Yeah I prefer PLA unless I need rigidity for a functional part, in which case I use PETG. I’ve not found abs that awesome except for the ability to smooth it in acetone vapor.

PETG is supposed to be similarly relatively inert and safe compared to ABS and the vapors relatively non toxic. The problem is apparently fake PETG is quite common:

These brands I would avoid as they must be using something other than PETG and likely have additives you don’t want to breathe.
