I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?
I've printed probably 5 kilos worth of prints with a lot of success, but exclusively PLA. I'd like to branch out to a new material. Should I start with ABS or TPU?

TPU is a fun one. Touch, extremely flexible, but not stretchy.
Don't try to feed it with a bowden tube; you need a direct drive extruder. Other than that, it's incredibly easy to work with.
I've printed plenty of different mid density tpu's including random no name ones with generic profiles, using the Prusa Mini with its Bowden tube. It's not always a no no.
