...after an extended period of PETG, and I have to say I think my favorite part is after the print ends and the bed starts to cool off and the snap/crackle/pop of the piece coming off on it's own. Such a pleasant ASMR experience.

Highly recommend..

Personally, I like when ABS comes in a pack of 6 spools so I can joke about getting 6 pack ABS.

That snap and crackle is also great to hear as your layers come apart

Then your ambient air while printing is too cold. You need a chamber with >40°C

But besides the ASMR is it better than PETG (considering building a fume hood for abs) and what brand.

ASA is a bit more audible than PETG, but PETG prints would also become very lose once my bed was cooled down.
