Introduction
ABS (here) stands for Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, i.e. kind of plastic. E.g. car parts and Legos are made from ABS
ABS in 3D printing
ABS comes in variants. It “is a copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15 to 35% acrylonitrile, 5 to 30% butadiene and 40 to 60% styrene.” (Wikipedia)
Proportions + color pigments added will modify melting temperature and other behavior !
This implies that recommendations for your 3D printer only apply to the kind of ABS that was sold by the company (official recommendations) or that was bought by users (blogs, forums, wikis).
