Description
Polymaker Polylite ABS is formulated with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin, which results in significantly lower volatile content compared to traditional ABS resins. This leads to a more pleasant printing experience with reduced odor and improved interlayer adhesion.
It is a staple material for engineers and hobbyists alike when creating parts that must withstand temperatures up to 90°C or require post-processing techniques like acetone vapor smoothing for a glass-like finish. Its excellent mechanical strength makes it the "go-to" for automotive interior components, electronics housings, and moving mechanical parts.
Features
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.
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.

Safety Precautions
-
Always print in a well-ventilated area.
-
Avoid breathing the fumes while printing.
-
Do not touch the nozzle, heated bed, or printed object right after printing — let it cool down first before handling.
-
Keep the printer and filament away from children and pets.
-
Unplug the printer when not in use.
-
Store the filament in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture.
-
Wear gloves and a mask when sanding, cutting, or handling printed parts.
-
Keep away from open flames — most filaments are flammable.
