Printing this material
- Abrasive — Contains fibre, mineral or metal filler that wears brass nozzles quickly. A hardened or ruby nozzle lasts; a stock brass one may not survive a spool.
- Enclosure recommended — Shrinks enough while cooling that draughts cause warping and split layers. An enclosure, or simply a still room, makes the difference.
True of ABS generally. Follow Atomic Filament’s own guidance for this spool.
A surprisingly dark gray, this is one of the few swatches I have where I think the name perfectly matches the color. It would probably work very well with Paramount 3D's Cartridge Gray as an accent color! This swatch was donated by Justin Voelker.
