In this video, I test 8 different black ABS filaments using the same methodology to find out which ABS really performs the best.
This is by far my biggest and most detailed filament test so far. For this project, I designed and built several new test setups and test equipment specifically for this video, just to be able to measure properties that are rarely shown in ABS comparisons.
All filaments were printed in black to eliminate color influence and to keep the comparison as fair as possible. The video covers not only strength, but also surface finish, shrinkage, impact resistance, creep, temperature resistance, and long-term behavior under load.
Tested ABS filaments:
- AzureFilm ABS Prime
- BambuLab ABS
- eSun ABS+
- FlashForge ABS
- FormFutura TitanX
- Polymaker PolyLite ABS
- Sunlu ABS
- YXPolyer ABS
