What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this as a first timer with abs. Also, it's nice to not have a beefy polystyrene spool left over.
Adhesion to the heated kapton bed is totally solid, and arguably a bit better than mb's own. Heat gun and acetone glossing remains spot on and smooths out very predictably. Works great for vapor smoothing. No warping from the stepper.

I only use abs for smoothing projects, with the tradeoff of less reliability.
Competitiveness

I bought their petg and couldn't get anything to work.
Adheres viciously to a creality pei bed.
