3D printer filament POLYMAKER ABS Galaxy 1.75 mm Dark Grey 1 kg

POLYMAKER ABS Galaxy 1.75 mm Dark Grey is a 1 kg spool of ABS filament formulated for fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM) 3D printers that accept 1.75 mm feedstock. The filament is intended for printing functional parts, prototypes and models where improved impact resistance and dimensional stability are required. The Dark Grey colour provides a neutral finish that is suitable for post-processing, sanding and painting. This ABS variant is compatible with commonly used print settings for ABS and is aimed at users who need consistent extrusion and reliable layer adhesion for durable prints.

Advantages

ABS Galaxy offers dependable extrusion stability and good interlayer adhesion that help reduce warping and improve the success rate of larger or mechanically loaded prints. The material provides impact resistance and dimensional stability suitable for functional testing and end-use components. Its Dark Grey colour masks minor surface imperfections and is amenable to standard post-processing techniques such as sanding and painting.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical parts requiring impact resistance
• Models and jigs used in manufacturing and assembly
• Parts that will be sanded, painted or otherwise post-processed
• Applications where dimensional stability under moderate thermal stress is important

Key specifications

• Material type: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Net weight: 1 kg spool
• Colour: Dark Grey
• Manufacturing process compatibility: Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FFF/FDM 3D printer following the printer manufacturer's filament loading procedure. Recommended print settings for ABS typically include a heated bed and an enclosed or draft-free build chamber to reduce warping; adjust nozzle and bed temperatures according to your printer and part geometry. Print adhesion aids such as brim, raft or suitable build surface treatment can be used for larger parts. After printing, allow parts to cool gradually before removal and perform standard post-processing steps such as sanding or painting if required.

Usage recommendations

Store the ABS Galaxy filament in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to minimize moisture absorption, which can affect print quality. When switching from other materials, purge the hot end to avoid contamination. Test and fine-tune temperature and cooling settings on small test prints to determine optimal parameters for your specific printer and part geometry.
