As I'm graduating college in a few weeks, I'll be losing access to my university's free printers and filament. I'm going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff.

Who's your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college's club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don't want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.

In USA I usually get Printed solid's Jesse and 3D Printing Canada's Budget PLA. I also pick up a couple rolls of Inland any time I'm by my local Microcenter

Filament sourcing is pretty region specific. Where are you buying from?
