I have been mostly printing in ABS recently, and have honestly had pretty good success with it (and I know some smaller companies like radical rocketry or Boyce aerospace) use ABS for their kits. For Christmas I was gifted 2 kits from Boyce, and I realized the ABS they use seems to be 'better'. I actually asked Alex about this, and he said it's a special filament they get by the pallet from China (prints at a higher temp and is more ductile and impact resistant). Just from handling the parts its clear this material is different (and certainly feels more ductile).
I have tried out several ABS + or ABS pro options and while they all work, none are nearly as nice as what Boyce aerospace uses. Just curious if anyone has investigated any more unique ABS options? I debated CF ABS as a possible solution to combat warping, but with a small space heater and Flashforge ABS (I have a flash forge printer, someone the two just work well together) I have pretty much eliminated the warping/layer separation issue. But just seeing what Alex can do with his special ABS has made me wonder what else is out there.
