Thanks.
From what I've gathered higher MFR helps extrude the pellets into filament faster. But how good the resulting filament is is not clear. And by that I mean how it adheres to the bed, how the layers bond, print warping, etc. I can't find any info if some ABS types are no good because of properties resulting in the above.
The pellets I have access to are used for injection molding if that helps.

The problem is there are so many variables, like the extruder I'll be using myself or the hotend or the A/B/S ratio and extra agents in my specific ABS pellets, that I don't think I'll have a good evidence or proof for anything even after hours of tests prints by myself.Quote

But in short : Ask for a sample, extrude it and print with it.
Would be really cool if you'd have some links or something backing up this. That would pretty much answer my question in my opinion.Quote
PS All ABS in 3d printing extruding are also used in injection molding as far as I know.
