As above. Unused brand new rolls, but I had to nick the packaging to check the color.

Don't have a 3d printer anymore.

Pickup from Parnell, or Kingsland Auckland. Or I can courier at buyers expense.

Donate it to your local library/kids maker space?

If you can't find any where to donate it to, I will take it off your hands (as a first time owner of a new Ender 3 V2!).

More than happy to pay courier fees down to ChCh.

The problem is - ABS is really annoying to print with due to curling issues.

@SumnerBoy I have a V2 also. Would recommend sticking to PLA+ (the best stuff I've found is this: https://marvle3d.co.nz/3d-filament/1625-371-pla-filament-regular-11-colours.html#/46-colors-full_color_drop_down_list) at 215*C for the tool, 60*C for the bed. Also consider getting a BLTouch and use this firmware: https://github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases - take it from me, you won't have a fun experience printing with ABS (or you will, depending on how mad you are!).

Lastly - I have a couple of rolls of ABS to add to this if anyone wants some - white and black. Free pickup (Paraparaumu or Wellington) else cover shipping.

Have PM'd SumnerBoy. Spools are allocated that way pending payment for freight.

Regarding ABS, it is quite a different material than PLA. ABS has superior strength, but is a little more prone to shrinking.

I printed a wide variety of stuff in ABS on my up mini before I sold it without issue.

It is really unfortunate, but some company was granted a patent for a heated build chamber, which would massively reduce issue's with warping / shrinkage (not that I had issues, but my printer did have enclosure warmed by the bed, rather than a heater). I don't think something as basic as a heated box should be granted a patented...

One tip for printing in ABS. Keep your spools in plastic box with a tight fitting lid, and a "DampRid" or similar in it. Means you don't get tiny bubbles in your print in wet conditions.

Yeah thanks for the tips - I have bought a few spools of that PLA+ from Marvle3D - been running at 210*C and 65*C as the printer is in my very cold garage at the moment - no child safe area to have it inside yet.

I have been looking at the BLTouch and am planning on upgrading. Will check out that firmware, ta.

I have also just ordered a RPi + camera to run Octoprint - are you doing this? If so, interested to know what mount/case you printed for the Pi + camera?

I have been very impressed with the PLA+ prints I have done to-date, so getting this ABS was just a chance to have a play really - and try to learn a bit more about the different materials etc.

Such a cool toy!!

I've still got a couple of ABS if anyone wants them. They're just otherwise sitting around!
