Here at rigid.ink, we understand how fun 3D printing and 3D pens can be with all the choices available.
This is why we have created our ABS Translucent Fun Pack, containing 5 translucent colours.
It is only available in 1.75mm so ensure your printer/pen can use 1.75mm filament.
You will receive 5 x 10m samples in 1.75mm.
You may receive two of the same colour as some colours are now out of stock.
You'll save £2 compared to buying the samples individually. Easier and cheaper - what could be better!?
It is also important to clean your nozzle regularly (often done between using different materials), we would suggest using FLOSS™ cleaning filament.

We do not hold Food Safety Certificates. Some of the raw materials used to produce our filaments are food safe accordingly to European regulations, but our filament in it's final form is not officially approved. Neither is the 3D printing process and all the components of 3D printers.

Being honest my first ABS print did not go down well at all but that is mainly to machine and temp issues, as always I know Rigid will be on hand if needed but i'm waiting for my new machine to arrive before I can seriously put it to the test.
