Hi Guys!

Recently my friends at AMZ3D sent me a roll of Red ABS to try out.  I have never printed with ABS, but they were really wanting me to try it out.  So I told them I would.

Going into this, I honestly didn't think that it would work.  I really wanted to use the Geeetech D200 to do this test, but since it was down I decided to go with the Geeetech MeCreator2 because it could reach the temperature I wanted and it has a sheet of BuildTak wich would give it the best chance of printing.

It took 3 tries.  The first time it was directly on BuildTak, the second was BuildTak with Elmers Glue Stick, the third was BuildTak, Elmers Glue Stick and a 8mm brim.  I don't know if it really needed the glue, but it worked great!!!

Anyway I will be playing with it in the future to try to print a few more thing in ABS. 

During printing I never noticed any fumes or unpleasant odors from using this ABS, so I don't know if AMZ3D just has a better formulation of it or if ABS just doesn't smell like I have heard from other people.  Either way, I will not have a problem using it when it comes to smell.  

As far as printability, granted I did not have a enclosed chamber but I am happy with what I have seen during this print to keep printing with it.

Special thanks to AMZ3D for the free roll of ABS to try out. 

Thank you very much for watching!!!
