I’ve printed probably 5 kilos worth of prints with a lot of success, but exclusively PLA. I’d like to branch out to a new material. Should I start with ABS or TPU?

ABS and ASA are awesome, but if you don’t have an enclosure the warping and odor can make them a pain to work with (the odor is powerful, irritating, and potentially dangerous).
But the end result is strong and can be smoothed with acetone fumes. I consider ABS and ASA my “okay, this one is serious” filaments. Parts that need to be able to withstand stronger forces and higher heat, or stuff that I want to look really good with some very easy post-processing.
