Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of ABS filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm ABS filament (density 1.04 g/cm³) contains approximately 399.76 meters (~1312 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 150.73 meters.
What is the density of ABS 3D printer filament?
ABS has an average density of 1.04 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining ABS on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for ABS?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 230-260 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 90-110 °C.
