3D printing material Creality 3D 3301020041 ABS Grey 1 kg

Creality 3D 3301020041 ABS Grey is a 1 kg spool of ABS filament designed for fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. This grey ABS material offers a balance of strength, dimensional stability and machinability, suitable for printing functional parts, prototypes and enclosures. It is formulated to work well with Creality 3D printers and similar desktop FFF machines that support ABS filament.

Advantages

ABS filament provides higher impact resistance and better heat tolerance compared with many general-purpose filaments. The grey colour gives a neutral finish that is suitable for post-processing such as sanding, painting or vapor smoothing. As a 1 kg spool, it offers a practical amount for small to medium projects while maintaining consistent diameter and extrusion behavior for reliable layer adhesion and dimensional accuracy.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical parts
• Enclosures, housings and mounting brackets
• Post-processed models: sanding, painting, vapor smoothing
• Medium-sized prints requiring improved heat resistance

Key specifications

• Material type: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Colour: Grey
• Compatibility: Desktop FFF 3D printers compatible with ABS
• Typical mechanical properties: good impact resistance and stiffness (manufacturer data may vary)

How to use

Load the ABS filament onto the spool holder of a compatible FFF 3D printer and feed it into the extruder according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. Use recommended extrusion temperatures for ABS (typically in the range of 220–250°C) and a heated build plate (commonly 80–110°C) to reduce warping. Ensure good first-layer adhesion by leveling the bed and using adhesion aids such as a brim, raft or suitable build surface. Adjust print speed, cooling and retraction settings to match the geometry of the part and the printer's capabilities.

Recommendations

Store the filament in a dry, cool place and keep it sealed with desiccant when not in use to minimise moisture uptake. When printing larger parts, consider using an enclosed build chamber or additional adhesion methods to control warping. Test small calibration prints to fine-tune temperature and speed settings for optimal surface finish and mechanical performance.
