INTRODUCTION:

ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is known as a perfect all-purpose 3D printing thermoplastic, suitable for various applications. It has a similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but provides three improvements: Excellent mechanical properties, Superior aesthetics, UV resistant, ASA material also comes in many colours, more than any other FDM material.

Tips provided to achieve good ASA Printing: 

1. Preferred Printing temperature is 220-260 ºC and hot bed temperature is 90-110ºC (required)

2. If has printing difficulty, turn off cooling fan and print at slow printing speed between 20-35mm/s. Bowden feeding is totally all right.

3. Good first layer: minimize the gap between nozzle tip and hot bed as closely as possible and print on masking tape/ PEI sheet/glass bed with PVC glue/slurry/har spray or other feasible agent.

HIGHLIGHTS: 

- Odorless and little shrinkage rate;

- Hydrophobicity (Will not absorb water and as such clog the extruders);

- Outstanding toughness and high impact strength;

- Good liquidity (flows smoothly);

- High mehanical strength and excellent flexibility;

- High transparency and Good gloss
