Filament for 3D printing VERBATIM 55002 — ABS Blue, 1 kg, 1.75 mm

VERBATIM 55002 — ABS Blue, 1 kg, 1.75 mm is a spool of ABS 3D printing filament designed for printers that accept 1.75 mm diameter material. The filament is produced from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a copolymer combining styrene, acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is supplied on a 1 kg spool, vacuum-sealed with a desiccant to preserve dryness during storage and transport, and is manufactured in Japan. The blue color provides a consistent, opaque finish suitable for prototyping, functional parts and hobby models where toughness and heat resistance are required.

Advantages

ABS offers high impact resistance and toughness compared with many general-purpose filaments, making it suitable for parts that must withstand mechanical stress. The material’s heat resistance enables applications where elevated temperatures occur; when printed correctly on a heated build surface, the filament yields stable dimensions and good inter-layer adhesion. The product is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers that accept 1.75 mm filament and arrives vacuum-packed with desiccant to reduce moisture-related print issues.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical parts requiring strength and toughness
• Housings, brackets and fixtures exposed to moderate heat
• Hobby models, jigs and tooling where durability is important
• General-purpose prints on printers with 1.75 mm filament compatibility

How to use

Unload any previously used filament and load the VERBATIM 1.75 mm ABS onto a compatible extruder following your printer manufacturer’s instructions. Preheat the hotend to a temperature appropriate for ABS and set the heated build platform to between 80 and 120 °C to reduce warping and improve adhesion. Adjust print speed, retraction and cooling settings according to your printer and model complexity; minimal part cooling typically improves layer bonding for ABS. Allow printed parts to cool gradually on the build plate or use an enclosure to maintain ambient temperature during cooling.

Usage recommendations

Store the vacuum-sealed spool with desiccant in a dry place and reseal or use a dry box after opening to prevent moisture uptake. Use a heated build platform and consider an enclosed print chamber for larger or precision parts to reduce warping and improve dimensional stability. Test small calibration prints to set optimal nozzle temperature and retraction values for your specific machine.
