Is the material produced by the printer hard to cut? Is it like styrene or more like resin? Perhaps a razor saw would be a better choice.
Short answer:
It's like styrene.
Long answer:
It depends on each batch - seriously ! The first couple of spools I went through were white ABS as supplied with the machine. It was just like dealing with a sort of Games Workshop easy going takes liquid poly no problem doesn't fracture when trimmed way.
Then I loaded up with a black ABS purchased online from somewhere in HK and it was more like a mid '60s FROG or Airfix hackncrack.
When I printed up some bases (WH40K compatible as downloaded from Thingiverse) I did them in the white stuff and they came off their "raft" with little effort - the slight plyability enabling the loose anchoring to give as soon as a fingernail came in contact. The black stuff however, wouldn't release and the application of a chisel blade to "nudge" it off resulted in a jab to the middle finger on the left hand... the immediate aftermath being recorded back there for posterity (and my amusement - "hey look Karen [squirt..squirt] "). PLA & nylon are even more brittle, but for my modelling purposes, ABS is the go as it's totally compatible with that which we do regardless of it's brittle factor.
