The objective of this study is to investigate how the mechanical properties of components produced using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) on a Creality Ender-3 3D printer are affected by various fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing parameters. The impact of various factors, including infill density, printing speed, platform temperature, extruder temperature, and so on, was assessed in terms of their influence on the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elastic modulus of the manufactured components. The impact of each parameter was assessed using a Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology. Finally, the second set of parameters, including a 35% infill thickness, 0.25 mm layer level, 40 mm/s printing speed, 75 °C platform temperature, 210 °C extruder temperature, and 75 mm/s travel speed, was discovered to be the most suitable for ABS filament used to make impellers.
