Can't even get it where I live but I've been wanting to try it. Those prices are bonkers though and it better be really good to justify it. I get my cleanest prints off of $14 cad per 1kg roll ABS and its really hard to justify the things the more expensive filaments when they print like shit after doing every calibration
Pretty much the same. I'd be curious to try PHA, but can't justify spending 2-3x the cost of my cheap prototyping PLA (Zyltech) or functional ABS (LDO or Polymaker).
What brand are you using? Anything generic I have tried have been worse experience compared to good brands. Mostly the spools not being wound as well, though I think prints are less as good too.
D3d sigma prototyping abs. I was expecting it to be shit but it had no problems at all. It's actually my remaining stock from the ender 3v2 era and it still works as expected. It's still available but it could be totally different now for all I know. Several brands became big names now but d3d seemingly became less known. They also had transparent abs which I previously bought for voron toolhead leds but it was out of stock when I was looking at the available colours the other day.
The only recent comparison I can do is the eryone black abs I bought this month that I swear is just stinky petg. Super glossy vaguely waxy feel, very stringy and oozey.
