PolyLite™ Neon ABS is a series of bright neon colours in Polymakers popular PolyLite™ ABS filament range. This unique Neon colour range offer an intense colour in daylight and react under UV blacklight for a bright neon colour. PolyLite™ Neon ABS is also made with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin, which has significantly lower volatile content compared to traditional ABS resins. It delivers excellent printing quality with minimal odor during printing. Ideal for printing bright and FUN-ctional projects, PolyLite™ Neon ABS is
well suited for a range applications including cosplay, 3D printer builds, NERF, laser tag, party accessories and end-use-products.
Features
- Blacklight Reactive - PolyLite™ Neon ABS is a series of vibrant florescent colours that under black light giving a nice and bright neon colour whether under daylight or black light! PolyLite™ Neon ABS is well suited for a wide range of aesthetic and functional applications requiring a durable, impact resistant or colourful filament.
- Less Odor - PolyLite™ Neon ABS is made with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin, which has significantly lower volatile content compared to traditional ABS resins. It delivers excellent printing quality for printing functional parts with minimal and reduced odor during printing.
- Balanced Mechanical / Thermal Properties - Many other brands of ABS filament feature additives which can reduce the heat resistance of the filament. PolyLite™ Neon ABS is a "true" ABS filament, featuring well balanced mechanical and thermal properties, outperforming regular PLA and PETG in toughness while featuring a heat resistance up to 100°C.
- Excellent Printing Quality - PolyLite™ Neon ABS is capable of printing high quality models and prototypes and is commonly used for 3D printing production parts. Made with only the highest quality materials, PolyLite™ ABS delivers excellent printing quality and reliability. Minimum 90°C heated bed required.
- Uncompromised Quality - With Polymaker's industry leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, you can rest assured that PolyLite™ ABS will produce beautiful, reliable and accurate printed parts.
Specifications
- Nozzle Temperature: 245 - 265 ˚C
- Build Plate Temperature: 90 – 100 ˚C
- Build Surface Temperature: OFF for better strength, LOW FAN speed may be required for printers with active chamber heating.
- Fan Speed: 30 – 50 mm/s
- Retraction: The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer and depend on the hot
end. The following settings have been a good starting point for many machines. Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 1mm with retraction speed of 30mm/s Bowden: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 60mm/s - Enclosure: Recommended
- Heated Chamber: Recommended for some geometries. 70˚C+ may be required for higher density and larger geometries.
- Recommended Support Material: Self-support.
The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.
ABS filaments benefit from a hot environment. When printing larger or higher density models it can be
beneficial to pre-heat your build plate 20 - 30 minutes before printing. In colder climates a longer preheating time may be useful.
Which printer can print PolyLite™ ABS
Depending on the size of the models you are trying to print, PolyLite™ ABS can required enclosed 3D printer, or even actively heated chamber.
In general a non-enclosed 3D printer with 90˚C bed temperature and 260˚C printing temperature can handle models smaller than fist size. For bigger prints you will required an enclosed 3D printer (~40-50˚C), for models bigger than ~15-20cm in any direction, it will require an actively heated chamber (~70˚C+).
Using proper bed adhesion can also help printing larger parts without deformation/warping issue.
We can recommend Magigoo or BuildTak as adhesive and bed surface options.

(Only if the material has absorbed moisture)
Can PolyLite™ ABS be post-processed with Acetone?
Yes, PolyLite™ ABS can be smoothed with acetone.
WARNING: Acetone is a dangerous chemical, please handle it with the necessary safety precautions.
We recommend PolySmooth™ as a safer alternative to create smooth surface models.
