My ABS parts have been amazing for the last 8 years.  I just bought the Bambu X1C and got a variety of ABS/ASA filaments, including some CF / GF variants.  I'll make a bunch of Lembeh pokey stick handles for my staff which should be a good test for longevity as they look after their equipment sooooo well. [/sarcasm] I'll post here once they're in the field and update accordingly.

Separately. I'm amazed at the print speed/quality on the X1C.  I'm running it alongside a Flashforge Adventurer 4 (which I know isn't a particularly good printer) and it's well worth twice the initial investment.  VS my old Lulzbot Taz5 it's also a massive improvement. Modern self levelling is amazing and that's where I wasted most of my time on the Lulzbot.

Is anyone running a modern Ultimaker on the forum?

I'm using a Flashforge 5M Pro  Realy happy with it. It's the second printer I had my first was 10 years... and the new 5M is really a other wolrd... speed quality etc... 

For me is the 5M a good choice then it is sheap (and good 😉 )

That's great to hear, the technology is moving on very quickly.

Sure, I'll send you a PM.

 

I'm not sure what you have available in the EU. Here in the US I order Overture PETG from Amazon (or Polymaker PETG, which is identical). 

Isaac can I get the profile as well? I have a Prusa Mk4 so I would assume it would transfer as they use the same slicer.
