I read in the makerbot operators group that village plastics is the supplier for Makerbot so they probably sell ABS. I requested a quote. I'll see what their response is. There's also another supplier that I found there: [www.abbeon.com]. They sell natural ABS for $57 for a 5 lb coil. Ultimaker's price is lower at $45 but they're out of stock.

I received a reply from them. Both of them have 3 mm ABS in stock for around $40 and $50 per 5 pound coil, respectively in their stock colors.

Also request material data sheets. 'ABS' has an incredibly wide range of properties, depending on just which resin you're using. Makerbot uses PA-747, Stratasys uses injection mold resins (MG94 and such).

MG47 prints much better on a Stratasys machine than PA-747 does. The biggest difference between the two is that the MG47 has a much higher melt flow rate (you can push the material through a nozzle much more easily at a given temperature).
