PolyLite™ ABS: Low-Odor, Heat Resistant, and High Performance
Advanced ABS Resin for Better Printing
PolyLite™ ABS is formulated with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin, featuring significantly lower volatile content than traditional ABS. This results in a cleaner, safer printing experience with minimal odor, making it more pleasant to use in any workspace.
Excellent Heat Resistance and Mechanical Strength
This filament is engineered for projects that demand both robust mechanical properties and reliable heat resistance. PolyLite™ ABS maintains its strength and shape even in challenging environments, making it suitable for functional parts, enclosures, and prototypes.
Smooth Printing with Enclosed Printers
For optimal results, print PolyLite™ ABS on an enclosed 3D printer. This helps ensure consistent temperature control and minimizes warping, allowing you to produce stunning, high-quality parts with ease.
Ideal for Functional and Heat-Resistant Parts
Choose PolyLite™ ABS for any project where you need excellent mechanical performance, heat resistance, and a low-odor printing experience.

Which 3D printer can print PolyLite™ ABS?
Depending on the size of the models you are trying to print, PolyLite™ ABS can required enclosed 3D printer, or even actively heated chamber.
In general a non-enclosed 3D printer with 90˚C bed temperature and 260˚C printing temperature can handle models smaller than fist size. For bigger prints you will required an enclosed 3D printer (~40-50˚C), for models bigger than ~15-20cm in any direction, it will require an actively heated chamber (~70˚C+).
Using proper bed adhesion can also help printing larger parts without deformation/warping issue.
We can recommend Magigoo or BuildTak as adhesive and bed surface options.
Can PolyLite™ ABS be post-processed with Acetone?
Yes, PolyLite™ ABS can be smoothed with acetone.
WARNING: Acetone is a dangerous chemical, please handle it with the necessary safety precautions.
We recommend PolySmooth™ as a safer alternative to create smooth surface models.
Will the spools work in an AMS?
Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.
Is this material food safe?
Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.
Do you sell refills?
We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time
Printing Requirements
- Enclosure that can trap ambient air and keep it hot
- All-metal hotend that can reach 250C+ is recommended though not needed.
And that's all! You can use Magigoo Original to help with build plate adhesion
If using a stock, older style printer - we would recommend printing slower.

Nothing but success with the ABS. Using for Cosplay and works very well...!!!
The most reliable and best printing ABS I’ve found. It's the only filament I use for the products I sell.
Using it now as I’m writing this. Working great no flaws that I can see.
This filament is great, I use it all the time. Also, their customer service is one of the best if I ever have any issues which is rare. Shipping is fast and communication online you can’t beat. Thanks.
I need a lot of ABS for a lots of project! the Polymaker ABS is one of the best choice!
My favorite ABS filament, always a smooth print process with no fuss
Filament printed great, i was printing it on an x1c and a p1s, the polymaker profiles just work, its great.
Ive allready printed 800g of the roll within a week of starting it! which shows just how much i like it.
So far ive seen no cracking and some warping, however it is ABS, unless you add cf or gf its allways going to be prone to warping.
Something interesting i spotted was that putting in heat inserts, compared to overture and especially esun, they took longer to go in, and were less likely to crack if you pushed too hard.
Maybe thats due to additives or a lack of? Im not sure, but im not complaining, potentially higher temp resistance could be cool.
The main downside of it, is that its quite pricey. At £26 a kilo its REALLLY pricey. My normal ABS (overture ABS) prints about as well and costs 35% less .
In summary:
-prints well
-havent seen cracking on any parts
-have seen warping but could be my fault
-like all polymaker filaments I've tried so far the profiles are bang on
-better temp resistance?
-its really expensive, i dont believe at full price it provides great value at all
I just put in the ams and hit print. The prints come out as they should amazing. Took it out of the package and put it in a dryer to see if it anymore moisture needed to come out. Nope it was already at 13%, so no need to go into a dryer right out of thw bag. Great product and will be buying more in the future.
Great stuff!
Dry and throughly clean your built plate before using and let cooling happen after if you plan to swap materials
I bought the dark purple for prototyping because it had a bigger discount than the other colors of ABS. Turns out that I really like the color and will probably order another roll. It looks good contrasted with stainless steel hardware. I used to be a fan of cheap off-brand ABS, but got tired of re-calibrating for every new mystery roll. The color and tolerances of the polymaker ABS is more consistent and it shows.
This filament is great. I was hesitant to print with it because I had heard it could be tricky and I have less-than-great experiences with PETG and TPU to a lesser extent. But no, it prints easily and about as fast as PLA at least in my printer (Qidi Q1 Pro). The color and surface finish look beautiful, and the prints just FEEL really sturdy in the hand.I admittedly haven't used any other brand of ABS filament, but I'll go ahead and believe that the smell is minimal compared to others. That being said: the fumes are still there even if there's no chemical odors. Don't be like me and try to print this stuff indoors especially if you have asthma or other respiratory condition like I do. But since that's a quirk of ABS printing in general I won't hold it against this product and it won't affect the rating.
purple abs what can i say i love it i just wish polymaker would come out with the "pop" colors like on asa other then that prints amazing270c n100c b55c chamber300mms real print speed
Polymaker has the best filaments. They always deliver dry, high tolerance, quality filaments for any of my projects. This one was for an Oscar statue with a school mascot head on it. Once I worked through a couple test prints for ABS and dialed in my slicer settings I got excellent results. I had to slow down my prints and increase the temperature to 280c at the nozzle but I got good results on my Creality K1 Max.
Built my Voron 2.4 with Polymaker ABS. Awesome filament, and now my go-to ABS. Highly recommend!
I got this for two projects where I needed some extra strength. My first small test prints were nearly perfect, without the stringing of PETG or PLA, but I still had some lessons to learn.This ABS has much less adhesion to the print bed than the PLA and PETG I used before. This caused my first larger object to lift at one end, hitting the print head and creating an unacceptable "washboard" effect. The fix wasn't hard. I used the stick adhesive which came with my printer (other people use hairspray). That was enough to keep things stable.Note also that the ideal temperature for ABS is higher. I'm using 90 C for the bed and 255 C for the print head, but testing for your application is always a good idea.The first photo shows my real reason for buying ABS. It is a handlebar to add more comfortable hand positions on an indoor trainer. It clamps to the bike's original bar at two points, using steel bolts through the ABS shapes. Hex insets for the nuts worked nicely. This is the center part of the bar, to which I added "cowhorns" printed separately. I made D.I.Y white ABS cement from a recipe online and it worked great. I would not consider it responsible to ride a home-printed ABS bar on a road or trail, but for a trainer it seems more than strong enough. I should spray it with a UV-resistant coating since it does see some sun exposure through a window.If you look carefully you can see that one of the tall thin supports failed, but you can blame me or the Cura slicing software for that. Probably no material would have built that correctly. There was no harm to the final object.The other photo shows one of the test objects you can find online. It was printed with no supports and the "bridges" came out nicely with no stringing. I have not cleaned up this print. You can see that the underside of the large overhang is quite rough beyond 50 degrees, but the overall shape is right.
Ill buy more, but the green works perfect on my Dimension SST 1200es commercial printer at 300c!!!. This seller is my new source for 3d filament and I'm saving a thousands. I'm glad I found this. I have a pile of other filaments I purchased to test from other vendors, anybody want them? p.s It even fits perfectly inside the cartridge!
This ABC filament is has nice quality printing and can print on high speed!
Great product (ESPECIALLY that it comes on cardboard spool so no plastic spool to be dealt with after so more environmentally friendly) but definitely need an enclosure cause it likes to come up off the build plate &warp even when in an enclosure &purple glue stick on print surface. But it does holds up well once it prints &looks great when printed properly. I'll definitely be buying more &would recommend it to others
This stuff prints awesome! Blue PLA test print on the right, ABS on the left. Identical print gcode, just changed heat settings. Both prints are 2 layer wall with no infill. Bought it for an rc plane I'm making and it's working awesome, as expected the ABS is about 30% lighter than the pla and quite a bit stronger and apples to apples I honestly feel like the ABS is printing better! Printing right on glass, no special bed adhesion, just a skirt to clear out the nozzle. .4 nozzle, .2 layer height, 250mm/s 90c bed 270c nozzle. No fan, in an enclosure but prints fine without one too. 270 seems to be the magic number for layer adhesion. Already bought more, there will be much more to come.
