The influence of 3D printing layer height on frictional properties of ABS plastic

This work is devoted to the study of tribotechanical properties of 3D printed samples from ABS plastic. The results of determining the coefficient of friction and mass wear of the samples obtained by 3D-printing with different printing heights during the friction testing on machine II 5018 are presented. It is shown that in order to reduce the coefficient of friction and mass wear of the ABS plastic specimen, it is recommended to produce specimens with a higher print height. 3D printed parts with 0.3 mm layer height have shown the best results because of greater layer adhesion.
