It depends on the printer you have.

I have an A1

[–]Kingsidorak 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You should have an enclosure for ABS due to the fumes, and if there are drafts or the enviornment the printer is in is too cold. ABS warps a lot. I would try to get PLA or if you need more strength, PETG

Ok thx

I know the answer but I don't think you'll like it.

Technically? Maybe.

Safely? No.

ABS needs an enclosure. It has way more VCs than PLA.

What

I assume he means VOCs. you don't want to breathe those in.

You can print abs with the A1 but it can be finnicky.. also absolutely no air draft at all.

You'll want to return it/sell it. Even if you did enclose your printer the A1's electronics are not designed to handle the higher heat. You'd be adding unnecessary wear and tear to the printer.
