PLA. PLA is a superior material. The only thing worse about it is that it can't handle temperatures above 50C and a car can get that hot if left in the sun with windows rolled up so don't use it for a cell phone holder for a car!
If you need higher temp there are many other choices better than ABS. Basically never use ABS. colorrfabb ngen is my favorite but there are many other's almost as good. For example CPE.
There are two graphs on this web page I created. The bottom graph - materials can handle higher temps as you move right but also they get harder to print:
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
