Surface Quality: A++. The best surface quality I have achieved 3D printing has been with this filament, even better results than high quality PLA. It looks/feels smooth and silky.
Support Removal: A+. Ideal for organic shapes and complex structures. The support comes off easily without residues. Once again, better than PLA, PETG and PC.
Overhangs: A, I use this filament when I require to beat very challenging overhangs. It works like a champ, better than PLA and PETG, but still not as good as doing overhangs with Polycarbonate.
Layer adhesion: A+, Very good, the external perimeter is silky and smooth and the internal layers are strong.
Buildplate adhesion; B-, It is tough, buT doable. Before every print, please deeply clean your buildplate and preheat for at least 30 min. Set your nozzle height to <0.20mm and print slow using a brim. Thats what works for me, every time.
Post-work: A++, extremely easy to glue, extremly easy to paint, Surface quality is so good that sanding is not even needed.
Smell: A. Not noticeable with a closed chamber
Overall: A+. IC3D ABS filament is my workhorse. I prefer it over PLA of anybrand. and I recomend if for pretty much any application.
What can be improved?. Roll size. It is slightly wider than most rolls, which is a nuisance because it does not fit the standar spool holder of my Raise3D N2.
