Does anyone know where there is a wholesale location to purchase abs and pla plastic? I can see the prices for the 1.75mm wire is high. I have a MakerGear M2.
Any help would be appreciated

The filament from Ultimachine is excellent https://ultimachine.com/. The Chinese stuff is cheaper but it's crap.

It depends how much you want to buy, how you want it spooled, and what colors you use. Surprisingly, I have found that Amazon is a pretty good source. (Be careful, sometimes a search for PLA filament has some ABS on it, and vice versa.) Since I subscribe to the shipping (Prime) I don't pay incrementally for 2 day delivery. PLA, and now ABS from Just PLA is pretty good, now that they have their quality under control. SainSmart has some of the colors that are hard to find, but you pay a few dollars extra. However, if you are looking for 5 or 10 kg, you'll have to go elsewhere. http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Printing_Material_Suppliers has an extensive list of suppliers. Ultimachine seems to have a wider variety of materials than other sites.

I use https://rainbot3d.com/. They have a good selection and I haven't had any problems with their filaments. They also have the color changing ones based on heat, so case for phone is nice can see where your hands where

I've had good luck with toybuilders.com. Good choice of colors and excellent customer service.

Just received $500 of PLA from Repraper of China. So far, only used the gold, the filament has been good. With shipping the cost per spool was $22.50

thank you for sources and replys.
