Plexiwire ABS+ is a modified version of the popular ABS filament. The main problem of ABS is its “capriciousness” and exactingness in the absence of drafts and heating of the table. Therefore, products made from this material are often deformed - this is just one of the properties of printing with an unmodified filament.
To reduce the negative effects of conventional ABS printing, ABS+ filament has been improved in adhesion and shrinkage ratio to minimize distortion. Therefore, you can safely print even large objects with a size of 0.5x0.5x0.5 meters with this material, and do this in open printers.
While maintaining the strength of classic ABS, we have increased the wear resistance and reduced the brittleness of ABS+, so it is well suited for parts that are constantly under load or used in moving mechanisms.

Application
Like standard ABS, ABS+ filament can be used for the production of any cases and casings, both household appliances and medical or auto parts. Pipes and fittings, musical instruments, sports equipment, garden equipment, children's toys are also produced from it. In general, it is better to use ABS+ for solving engineering problems where the material must withstand dynamic loads.
Recommendations for use
Due to its properties, ABS+ can be used at higher print speeds than regular ABS. It also allows you to print models with larger size and volume. In this case, open printers can be used, because the material has excellent adhesion. You can also refuse to use the substrate. In addition, we recommend increasing the retraction (filament rollback) - this will help to obtain better print results. Compared to ABS, the material also has a higher melting point. However, in post-processing, both filaments are completely similar.
