[ABS] Terluran HI-10

Resin: ABS  Terluran HI-10 BK10009
Equipment used: Filastruder #1956 ver 1.6 with 2.0 motor and 1.75mm melt filter, full barrrel insulation, vertical mount with filawinder. Beverage straws were placed over the PTFE tubing was on the laser sensor to guide the filament better. Printer is DaVinci 1.0 with custom firmware, Bowden carriage, heated glass bed, and E3D hotend.
DETAILS:
Tip Diameter: 1.6 mm
Extruded temperature: 188°C
Speed of extrusion: 17" / min
Filament diameter and tolerance: 1.74mm +/- 0.02mm
Pre-extrusion processing: Food dehydrator for 4 hours.
Extruded vs purchased: Very smooth and consistent finish and color on the extruded filament. Doesn’t seem nearly as brittle as most of the ABS filament I have purchased. I have purchased a wide variety and I would equate the printed performance of the extruded filament as good or better than $42/kg filament I have purchased.
Printing: All printing was performed on a 90 degree bed with sugar/water coating. Adhesion was fine, no warping and prints easily released when cooled. The single-wall 100mm column was printed at temperatures from 240 to 213C (temp decreased 3 degrees/10mm) and .01mm layer height. Layer adhesion was excellent throughout. The objects were printed at 225C and .03 layer height. The objects are 1.5 inch EMT conduit tension nuts/filament guides. I find that these help limit the uncoiling of filament for my particular setup. This one has a longer arm and an integrated filament clip to use when the filament isn’t actually loaded.
COMMENTS:
- This material was purchased from an E-bay seller in Missouri (Carl’s Industrial Salvage). I received this as part of an assortment of materials that I wanted to test, but this specific product is available from $2.50 to $8.50/lb shipped in amounts from 1-16 lbs. The pellets were in a zip lock bag. The pellets are fairly consistently sized 3mm “pebbles”.- Extrusion was performed at temperatures from 186 to 190 degrees. My most consistent results were at 188C  and resulted in consistent 1.74 mm filament at 17 inches/minute. I have approximately 2.5 feet vertical drop in my setup. This same arrangement and temperature results in 19 inches/minute and 1.70mm diameter MG-94 filament.
- The extruded filament is a somewhat matte black. Almost identical to the black spool (magicCube?) that I used to spool it.
