ABS ?  

RE: ABS ?

Not ABS but I print a lot of ASA and nothing has happened. 

RE: ABS ?

I know I'll try ASA too but I have tons of ABS reels here

so I am really interested in people printing ABS

RE: ABS ?

Melting happens because of reaching a certain temperature level and the required temperatures for ASA and ABS are about the same.
The MK4S comes with printable parts on the extruder/x-carriage in PCCF, not in PETG as with the MK4.
Some months ago I replaced the printable extruder/x-carriage parts on my MK4 with PCCF parts, after having printed some spools of ASA and also more than one spool of PCCF. When I compared the old PETG parts of the x-carriage with my new parts I could see that the edges had lost their definition.
If you buy a new MK4S, I guess you would not have to worry about that then.

talking about that, wait is best for engineering parts ? asa ? petg? pccf ?

What is the best filament (engineering or otherwise) depends on your application as the different types of plastics have different properties: tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, flexibility/rigidity, thermal tolerance, UV tolerance, chemical tolerance (to many different types of chemicals), surface friction, surface energy, to name only a few properties. A big part of mechanical engineering is choosing the right material for the expected end use, and no one material is "the best" for all applications.
