Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different 3D printing patterns, under identical thermal and mechanical parameters of the 3D printing process itself, on the microstructural and hydrophilic properties of amorphous ABS copolymer samples printed with five different 3D printing patterns by sequentially depositing layers using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling).
Conclusions: The results of studying the printed samples using SEM, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements showed that the combination of thermal and mechanical effects during 3D printing in the studied extrusion mode does not cause noticeable orientation of the polymer chains of the original amorphous ABS copolymer, does not disrupt its intrastructural chemical bonds, and the surface of all printed samples with five different patterns is hydrophilic. Moreover, the printed sample with the most complex geometry is the 1_Hilbert pattern, which has the most distorted morphology and surface defects and exhibits the highest contact angle (j = 67o), exceeding the corresponding values in samples with other patterns (j ≈ 60o) by ~10 %, and has a hydrophilic surface
