ engineering-grade filament formulated for FDM/FFF printing
• Colour: blue
• Form: filament on spool suitable for standard extruders
• Compatibility: designed for common FDM/FFF 3D printers with heated bed
• Post-processing: suitable for sanding, painting and smoothing techniques

How to use

Load the Fiberlogy ABS+ blue filament onto the printer spool holder and feed it into the extruder according to your printer's instructions. Set nozzle temperature and heated bed temperature according to your printer and part requirements (refer to filament manufacturer's recommended range if available). Use a heated bed and ensure good first-layer adhesion by using an appropriate build surface or adhesive aid. Print with moderate cooling or reduced fan settings to improve interlayer bonding and reduce the risk of delamination. Maintain ventilation in the printing area to manage fumes associated with ABS-based materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print on a heated bed with a stable ambient temperature, use a brim or raft for large flat parts to minimise warping, and apply standard post-processing workflows for sanding and painting. Adjust retraction and print speed settings if stringing or surface defects appear. Ensure adequate ventilation when printing indoors.
