Sorry for the bump, I don't know how many people actually view this, but if anyone has suggestions on BRANDS of ABS filament, please let me know.

I am in the process of making more models for printing (to further test / learn tricks and techniques etc).

I am hoping to continue to use ABS for now, since that is what my printer came with (instead of using PLA). My printer came with RED and GREEN, which are "less desirable" for unpainted prints. I am planning to order Whites, blacks, maybe transparent/clear, and Glow in the dark (for fun haha).

Amazon.ca has tons of brands, and all priced similarly. I don't mind ordering a few colors from different companies. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all relatively the same in terms of reliability and quality. But if anyone has experience with one brand over the other, feel free to let me know.

Thank you in advance!

(Googling this was hard, as most results are comparing ABS with PLA etc. Not BRANDS of ABS with other brands). And some of the lesser known brands aren't even discussed.


EDIT: I've somewhat narrowed down to "MG Chemicals" from Amazon.ca. My sole reason for picking this brand is their page allows you to see and select all of their colors offered. So I can buy multiple colors from one page, instead of browsing through long lists finding the colors I want. AND they have translucent/transparent, which apparently some companies don't offer.
