Although we all love to create fun and silly prints from time to time, from slinky-worm keychains to decorative memorabilia from classic movies and shows, but as Makers, we can’t help but feel that it’s the functional side of 3D Printing that really makes it all worthwhile. This is because, while standard prints are enjoyable and are certainly great gifts for friends who don’t have their own 3D Printers, functional prints require a solid blend of both logic and creativity, often presenting a nice new challenge that you, as a Maker with a 3D Printer, can overcome. This is why we feel it’s important to be constantly expanding our 3D Filaments Collection, so that we can offer polymers for both fun and functional prints, with Fillamentum Extrafill ABS Filament being one of the most exciting additions to date.
Fillamentum Extrafill ABS is not necessarily unique, and fits the same kinds of standards that many other ABS Filaments adhere to. However, where Fillamentum ABS differs is in the fact that it’s absolutely perfectly consistency from spool to spool, over thousands of different batches. This, in addition to the awesome, vibrant colours that really make Fillamentum Filament stand out compared to most, makes it a great polymer to work with, not only offering the high strength of ABS, but also some exciting aesthetics and reliable, repeatable results every time.
Fillamentum Traffic Black ABS Filament has a slightly odd name, but this is because it has been polymerised to precisely match the specific Traffic Black colour in the RAL Colour Standards. It is essentially a dark grey which is quite reminiscent of a tarmac, and is actually a far more common colour than many people would believe. This colour, alongside the matte finish of ABS filament, makes it an awesome choice to emphasise on accents and other details in complex prints, while simultaneously being a great option for subtle prints that blend into a wide range of different environments from the living room to the kitchen. These cool features make Fillamentum Traffic Black ABS a great filament to keep on hand, lending itself well to prints of all shapes and sizes, and offering a distinct colour that is consistent and quite elegant in the right setting.
Of course, with a core focus on ensuring precision consistency in ever spool produced, Fillamentum has rightfully garnered a position as one of the top suppliers of 3D Filaments throughout the world. From their vibrant range of Fillamentum PLA to the more exotic styles like the Fillamentum Timberfill Range, this amazing brand is not only passionate about quality, but is actually capable of delivering on this promise each and every time, without fail. This is why, regardless of what Fillamentum Polymers you’re choosing for your next project, you can expect excellent results with each and every one.
If you’re looking for a great, functional polymer to use for all kinds of projects, from electronics enclosures to little toys for younger family members, Fillamentum ABS Filament offers some of the best features around, enhanced with consistency that you can truly rely on.

As many experienced 3D Makers will know, ABS Filament is often regarded as the “higher-grade” filament when compared to PLA, as it is substantially stronger and more durable than PLA, but can also be quite a lot more difficult to print with. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s impossible to print with, and once you’ve got your settings dialled in just right, it can be just as easy as any other filament. It simply requires more practice and patience to get right, and of course because of the higher temperatures required, it’s often recommended to get an enclosure of some kind to prevent the plastic from cooling too rapidly.
With this in mind, and to make your life as a 3D Maker a lot easier than if you were just going in blind, we’ve taken all of our knowledge and experience with this polymer and refined it down to three simple tips, which should help you get off to a running start, or at least assist in getting your settings sorted, from which point you can perfect your settings according to your particular setup:
Fortunately, although ABS is more difficult to print with than many other options, with the above three tips, you already have a great place to start from, and of course you should never be scared to do further research too. Additionally, consider getting involved in discussions and asking questions in online communities. You may be surprised at just how helpful and friendly the SA 3D Maker community can be, and there are always great people eager to help others, often just waiting for an opportunity to do so.
After being so involved in the industry of 3D Printing for many years now, we have to admit that we are still constantly learning, and that’s certainly not a bad thing at all, as it also allows us to constantly improve our skills and knowledge. This is why we will always recommend doing further research, forming your own opinions, and sharing opinions with others so as to learn from each other and grow the global knowledge that is shared on a multitude of different forums and online communities. And with this in mind, we’d like to share some of the best and most valuable resources that we’ve found so far, which are all meant to help you improve your 3D Printing skills, with a particular focus on 3D Printing with ABS Filaments:

Starting in as early as 2013, but with roots that go even further than that, Fillamentum is a brand that actually began working in the automotive industry, before moving into the packaging industry, and then eventually arriving in (and specialising in) 3D printing, where they found their true passion. And as a company that has always placed a high priority on following innovation, they took to 3D printing like a fish to water, and since 2013, have been consistently introducing fresh new innovations to the industry in the form of new types of polymers, refinements to classic polymers, as well as hybrid polymers that blend in materials like wood for distinctively unique effects.
What we really love about Fillamentum and their awesome 3D filaments range, is that they offer true consistency even between hundreds or thousands of batches. In fact, they actually match many of their colours to specifically defined Pantones and RAL colours, which are universal colour standards that artists, designers and many other professionals commonly use for precision colour coordination. This of course is complemented by their consistent quality, with an impressive (and tested) 0.05mm tolerance throughout each spool, as well as consistent results from various colours across multiple batches during our own testing phases.
As a brand that clearly demonstrates its passion for 3D printing through it’s beautiful 3D filaments, we’ve been exceptionally impressed with Fillamentum, and we certainly won’t be too surprised if Fillamentum becomes your new favourite 3D filament for all occasions.
