I think it's really effectively just Nylon.


Or at least that's what the cold (atomic) pull guys like to use to most.  You can do cold pulls with ABS too.

If you don't know how to do a cold pull Google it.

Thanks got some off of ebay.  Also found Florida-filaments.com to be some good ABS filament.
