ABS or PET for Replacement Extruder Parts?
I'm printing some backup extruder parts to have on hand in case something on mine breaks. Do you guys prefer using ABS for the extruder or PET? I know PET has decent resistance to warpage caused by creep, but ABS has much better heat resistance for parts like the fan shroud. Any suggestions?

Printers come from the factory with all PETG except for the ABS fan shroud. Seems to work fine.

MK3 parts are designed for PETG. If you print it ABS, you will get smaller dimensions.
Printed mine in PETG without any issues.
