Hi Adrianl3d,
Being also a beginner I use both ABS and PLA. ABS is a bit of a trial and needs everything set correctly for a perfect plot.
I learned a lot from experimenting with ABS, not just the printing but about my machine and the design software interaction.
Although I have a dual head machine I only set the second head to the correct height after getting repeatable print results.
Printing with PLA afterwards was simple and a lot more forgiving "every one a winner". Try ABS and if you keep at it you will learn a lot more about 3D printing, I certanly did.
