Creality Hyper Series ABS 3D Printing Filament: problems, parts and running costs

Checked: 2026-10-26

Summary

Hyper ABS is a 1 kg, 1.75 mm ABS filament whose marketing claims (five times faster printing, 19 kJ/m2 impact, up to 350 mm/s) conflict with its own technical data sheet and with a Reddit-reported Creality support reply. Owner evidence is thin and consists of a forum thread and Reddit threads. It costs $18.99 per kg on the Creality US store in October 2026, or $14.24 per kg at 20 units, and is a defensible buy only if you have an enclosed printer and will use the high-speed profile.

Common problems and fixes

• Warping, layer shift and poor first-layer adhesion — reported on a Creality K1 using Creality Print’s recommended settings (120-150 mm/s, 260 C nozzle, 100-110 C bed, no fans except the model fan); owners on the Creality Forum got clean prints with an 80 C bed, a chamber of at least 40 C, 70 % part cooling and 0 % side fan, plus 3DLAC on the Creality A plate. [11][5]
• The “5x faster” speed claim is disputed — marketing positions Hyper ABS as printing five times faster, with up to 350 mm/s, while the TDS caps speed at 30-300 mm/s, and a Reddit thread reports Creality support stating Hyper ABS cannot print faster than normal ABS and advising the Generic ABS profile. Treat the speed advantage as unconfirmed. [1][3][8]
• Impact strength claim conflicts with the data sheet — marketing claims 19 kJ/m2 impact strength, while the TDS lists Charpy impact strength of 13.2 ± 1 kJ/m2; the test method behind the 19 kJ/m2 figure is not documented. [2][3]
• Print temperature ranges disagree between sources — 3DJake recommends 230-270 C nozzle and 75-95 C bed, the TDS lists 240-300 C nozzle and 70-90 C bed, and a third-party settings guide recommends 235-275 C nozzle, 100-110 C bed, 50-65 C chamber and 0-20 % cooling. Start from the TDS ranges. [2][3][6]
• ABS fumes and beginner handling — ABS releases styrene fumes, so an enclosure with filtration or a well-ventilated room is advised; a Reddit thread flags toxicity concerns for new users who bought Hyper ABS without knowing. [4][7][9]
• Diameter tolerance is not confirmed — a tolerance of ±0.05 mm appears in retailer and affiliate listings, but is not stated on the Creality or 3DJake pages or in the TDS. [7]

Parts and consumables

• Filament spool (SKU 3301020041) — $18.99 on the Creality US store in October 2026 ($29.99 compare-at), with tiered pricing down to $14.24 per kg at 20 units; consumed as it is printed. [1]
• No other replaceable parts or consumables — no filters, pods, subscriptions or spare parts are documented for this filament; the TDS calls for dry, ventilated storage with a dry box on reuse. [3]

Yearly running cost

Not enough data. No print volume, energy use or replacement schedule is published, so a yearly figure cannot be computed from the available data. The only recurring inputs are the filament itself at $18.99 to $20.52 per kg and the TDS storage requirement of a dry box on reuse; no electricity, filter or subscription cost is documented.

When it is a good buy

Price thresholds:

• Under $18.99 per kg — the Creality US store price in October 2026; defensible if you have an enclosed printer and will use the high-speed profile, since the speed advantage is unconfirmed. [1][3][8]
• $14.24 per kg — Creality US store tiered price at 20 units in October 2026; the best value if the high-speed claim holds. [1]
• Above $20.52 per kg — 3DJake in October 2026, plus delivery to the US from $32.01; harder to justify unless the Creality store is unavailable. [2]

Named alternatives:

• Regular Creality ABS — preferred by at least one Reddit poster over Hyper ABS; the better choice when you want proven, slower ABS behavior without the disputed speed claim. [10]
