# ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- Very common in consumer injection-molded parts.
| Pros | Cons |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| - Melts in acetone, acetone vapor smoothing can be used to improve surface finish<br>- Prints fairly quickly<br>- Very high toughness relative to PLA or PETG<br>- High temperature resistance<br>- UV resistant | - Very high warpage<br>- Smells horrid and outputs toxic fumes when printing |
# ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)
Chemically similar to ABS, just better.
| Pros | Cons |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| - Very high temp resistance (past 100C)<br>- Very high UV resistance<br>- Matte surface finish<br>- Prints *very quickly*<br>- Greatly reduced warping compared to ABS | - Equally bad fumes as ABS<br>- Still somewhat difficult to print. |
# HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
Similar to ABS, but softer, waxier, and more flexible.
| Pros | Cons |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---- |
| - Melts in acetone, acetone vapor smoothing can be used to improve surface finish. | |
Has a very low density, works well for wearables and props. Hips is
