ABS+ print temperature and settings
A modified ABS that most brands tune for less warping, with the same heat resistance and the same need for an enclosure.
Across the 4 ABS+ lines we track, the median recommended range is 238–245 °C at the nozzle and 100–100 °C on the bed. GEEETECH starts lowest (220 °C) and Filament Unger goes highest (260 °C).

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should I print ABS+ at?
Most brands recommend about 238–245 °C at the nozzle and 100–100 °C on the bed (median of 4 brands). Use your brand's own range when you have it.
Do I need an enclosure for ABS+?
Yes. ABS+ warps and cracks in drafts; an enclosed, warm printer gives far better results.
Does ABS+ need a hardened nozzle?
No. A standard brass nozzle is fine.
