ABS Filament
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic filament is a polymer used in 3D printing because it can be molded and engineered. It falls under a family of other plastics known as thermoplastics. These plastics have the ability to become soft and moldable when heated at high temperatures and returning to it's normal solid state when at cooler temperatures, making it an ideal 3D printing filament.
ABS filament is a favorite for 3D printing because it is light weight and durable. It can be injection molded which makes it perfect for 3D printing extruders. It has a high glass transition temperature to reduce deformation but low enough to be safely attainable with 3D printers. ABS filament needs to be printed on a heated bed because the filament will curl upwards of the surface. The heated build platform as well as a smooth flat surface helps reduce the deformation.
ABS filament is a hard strong plastic with some flexibility when compared to PLA filament. It is also soluble in acetone, and it can be easily sanded and machined. It has ideal strength, machinability, and temperature resistance making it a favorite filament among 3D printer users.
PLA Filament
PLA, Polylactic Acid, is created from processing a number of plant products. PLA can be composted at commercial facilities unlike ABS which is derived from fossil fuels. PLA is a more earth friendly plastic. It is stronger and more rigid than ABS, and in general the printed objects will have a more glossy look and feel compared to ABS. PLA can be sanded and machined and also has a lower melting temperature compared to ABS. As a plastic material, PLA has much less warping versus ABS. PLA generally enjoys sharper details and corners compared to ABS without the risk of cracking or warping. PLA can also be printed at higher throughput speeds.

ABS Filament Colors Types and Sizes
We have 22 normal colors of ABS filament and an additional 11 specialty colors. For PLA we have 30 normal colors and 10 specialty colors. All color variants are availble in two sizes.
1.75mm
3mm (2.85mm)
The different specialty colors can be categorized into the 4 following types.
Conductive ABS Filament
Right now there is one color for conductive ABS filament, which is black. The filament can be used for anti-static, dissipative, or the conduction of electric current.
Glow in the Dark Filament
As the name implies, the glow in the dark ABS and PLA filament will shine in the dark. Please allow the filament or print to retain light or charge in regular light first. Currently, we have one color for glow in the dark, which is green. We experimented with glow in the dark blue, but the blue version did not glow brightly.
Black Light Reactive Fluorescent Filament
The fluorescent filament colors will glow under UV light, which is also known as black light. We have five fluorescent colors, which are fluorescent orange, fluorescent green, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent blue, and fluorescent hot pink.
Heat Activated Color Change Filament
This type of ABS and PLA filament (hyper color) will change colors depending on the temperature of the filament. The filaments change color at approximately 31 C (88 F). Below 31 C the filaments are one color; above 31 C the filaments are a different color. Therefore, this type of filament is heat activated. The easiest way to visualize this change is to simply blow a hair dryer on the filament. We currently have three variants of this type of ABS filament, which are green to yellow, gray to white, and purple to pink. Please see the below video for illustration of the color changing effect.
Please store any unused filament in a cool dry place. Plastic filament such as ABS or PLA, if exposed to moisture, will bubble and spurt from the extruding nozzle. ABS or PLA filaments can be dried prior to use to remove the moisture in the filament.
