About product

Square hollow ABS profile, 5 mm side, length 250 mm

Hollow square-section profiles of ABS plastic with a 5 mm side and a length of 250 mm. Five millimeters is a size that already carries a load: it suits load-bearing parts of a structure, posts and frames, where a thinner profile would give way. At the same time the bore keeps the weight down and lets you run a wire through the profile or push a thinner tube inside it to reinforce a joint.

Use

  • load-bearing frames and skeletons of scratchbuilt structures
  • posts for scaffolding, fences and railings on dioramas
  • square ducting and channels on buildings
  • a skeleton under a skin of thinner material

How to work with the material

ABS cuts and sands well. Shorten the profile with a fine-toothed saw and true the cut up with a file so that the parts seat against each other; on a hollow profile scoring and snapping does not work. It is bonded with super glue or with an adhesive intended for ABS; with ordinary polystyrene cement do not count on the same effect, because that one works by dissolving styrene. Build the frame up dry first and only then glue it, otherwise small inaccuracies add up into a crooked structure. Degrease the surface and apply primer before painting.

Who the material is for

For modelers who build parts themselves, for builders of buildings and structures, and for anyone who needs a strong light profile that holds a right angle.

The knife can slip while cutting, so work on a cutting mat and draw the blade away from your body. Keep offcuts and dust out of the reach of children and ventilate the room when sanding.

FAQ

250 mm. The profiles in this range all have the same length.

A square section with a 5 mm side, hollow inside.

With super glue or with an adhesive intended for ABS. Ordinary polystyrene cement works on a different principle.

Of the square profiles 5 mm is the sturdier size and it suits load-bearing parts. A joint is always weaker than the profile itself, though.
