I'm jealous. People don't send me random 3d printers. I'm just muddling along with my Maker Select v2. 
Heh, I'm actually not sure what I'd do if I did get a larger printer. I don't have a ton of space, and my enclosure already takes up most of the spare flat surfaces. It'd give me a lot more motivation to properly reorganize my living space and get rid of some of the clutter, I suppose. I've been tempted to build a Hypercube or one of those Mk2 clones I mentioned last time. (The main reason I haven't is because I still don't think the Mk42 heated bed -- or even clones -- are available.)
Though if Josef Prusa contacted me and said he was sending me a Prusa i3 Mk3 (which was just announced today at Maker Faire New York), or even a Mk2, he'd have a "Shut up and take my address" reply in seconds.
My printer is a Prusa layout just like the CR-10 is, and in fact the CR-10 appears to use a control box that is a near clone of the one on my printer, and the same nozzle. I can print ABS on mine, though I don't do much of it because the printer lives in my bedroom and fumes are an issue. As a result, I've done some successful parts but never really mastered bed adhesion with ABS on large flat parts, for example. The back of Artie's original controller was going to be printed in ABS, but the print failed in several ways, so I eventually reprinted in PLA.
I really need to print a strain relief part for the printer's heatbed wires, though, and that'll require ABS, so I'm tempted to do Treadwell's eyeboxes at the same time, so he'll be better protected from a hot vehicle during transport.
