ABS is a non-starter on any open frame printer unless it's very small parts or you use gigantic rafts. More trouble than it's worth. But the A10 prints PLA perfectly. I've used Hatchbox, eSun, Proto-pasta, Solutech, Amazon basics, and Inland PLA and they all print well on various A10s. The only brand I had some issues with on a regular basis is Stronghero.
Wood PLA and CarbonFiber PLA also work pretty well after some tuning. PETG has only been partially successful due to the high temperatures required and the A10's small hot end heatsink.
If you print a temperature tower to tune your retraction and temperature settings, PLA will print beautifully all day
not had any real issues with TPU/PETG other than was not quite as nice a finish as other filaments.. so a little further tweaking of the settings is required...
As too wood we just used same settings for pla and dropped temp a little.
No retract
Yep no retraction.. but on a side note we have now started tinkering with retraction and is producing slightly and I do mean slightly better results for wood filament but not done anything yet with TPU.. But to be honest it was actually great anyway on wood filament.
