Experience in cutting abs with scissors?

[Muhobi[TK]]

Hello Troopers, I have a question and I would like to make some improvements to my armor, which is made of ABS. Is there a special pair of scissors for ABS (thickness approx. 2mm) and what is it called? What do you have to watch out for with scissors with which you cut ABS because I want to do without a saw, Dremel, cutter.
-Thank you for the answer-

imperial greetings

Greetings! “Lexan” scissors are what you want for cutting ABS. Some also use tin snips, but they are larger and less maneuverable. Having both curved and straight lexan scissors will greatly help you with ABS trimming.

along with the "score and snap" method.
