Bryan - I have not had a problem with those breaking. I don't think... I'll check.

I have the same/ was thinking the same. Although I've switched to an LED (relatively cool) and still no problems with ABS. ABS is my go-to. -I moved away from PLA within a week of getting the printer, years ago.

I also was thinking about some may have issue with their hotend not actually being at the temp they think it is. Others tell of set-up temp's but really there are a lot of variables there, including how the software handles the lag in temp sensing/heating.
To damp the heat/sensing swings (and inherent lag) I've added extra insulation to the hotend and tip.
