So, if I'm getting this right, the toughest material you can extrusion print is pure ABS http://www.efunda.com/materials/polymers/properties/polymer_datasheet.cfm?MajorID=ABS&MinorID=1 .

How does a printed part fare in term of tensile strength, rigidness and so on? Do different ways it is filled out matter, speed of printing, etc?

Thanks for the answer. That information had always evaded me.

Learning G-code at the moment, and I was wondering what does 3d-extruder code look like. I've understood that is what most of these printers use, please correct me if I'm wrong. If someone would happen to have a short full code for a part could you post it/copy it to pastebin?

Here's gcode for a 10mm cube if that's what you're after. No raft or anything fancy, though of course there are commands for turning on the heaters, etc.

The outside surface is solid but the inside of the cube is a grid "honeycomb" pattern.

Hmm, interesting. There are similarities, but the code for makerbot is a tad harder to read than mill/lathe code for a Fanuc controller. Ton of simple G1 movement on the makerbot. Might be a matter of getting used to it I guess. Here's a sample of a milling code for Fanuc 6m:
