Ultimaker ABS 2.85 750g.
ABS is the engineering plastic behind building bricks and appliance housings. It takes heat to about 95–100 °C, resists impact, sands and finishes well and can be vapour-smoothed with acetone, but it shrinks noticeably and smells while printing.

Typical ranges for this material; the spool label and the printer profile are the authority.
Good for parts that must survive heat: automotive clips, equipment covers, gears and load-bearing mechanisms. Avoid large flat parts on an open printer, where corners lift off the bed.
Best on an enclosed printer such as the Bambu Lab P2S, X2D or H2 series to limit warping and fumes
Print with ventilation or a filtered printer, keep the spool dry, and if corners lift, raise the chamber temperature or use the bed adhesive your printer manual recommends.
