Easy to print with ABS filament
I produce many 3d printed items for sale and this ColorCubed ABS filament never let me down. Layer adhesion is great with the right settings and surface finish is good. Highly recommend.

ABS is finicky to get just right.
I am having trouble printing properly with the abs. It may not be the fault of the filament but I have warpage and sticking to the bed issues which I am slowly tuning my 3d printer settings to achieve a better result.Update 10/10/2018:So I have dialed in my ABS printing with an enclosure and upgrade heated bed for my CR 10. I am using a nozzle temp of 265 degrees C and a bed temp of 125 degrees C.My prints worked very well until now.Now that I have gotten down to half a spool of the filament it is tangling and causing my extruder to slip. I had no problem with the beginning of the spool but now that it is at half, the filament is junk now. I am changing the rating to one star. There is no reason for the spool to be wound improperly.

Product is as described. Does not work on my printer very well, lots of adhesion issues between layers.

Excessive moisture in filament.
My "premium" filament seems to have a more than fair amount of moisture in it. I received my spool in the mail and it was contained inside of the usual thick plastic bag that was vacuum packed and contained a silica gel packet inside; nothing out of the ordinary. Happy that I received my order, I set it aside in my room in its unopened packaging until I needed to use it.I got it about a week or two ago, and today was the day I decided that I needed it. I opened it up and within the same minute, had it loaded on my spool holder and was working on loading it into my printer. I loaded my print file into the printer and started printing.I heard the quiet snapping sound associated with printing with filament that has too much moisture in it. I sighed and decided to let the print continue. I leaned in to watch the print a little closer as the machine worked; I could actually see the bubbles being layed down or rising and (most of them) deflating in the fresh plastic that'd been put down.I took pictures of a finished piece (which is one of two other pieces to a project I'd just finished designing and were all a part of this same first print). The pictures clearly show the effect the moisture had on the print. I can't imagine what the inside looks like or how much weaker the design is because of that. I've had problems with another spool of Colorcubed filament (Aqua) where I have heard the same sounds, but it was infrequent and had no blatantly visible effect on the prints. I've also heard my roll of white crackle the same way as the aqua.I am aware that I am able to throw the spools in the oven and "bake" the moisture out, but I shouldn't need to do that with how dry my house is, and I definitely shouldn't need to do it with a brand new, literally just out-of-the-bag, spool of "premium" filament. I'm probably not going to be buying from Colorcubed again, which is unfortunate because they seem to have the largest selection of available colors on Amazon for cheap prices. I'd rather limit myself and pay the few extra dollars for quality though.

Works just like expensive filament
prints as well as any $40 and up spool of ABS. Printed on a Creality Ender 3. Bowden System

Avoid
Printed one good quality part, then since then has jammed up new ptfe tubing, forcing new tube to be cut. After baking in the oven it is more reliable, for a couple days until it absorbs more moisture. My house stays at 30-40% humidity and my other filament doesn't have this issue (Inland, another cheaper option).Also, incredibly annoying how short the walls are on the spool. Unwinds and binds way too easy.
