ASA Filament

ASA (Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate) Filament 

The 3D4MAKERS ASA Filament will be delivered in a vacuum packaging in our recyclable box. 

Technical information:

Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate (ASA) polymers are amorphous and have mechanical properties similar to those of ABS plastics. However, the ASA properties are far less affected by outdoor weathering. The outstanding weather resistance abilities of ASA is due to the acrylic ester elastomer. ASA parts have good chemical and heat resistance, and high impact strength, even at low temperatures. Typical ASA applications are buiding/construction, automotive and recreation parts.

To get the best results while printing we advise you to keep the 3D printer in a room where there is hardly any draft and/or temperature fluctuations. Keep the 3D printer out of the sun. This cannot be a room where people sleep.

When the 3D printer is not being used it is important to keep the 3D4MAKERS ASA Filament in a bag and stored in a cool, dry and dark place until it is used again.
