TierTime UP Fila ABS+

About

TierTime UP Fila ABS+ | The High-Strength Engineering Standard Why standard ABS isn't always enough Functional prototyping usually hits a wall when parts need to survive real-world mechanical stress. That’s where TierTime UP Fila ABS+ comes in. By reinforcing a high-grade ABS base with Polycarbonate (PC), TierTime has created a filament that bridges the gap between 'look-alike' models and end-use industrial components. At the 3D Printer Superstore , we’ve seen this material solve the two biggest headaches in professional printing: warping on large-format builds and brittle layer lines. If you are running an UP300 or UP600 , this is your go-to for parts that actually need to work. Spec UP Fila ABS+ (The Pro Choice) Standard ABS (Generic) Composition PC-Enhanced ABS Blend Standard Acrylonitrile Real-World Benefit Zero-warp on large surface areas Prone to lifting/cracking Max Service Temp Stable up to 105°C Softens at 85°C Nozzle Temp 260°C - 270°C 230°C - 240°C Surface Professional Matte Often overly glossy What sets ABS+ apart in the workshop? Exceptional Dimensional Stability: Large prints stay flat. The PC-blend significantly reduces the natural shrinkage rate of the plastic as it cools, meaning your 200mm parts actually measure 200mm. Tougher Interlayer Bonding: Most ABS parts fail because the layers pull apart under tension. The higher extrusion temperature of ABS+ ensures the layers fuse into a nearly isotropic solid. Matte Finish for Pros: It prints with a refined, low-sheen finish that hides layer lines and looks like an injection-moulded part right off the bed. Tiertime Ecosystem Optimisation: While it works on most high-temp machines, it is factory-tuned for the UP series' "Smart Support" logic—meaning supports snap off by hand without scarring the model. Does ABS+ require an enclosed printer? It Ceertainly Helps- especially for large prints! To get the strength benefits of the Polycarbonate blend, you need to maintain a stable ambient temperature.
