Hi,
Kinda new to the M2 (arrived earlier in the week), but since I had some filament left over from my old printer, I've been giving it a shot and getting brilliant results with it too.
The filament I have is MAXX Economy ABS Tooth White - bought from the vendor of the old printer via
http://www.lpfrg.com/en/products/filaments (I hope the mods don't mind me linking to a competitor - I really can't vouch for their printers, but this filament has at least checked out well on the M2).
The shipping costs of a spool to Belgium was about 6 euro and it arrived (I think) the day after ordering it. However, they messed up and sent me Jungle Green instead - when I offered to return it in exchange for the ordered filament, they apologised profusely and sent me a replacement, suggesting that it was up to me if I want to send it back or keep it. I've elected to keep it

, but as yet I haven't tried it.
In case anyone wants to try it, I'm using slic3r with the following settings:
Filament diameter 1.89
Extrusion multiplier 0.9
Initial bed 110 degrees, dropping to 100 after the first layer
Initial extruder 240 degrees, dropping to 230 after the first layer
Fans off
I've jury-rigged an enclosure for the printer using the cardboard box which the m2 arrived in

- temporary measure until I can find time to get to Ikea. Using kapton tape on the bed, cleaned with acetone between prints. No warping, no cracking, sticks to the bed really well - been flawless since arriving at the right settings anyway.
Might give their PLA a try at some point (and Jungle Green ABS of course) - will post more info if anyone is interested.
AFAICT, MAXX are a US company and have a few outlets in the states, but lpfrg seem to be their dealer in Europe.
