  Thanks! It’s Polymaker ASA in blue.

  I bought two 3 kg spools of it because it was fairly cheap (it’s always fairly cheap, but it was also on sale for $50), comes on a cardboard spool, and it prints fairly well. The vast majority of my prints are functional and I don’t really care what color they are.

  That said, my surface finish is a out 100 times better on my Voron than it was on my old i3 clone. I suspect this is because my extruder doesn’t have a grub screw and is geared so it doesn’t rely on the stepper micro stepping. If you go back a little in my post history you can see an A/B between the two. If you have a direct drive ungeared extruder it might be worth looking at upgrading if you want to improve surface finish.
