Results with ABS and MMU2S

Curious as to folks results using ABS with the MMU2S. I've heard that ABS isn't sensitive to cause the bad tips causing load/unload issues like with PLA & PETG. I'm in a full, heated, enclosure so ambient temp isn't' an issue for me but haven't seen much on ABS with the MMU2S.

Also, what is the "go-to" soluble support for ABS? I've gathered that HIPS can be dissolved with limonene but then I need a vat filled with chemicals for my supports. Is there a "good" water soluble that sticks to ABS and prints around it's temperature?

ABS is actually working pretty good with MMU2. PETG is way more stringy.

RE: Results with ABS and MMU2S

I've printed a lot of ABS on my MMU, and it works just fine. All the usual problems with ABS (warping and cracking) apply of course.

I don't know anyone who has actually tried printing with HIPS as soluble support. There was a lot of excitement about the idea a few years ago but I haven't heard much about it lately. I did hear some frustration in forums that HIPS isn't as soluble as it's cracked up to be.
