Identify
How to tell it’s abs plastic
Rigid, smooth, and slightly glossy; snaps with a clean edge rather than bending. Often marked 'ABS' near the recycling symbol.
Character

One of the well-behaved plastics — hard, non-waxy, and happy to take ordinary plastic epoxy or super glue after a light scuff.
Alternatives
