Topic: From Granules to Filaments

Hi guys, I am very new to filament extrusion and have a Noztek Pro filament extruder to play around with.

I am not a plastic specialist but its mainly concerned with the processing/extrusion of polymers to achieve a desired diameter.

Just wondering what's the optimal temperature for me to extrude ABS from granules to polymer?

Re: From Granules to Filaments

It would depend on exactly what ABS your talking about. Try 180C for a starting point if you can't get suggestions for your specific ABS and extruder.

Generally speaking, the extrusion temperature is much lower than what you would print the filament at.
