Description
Eolas Prints ABS pellets are 100% virgin, dye-free acrylonitrile butadiene styrene in granule form for pellet-fed 3D printers. ABS is the established engineering thermoplastic for applications requiring heat resistance, structural rigidity, and impact toughness beyond what PLA or PETG can deliver. With a VICAT softening point of 106°C and a heat deflection temperature of 83°C, these pellets are appropriate for under-bonnet automotive components, electrical housings, industrial tooling jigs, and functional parts that see elevated temperatures in service. ABS is also acetone-smoothable — making it one of the few common 3D printing polymers with a practical solvent post-processing route.
Key Specifications

| Print temperature | 230–250°C (printer-dependent) |
| Bed temperature | 90–110°C |
| Enclosure | Strongly recommended — reduces warping and delamination |
| Available sizes | 500 g / 1 kg — bulk big bags available on request |
Heat Resistance — What 106°C VICAT Means in Practice
The VICAT softening point is the temperature at which a flat-ended needle penetrates the material by 1mm under a defined load — it is the practical upper limit for sustained thermal exposure. At 106°C VICAT (vs approximately 60°C for PLA and 80°C for PETG), ABS holds its geometry in environments that would deform both. Common use cases that require this thermal headroom include under-bonnet automotive brackets and clips, printed jigs and fixtures near heat sources, electrical enclosures housing components that generate heat, and any part that will be painted with heat-cure coatings.
Acetone Smoothing
ABS dissolves in acetone. This makes it the standard choice when a smooth, injection-moulded-like surface finish is required without mechanical sanding. Parts can be vapour-smoothed in an acetone chamber or brush-smoothed with liquid acetone to fuse layer lines and produce a uniform finish. ABS is also bondable with acetone-based ABS cement, enabling reliable part assembly.
Processing Requirements
ABS requires a heated enclosure for reliable printing — without one, the temperature differential between the hot first layers and cooler ambient air causes the material to contract unevenly, producing warping and layer delamination on larger prints. A 90–110°C heated bed and enclosed chamber (at least 40–50°C) are the baseline requirements. ABS also produces styrene fumes during printing — adequate ventilation or active filtration is required for all enclosed spaces.

Sourcing & Quality
These ABS pellets are produced by a specialist manufacturer certified to ISO standards, and shipped from Eolas Prints' stock in Cantabria, Spain. A REACH statement is available on request. Available from 500 g and 1 kg up to bulk big bags for production-scale printing.
Shipping policy
When do you ship?
We ship Monday to Friday from our warehouse in Cantabria, Spain. In-stock orders placed before the cut-off time ship the same business day. Orders placed after the cut-off, or at the weekend, ship on the next business day.
| Spain & Portugal | Orders placed before 4PM CET ship the same day. |
| Rest of the world | Orders placed before 1PM CET ship the same day. |
Products with a lead time shown on their product page ship as soon as they are available, within the lead time shown.
How do you ship?
Parcels — we ship with GLS within mainland Spain & Portugal and with UPS to the rest of the world. Shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address, the weight of your order and live carrier rates, so you see the exact price and delivery options before you pay.
Pallet freight — large and heavy machines, such as CO₂ laser cutters and industrial or large-format printers, ship on a pallet by road or, to islands and overseas destinations, by sea. Orders over 40 kg to mainland Spain & Portugal also ship by pallet. The pallet rate for your destination is shown at checkout, and orders over 150 kg ship on two pallets.
Free shipping
Free standard shipping on filament, pellets and accessories:
- Mainland Spain & Portugal: orders over €100 (GLS)
- Other EU countries: orders over €150 (UPS Standard), excluding Malta and Cyprus
Free shipping does not apply to 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser machines or other equipment, or to the Balearic and Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, the Azores and Madeira.

Pallet deliveries
- The carrier will contact you to arrange a delivery day, so please give a phone number that will be answered.
- Delivery is to your address at ground level. The pallet is not carried inside or unpacked, so please make sure you can unload it — with a forklift, a pallet truck or enough people. Machines can weigh 70 - 250 kg.
- If your address has restricted access (no truck access, a narrow street, no loading area) or you need a tail-lift, please contact us before ordering.
- Check the pallet before signing. Note any visible damage on the delivery note and send us photos within 24 hours.
- If a delivery fails because no one is available or the address cannot be accessed, redelivery and storage may be charged.
How about taxes & duties?
EU, including mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands: VAT is included in the price you pay at checkout. Nothing further is due on delivery.
Outside the EU VAT area, including the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla: all orders ship on DAP (Delivered at Place) terms. We pay for export clearance and transport to your address. Import duties, import taxes (such as VAT, IGIC or IPSI) and customs clearance fees are not included and are paid by the recipient.
- Parcels: UPS will contact you to arrange payment of any duties and taxes before delivery.
- Pallets: the carrier's agent or a customs broker at destination will contact you. You are responsible for import clearance.
If a shipment is refused or not cleared through customs, the return freight and any costs incurred will be deducted from any refund.
Countries we do not ship to
Due to EU sanctions, we do not ship to Russia or Belarus.
