MakerBot 375-0008A - ABS - Blanco - MakerBot - Tough Smart Extruder+ - 160 °C - 150 °C

Engineers and product designers running MakerBot Method X or Method X Carbon Fiber Edition printers rely on this white Tough ABS filament when they need durable prototypes and manufacturing aids that can withstand real workshop conditions. Load the spool into a Tough Smart Extruder+ and print functional parts that resist impact and heat far better than standard ABS.

Key specifications

• Material: Tough ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Colour: White
• Recommended extruder: MakerBot Tough Smart Extruder+
• Nozzle temperature: 150–160 °C
• High impact strength and durability
• Heat resistant for demanding environments
• Compatible with MakerBot Method X and Method X Carbon Fiber Edition
• Post-processing: sandable, paintable, machinable

Why choose it

Tough ABS delivers the mechanical performance needed for jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts that must survive repeated use. Its high impact strength reduces cracking and failure, while the white colour provides a clean, professional finish that is easy to paint or label. Because it is engineered for the Tough Smart Extruder+, you get reliable extrusion and consistent layer adhesion on Method X printers.

Ideal use cases

• Functional prototypes that require impact resistance
• Manufacturing tools such as jigs, fixtures, and guides
• End-use parts for low-volume production
• Components exposed to moderate heat or mechanical stress
• Parts that will be sanded, painted, or machined after printing

Good to know

Store the filament in a cool, dry environment and keep it sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. A heated build plate is recommended for best adhesion and reduced warping. Note that ABS can produce a noticeable odour during printing, so ensure adequate ventilation. The spool is designed for easy loading into MakerBot Method series printers.
