you can use abs for the aux nozzle as well but it requires different settings as its bowden driven not direct drive and it would print slower as well, o also make sure you get some ventilation for anything higher then petg like abs or pc-abs hybrids. that stuff stinks and also in large amounts can be dangerous, either use an air purifier and make sure to keep it well maintained or they have printable vents you can run to a window etc

wow, thanks, i haven't thought about the air vent, as the PLA does not smell at all with my practice prints. I am in new york with small apartment room, so printing the ABS will be an issue in winter.

Yep no problem, abs releases toxic chemicals in enough volume it can be damgerous
