What to expect from Polymaker ABS
ABS quality varies mostly in warp resistance and smell. Brand-name ABS (and ABS+ blends) warps less and off-gasses less than the cheapest spools, but every ABS needs a stable, warm chamber.
🔎 ABS fumes (styrene) genuinely need ventilation — print it enclosed and vented, not in a bedroom. The enclosure isn’t just for warp control; it’s a safety item.
