Not much. It's a useless bearing material. Gears are usually made from POM or polyester.

Politicians like to panic, they need activity. It is their substitute for achievement.
 
Pud is (of course) correct. Also worth mentioning that ABS is not one well-defined material. It is SAN (of various types) filled with various amounts of polybutadience rubber particles of various sizes. Some grades contain a lot of left other surfactant and others do not. All the parameters affect performance.
