We've made several prints with this new material and we are all very impressed!
The colours are really nice and extremely vivid (even the darker ones are very expressive) and the strength of the material is incredible.
They printed perfectly fine on a Replicator 2 (bear in mind ColorFabb filament is mostly PLA with some additives to improve its properties.)
So all in all, we love it, it prints as good (if not better!) than pure PLA, it's less brittle and slightly more flexible, making it even stronger than PLA for most applications.
If you want learn more about "Printing with PLA vs ABS demystified," see our post here:

We've really been enjoying all of the test prints...
What a group of handsome-looking owls and bolts we have.
