How long does 1lb of plastic abs last for you guys

[michaellatif]

Depends on what you print. I used up a 1kg, ~2.2lb spool in about 2 months. This was with printing every 2-3 days, small to medium sized objects.
I just recently put in an order for 3 1kg spools from Ultimachine, so far they have the best consistency and quality of ABS that I have found.

FWIW I have one bad spool of PLA from ultimachine, I cannot get the transparent Blue PLA I bought from them to print consistently at all.
But for the most part the plastic I've bought from them has been good.
I have several Kg's of PLA from reraper.com which has very low prices but I have yet to try printing with any of it.
It took me about 1 month to go through the first Kilo.
