Yeah, my experience is nearer Kos's than Ant's, but different machines & I'm a novice. There's a stratification which doesn't matter in a sympathetic plane, but weakens the object (a bit) cross-grain.

I've not done any tests of strength, or made anything that will take a load, but I imagine yours and Kos's experience is right. My stuff "seems" strong, but layer/wall height definitely makes a different to the perception of strength.
My first successful print of something with 4 legs requiring a brim and supports. A few failures to get to this point. The banding round the middle isn't great.
Playing happily, Ant, though I've had a spot of trouble with failed prints after using a 'woodfill' filament - it seems to have clogged up my nozzles, J.
I've been making objects that are, nominally at least, vases.
I keep the left extruder for PLA at the moment and the right for ABS, but in time I'm going to have to try dividing a model into zones and printing two-tone in different PLA filaments.

A few bits that I've recently made/printed. I've been going for practical over decorative.
Designed a mount/holder for the webcam pointed at my electric meter. Gone from it being taped to some cardboard with leds to it mounted nicely. Fully designed by me on tinkercad (not that it's complex)
I've also printed a few bits for camera mounts. I designed the kitchen timer mount, and added the gopro mount to the g-clamp design from thingiverse.
