    "citation": "Bambu Lab PETG HF lists a nozzle of 230–260 °C (446–500 °F), a bed of 65–75 °C (149–167 °F), and drying at 65 °C (149 °F) for 8 h, from the technical data sheet checked 2026-10-15. Bambu Lab ABS lists a nozzle of 230–260 °C (446–500 °F) and a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F) from the Open Filament Database, and drying at 80 °C (176 °F) for 8 h from the Bambu ABS technical data sheet. Both records leave enclosure required blank. Neither record lists a UV rating, a heat-deflection temperature, or an impact figure.",
    "reading": "Nozzle, bed, and drying in the table are those catalog cells. Enclosure required is blank on both rows, so the table does not say ABS requires an enclosure. A draft-free enclosure, little or no part cooling, and ventilation are process advice on the ABS printing guide. Outdoor UV is not on these sheets. The outdoor guide puts ASA ahead of PETG and ABS for sun, and it does not publish a UV-hours test. Toughness is not on these records either. This page does not add an impact or heat-deflection number."
