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.

"Jinos 3D Filament” is pretty cheap. I started using them during the pandemic when it was hard to find PETG. Seem to be a small place in North Carolina that manufactures mostly for their own use? Sometimes they take a couple of days to ship.

They sell mostly on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382556327412

[Edit: Just re-read that you’re looking for ABS/ASA - I don’t think Jinos does those, unfortunately]
