Hi and welcome to the forum! This is the prusa Mini forum though 😉 

Yes, the MK3 can print abs just fine, though I can't really recommend any brands since I've never tried it.

Hi , 

I am also just starting.

I found asa good , struggled with pla on its standard settings.

Smooth sheet good with asa .

Found experimenting with different settings in the prusa slicer helped improved prints.

Make sure you tension your belts enough to begin with , as the manual although good can be easy to make mistake . Needs to be abit like a guitar string twang . There is a belt tension test when its up and running. Especially on the extruder belt.

Worth using a level on the smooth rods to check horizontal position on the threaded rods before set up.

Also on heated bed to check machine is level.
