ELEGOO ABS vs Creality Hyper ABS

Who this comparison is for

This page is for anyone choosing between these two specific spools: ELEGOO ABS in Black and Creality Hyper ABS in Black, both 1.75 mm and 1 kg. Creality calls this product "Hyper Series ABS" on its US store and "Hyper ABS 1.75mm" on its UK store, and sells it in Black, White, and Grey. ELEGOO also sells its ABS in 5 kg and 10 kg sizes, which this page doesn't cover. The Amazon listings we link report model US-EL-3D-PA01 for ELEGOO and "Hyper ABS" for Creality. That's our listing data, not something either maker's page shows, so check the color and weight on the listing before you buy. If you're still deciding whether ABS is right for you, start with PLA vs ABS or our ABS vs ASA guide. For more ABS brands, see the ABS filament shortlist, and for other ABS comparisons, Bambu Lab ABS vs Polymaker PolyLite ABS and eSUN ABS+ vs Overture ABS.

How we compared them

This is a research-based comparison. Every figure below comes from the makers' own product pages, Creality's K1C wiki, and Bambu Lab's AMS notes, all listed in the sources. We haven't tested either filament, so nothing here is a measured result of ours. Where a maker describes its own product, such as ELEGOO's "industrial-grade strength" or Creality's "Safer and More Environmentally Friendly," we label it as the maker's claim.

The two makers publish very different amounts. ELEGOO's product page has a specification table covering print settings, drying, and physical and mechanical properties. Creality's Hyper ABS page has a list of feature lines and product images, and we found no data sheet for it on Creality's store or wiki. Where a figure appears only inside one of Creality's product images, we say so. We only put numbers side by side where both makers publish the same kind of value under the same test conditions, and for these two, none qualify.

Side-by-side specs

Temperatures, glue, and speed

ELEGOO gives a 240–280 °C nozzle, a 90–100 °C bed, and a 45–60 °C chamber, and lists build plate glue as "Required" on textured or smooth PEI "or Other Plates." It recommends a nozzle of 0.2 mm or larger and gives a printing speed below 220 mm/s, without saying what layer height or line width that assumes.

Creality's Hyper ABS page gives no nozzle or bed temperature in its text. The spool label in its main Black product photo carries print settings, but the print is small and soft at the size Creality serves the image, so we haven't relied on it. Creality's K1C wiki table, titled for K1 series printers, has rows for "Hyper PLA" and "Generic ABS" but none for Hyper ABS. It lists Generic ABS at a 260 °C nozzle and 100 °C bed. Its notes say "For non-official filaments, please select generic filament parameters in the slicer software," and its slicer steps say to select the filament you plan to use, but the wiki doesn't name a Hyper ABS profile. Check whether your Creality slicer lists one before falling back to the generic row. The same wiki says "When printing ABS/ASA or engineering filaments, it's recommended to manually turn off the chamber fan," and recommends glue stick on the print platform for first layer adhesion.

On speed, Creality's headline feature is "Five Times Faster, More Efficient." One of its product images shows "5X" and "23min" over a side-by-side of "Hyper ABS" and "Common ABS," without naming the printer, settings, or what the 23 minutes measures. Read it as Creality's claim, not a speed setting. ELEGOO's below 220 mm/s is its own ceiling, so neither figure is a measured race.

Enclosure, warping, and ventilation

ELEGOO is clear that its ABS needs an enclosure. The product page's compatibility note says "Enclosure Printer Required," and the spec table lists enclosed printing as "Required" with a 45–60 °C chamber.

Creality's product page text says nothing about an enclosure, a chamber temperature, or ventilation. One product image is captioned "Make 3D Printing Much Easier" and contrasts Hyper ABS with "Common ABS: cracking, warping," which is Creality's claim with no test behind it. A missing enclosure note doesn't mean you can skip one. Until Creality documents otherwise, plan for an enclosure as you would for any ABS.

Neither maker's page gives ventilation or fume guidance. ELEGOO's page doesn't mention odor, and Creality's "Safer and More Environmentally Friendly" comes with no emissions figures. Our enclosure planning guide covers heat and exhaust, and our warping guide covers what to try when corners lift.

Heat and strength figures: listed separately

None of these can be set side by side. ELEGOO names no test standard or specimen method in its table, and Creality's two figures appear only inside product images, with no test method, load, or specimen details.

ELEGOO ABS (product page spec table, no test standard named)

• Density: 1.05 g/cm³
• Melt index: 8.8 ± 0.3 g/10 min
• Melting temperature: 216 °C
• Vicat softening temperature: 86 °C
• Heat deflection temperature: 85 °C at 0.45 MPa
• Tensile strength: 35 ± 1.5 MPa X-Y, 29 ± 2 MPa Z
• Elongation at break: 7.2% ± 0.2% X-Y, 6.9% ± 0.3% Z
• Bending strength: 68 ± 2 MPa X-Y, 53 ± 2 MPa Z
• Bending modulus: 2484 ± 115 MPa X-Y, 2133 ± 105 MPa Z
• Impact strength: 54.9 ± 3.2 kJ/m² X-Y, 9.6 ± 1.1 kJ/m² Z, test type not stated

ELEGOO's feature text also says its ABS "withstands temperatures up to 85 °C without deforming or losing strength," which matches its heat deflection figure at the lighter 0.45 MPa load.

Creality Hyper ABS (image text only)

• A product image headed "High-temperature Resistance" shows "80°C," above a photo captioned "Prototyping of ABS printed dry boxes." It doesn't say whether that's a heat deflection, Vicat, or service temperature.
• A product image headed "High Impact Resistance" shows "19 kJ/m²," without naming the test, the notch, or the print direction.

Creality's text lists "High Impact Resistance" and "High-temperature Resistance" without figures. Because neither image names a test, the 80 °C and 19 kJ/m² can't be set against ELEGOO's 85 °C at 0.45 MPa or 54.9 kJ/m². For a part that will sit near heat, plan around the lower figure each maker publishes.

Drying and storage

ELEGOO publishes drying guidance and Creality doesn't.

• ELEGOO ABS. The spec table recommends drying before use at 70 ± 5 °C for 8 hours, and printing and storing at 20% RH or below, sealed with desiccant. ELEGOO doesn't publish a temperature rating for its cardboard spool.
• Creality Hyper ABS. The product page gives no drying temperature, time, or storage guidance. Creality's K1C wiki says only that "Moisture-sensitive materials like PA/PA-CF/TPU should be dried before printing or kept dry during storage," and doesn't mention ABS.

Check that your spool can take the heat before drying either one on the spool. Our filament dryer vs dry box guide and filament storage guide cover the options.

Spools and multi-material feeders

ELEGOO's product page lists "Recycled Cardboard Spool & Box" under an "Our Responsibility to Society" heading, and the spec section gives an empty spool weight of 154 ± 10 g but no spool dimensions. Its product page offers a printable "Filament Ring" to "adapt to AMS (because AMS will rub the bottom paper tray, causing the paper tray to easily delaminate)," and recommends printing that ring in PETG.

Creality's Hyper ABS page doesn't state the spool material or size in its text. Its product images show a spool printed "Spool made from recycled material," without naming the material, and some of them show a label for Hyper PLA rather than Hyper ABS, so treat the images as a guide only. Creality's page doesn't mention its CFS or any other multi-material system for Hyper ABS, and it doesn't mention an RFID tag.

Bambu Lab's AMS notes give a supported spool range of 50–68 mm wide and 197–202 mm across, and say "we strongly advise using a Spool Adapter/Spool Adapter Ring" for cardboard spools. Neither maker documents a tested fit with the AMS, the CFS, or any other feeder for these spools, so we make no compatibility claim for either. ELEGOO's ring note is its own guidance about AMS wear on paper spools, not a fit claim. Our AMS filament compatibility guide covers spool sizes and adapters.

What each maker says it's for

• ELEGOO ABS. ELEGOO lists "drone mounts, protective cases, rugged outdoor gear, and industrial tools," and "electronic housings and household appliance parts exposed to high operating temperatures." It says the filament is "Engineered for water resistance and cold weather durability." Those are ELEGOO's claims.
• Creality Hyper ABS. Creality says it is "Compatible with Most Creality 3D Printers" and "Highly Compatible with Creality's 3D Printers." One product image shows Ender, CR, and "Complete Machine Series" printers. Creality doesn't list applications in its text.

Verdict: which should you buy?

Choose ELEGOO ABS if…

• You want published nozzle, bed, chamber, drying, and storage settings to start from.
• You have an enclosed printer, since ELEGOO lists enclosed printing as required.
• You want heat and strength figures, even without named test standards, and you don't mind using glue on the plate.

Choose Creality Hyper ABS if…

• You print on a Creality machine and want Creality's own ABS, which Creality says is compatible with most of its printers.
• You're comfortable working out your own drying and enclosure setup, since Creality publishes neither for Hyper ABS.
• You don't need a data sheet or named test figures before you buy.

Safety and limits

How this page was checked

Every temperature, speed, drying setting, spool detail, and test figure above comes from the manufacturer pages in the sources section, retrieved on 2026-10-13. We haven't printed with either filament for this page, so nothing here is a measured result of ours. ELEGOO's figures come from the specification table and feature text on its product page. Creality's Hyper ABS pages on its US and UK stores list the same feature lines in text and give no figures; we found no data sheet on Creality's store or wiki, and the K1C wiki table has no Hyper ABS row. The 80 °C and 19 kJ/m² figures are text inside Creality's product images, legible at the full size Creality serves them, and we've labelled them as image text. The print settings on the spool label in Creality's main Black product photo are small and soft at the served size, so we haven't relied on them. Some of Creality's Hyper ABS images show a spool labelled Hyper PLA. Values vary by color and batch, and makers do reformulate, so check the current pages for your spool.
