Hi gang- please can anyone tell me if ABS is as flexible as nylon. Can ABS be used as a living hinge and clip lock in an injection mold? Cheers-Quinster

ABS is solid and does not bend very well. I would not recommend it as a living hinge. I printed a carabiner with around 50% infill and it lasted a few months with daily use.
