Flame-retardant, dimension-locked, supported by humans.
Rev1 ABS Fireproof is precision-extruded 1.75 mm flame-retardant filament — self-extinguishing and engineered toward a UL94 V-0-style rating — wound evenly and vacuum-sealed with desiccant, then stocked and supported from Auburn Hills, Michigan.
When the part has to stop a flame.
Standard ABS is tough and heat-resistant, but it burns. Rev1 ABS Fireproof adds flame-retardant chemistry so the material self-extinguishes: it stops supporting a flame and goes out when the ignition source is removed, targeting a UL94 V-0-style rating as its design intent. You keep ABS toughness and heat resistance (~90–100°C) in an enclosure-grade material — the safer choice for electrical and electronics parts where flammability counts. It prints like ABS (enclosed, draft-free printer) in 3 colors.
Even diameter and a clean wind for reliable, warp-free runs.
Round, consistent 1.75 mm filament feeds smoothly so long enclosed prints don’t fail.
Every Rev1 ABS Fireproof spool is wound evenly and held to a tight diameter, so it feeds without under-extrusion across a full 1 kg or 3 kg run. Vacuum-sealed with desiccant to arrive dry — and it runs on a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle, since the flame-retardant additives aren’t abrasive.
Self-extinguishing chemistry designed toward a UL94 V-0-style rating — stops supporting a flame when the source is removed.
Holds its shape in enclosures and near electronics — far past where PLA and PETG soften.
Keeps ABS rigidity and impact toughness for functional junction boxes and housings.
Black, Grey, and Natural — the practical palette for electrical enclosures and faceplates.
Print settings for clean, crack-free ABS Fireproof.
ABS Fireproof prints just like standard ABS: it rewards a stable, draft-free environment. An enclosure, a hot bed, and minimal part cooling are what keep corners down and layers bonded. The flame-retardant additives aren’t abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle is all you need.
Hot enough for strong layer adhesion; a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle is fine — no hardened nozzle needed.
A hot bed plus glue or an adhesive sheet prevents the corners from lifting — it warps like ABS.
An enclosure holds chamber heat and blocks drafts — the #1 fix for warping and cracking.
Like all ABS, it emits a styrene odor while printing; run it in a ventilated space or with filtration.

Wall plates and covers for the parts you touch every day.
Wall switch and outlet faceplates sit right at the point of contact with mains wiring — ABS Fireproof is the flame-retardant, self-extinguishing choice for covers and plates where flammability matters.
Near-motor housings that take heat and stay safe.
Heat-tolerant, self-extinguishing shrouds for appliance motors.
Appliance motor housings and shrouds run hot and sit close to windings — ABS Fireproof holds up to ~90–100°C and self-extinguishes, so a fault doesn’t become a fire.
Raceways and wire channels that route cabling safely.
Flame-retardant channels and clips for bundling and routing wire.
Cable-management raceways and wire channels carry bundles of conductors — ABS Fireproof routes them in a self-extinguishing material, available in Black, Grey, and Natural. Ask us about 3 kg spools and case pricing.
ABS Fireproof vs. ABS vs. PC.
Pick by what the part has to survive. ABS Fireproof wins on flame retardancy and fire safety while printing like standard ABS; plain ABS covers general functional parts; PC steps up for structural, high-temperature work.

FAQ
Rev1 ABS Fireproof — Common Questions
What makes ABS Fireproof flame-retardant?
It’s an ABS compounded with flame-retardant additives so it self-extinguishes: it stops supporting a flame and goes out once the ignition source is removed, rather than continuing to burn. It’s engineered toward a UL94 V-0-style rating as a design target — not a certified test result — for parts where flammability matters.
Is it certified to UL94 V-0?
We describe it as flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, targeting a UL94 V-0-style rating as the design intent. Treat that as guidance, not a certified, tested rating on your specific printed part — printed geometry, wall thickness, and settings all affect real-world flammability. Ask us for the current data sheet before specifying it for a regulated application.
What colors and sizes are available?
Three colors — Black, Grey, and Natural — on 1 kg and 3 kg spools. Pick your color and spool size in the buy-box, or ask us about case quantities.
Does it print like regular ABS?
Yes. Print at 230–250 °C on a 90–110 °C bed in an enclosure — it warps like ABS, so keep it warm and draft-free. The flame-retardant additives aren’t abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle is all you need; no hardened nozzle required.
What is ABS Fireproof best used for?
Electrical and electronics parts where fire safety counts: junction boxes, power-supply and appliance housings, DIN-rail mounts, switch and outlet faceplates, cable-management raceways, and control-panel enclosures. It’s a safety-conscious enclosure material, not a high-strength structural or high-temp engineering plastic.
Is it safe to print indoors?
Like all ABS, it gives off a styrene odor while printing, so use it in a ventilated space or with an enclosure and filtration. Many users vent the enclosure outdoors or run a carbon/HEPA filter.
How heat-resistant is ABS Fireproof?
It holds its shape to roughly 90–100 °C — comparable to standard ABS and well past PLA and PETG — suitable for enclosures and near-motor electronics. For sustained higher temperatures or structural loads, step up to PC or ABS-CF; for outdoor use, consider ASA.
Is the 3 kg spool better value?
Yes — the 3 kg spool lowers cost per kilogram and means fewer spool changes on long or production runs. It’s the go-to for shops and print farms.
Can Rev1 quote bulk or a specific color?
Yes. Tell us the color and quantity and we confirm stock and quote case pricing with standing-order scheduling, usually within one business day. Call (248) 707-2950.
