Black is the roll most South African workshops go through fastest, and SA Filament’s ABS Premium is made here rather than shipped in, which keeps lead times short when you run out mid-job. It is a straightforward, tough ABS for parts that live a hard life: brackets, mounts, housings and anything that has to take a knock without cracking. The dark pigment disguises layer lines, so a part printed for function still looks tidy enough to hand over to a customer. Spools arrive sealed against moisture, which matters in a material that prints poorly once it has taken up damp.

Before you print
