Polymaker ASA Filament 1.75mm Jet Black, 1kg ASA 3D Printing Filament, Heat & Weather Resistant - ASA 3D Printer Filament Perfect for Printing Outdoor Functional Parts

I've been using Polymaker filaments for various 3D printing projects, and I can confidently say that the quality I get from their ASA filament is nothing short of exceptional. Whether I'm printing complex designs or simple parts, the consistency and reliability of Polymaker ASA never disappoint.The filament flows smoothly, with minimal warping and excellent layer adhesion, even on larger prints. I've used it to print several outdoor items, including a custom Starlink mount, and the results have been outstanding. The filament produces a beautiful, matte finish that gives my prints a professional look right off the printer. It's also incredibly durable and resistant to UV light, making it perfect for outdoor applications.Another aspect I appreciate is the minimal odor during printing. Polymaker ASA has a much lower odor compared to other filaments I've used, which is a significant plus for long printing sessions.Overall, Polymaker continues to impress me with the quality of their filaments. If you're looking for a filament that delivers consistent, high-quality results every time, I highly recommend Polymaker ASA.

This is my first Polymaker filament and it is fantastic. One safety note before delving into the review:** Styrene in ASA (and also ABS) produces toxic fumes when 3D printed. Please ensure you have a well ventilated area where you plan on printing. **Pros:- Prints very well, and easily. I would compare it to PLA in terms of how easily it prints.- Seems to be much stronger and resistant to snapping when bending (with respect to PLA).- Can withstand higher temperatures and UV.- With respect to ABS, the fumes are lessened.- ASA prints with more of a satin to matte type of appearance.- The black color is interesting in the sense that it seems to pick up on colors around it.Cons:- ASA specific: Toxic fumes when printing, higher heat bed required, more prone to warping, enclosure possibly needed- Possible con: The filament on a new spool seems to be wider in diameter with respect to other manufacturers. If you happen to have a Bambu Lab AMS with filament guides (mod), you may have issues with retraction when completing a project. Note: This comment is regarding the overall diameter of the filament on the spool, not the filament itself.I had shied away from ASA and ABS with the preconceived notion that it would be more finicky than PETG. I was pleasantly surprised that is much easier! Polymaker will definitely be a go to from now on!If you're remotely interested - get it!

My first attempt at printing anything other than PLA. There was a bit of a learning curve, but it worked great. Babysit it for a couple of small prints and it should be pretty easy to dial in.Bed adhesion seems to work well with a textured PEI plate, 110 degrees, with a brim. It will pop itself off if you allow the bed to cool to room temperature. I haven't tried any large prints and I'm not sure how much I would trust the bed adhesion without glue for something large.Parts seem very durable. Color is a fairly close match to Magpul FDE.Printed at 255 degrees on a Flashforge Adventurer 5m. No fan for first 3 layers, 15% fan for the next 20 or so, 50%-100% fan for the rest. Printer is in a Creality zip-up enclosure, feeding filament from a Creality Drybox 2.0. I use the Drybox as more of a spool holder than anything else, so it wasn't on for the first 12 hours or so of the filament being out of the package. I printed several times successfully, but then it started to have some significant stringing, so I turned the Drybox on to 60 degrees. Stringing decreased after the Drybox ran for a while. So it seems like this stuff needs to be kept pretty dry. That or I messed up that one print and it was just a coincidence. Idk. (Edit: turns out my retraction setting was too low, so the stringing was most likely user error)For what it's worth, I was printing it at 300mm/s, which is way faster than it advertises, and I managed to get pretty decent parts with no clogging. But I was also printing relatively small parts that were designed to be easily printable. Your mileage may vary.I'm quite happy with this filament and would order it again.

Slightly skeptical at first but now a believer. Hot and Slow but absolutely beautiful. No strange odor at all. Smooth and strong. Not going back to ABS when ASA is the new future. Plus added benefits of UV protection etc;. I am so impressed I am going to use ASA in place of PLA, significantly better at about the same price point. This brand rocks also.

I really like Polymaker ASA. It doesn't warp much if you have an enclosure and good bed adhesion, it's strong and tough, prints overhangs better than most.The only thing I don't like is that their "army green" color is quite a bit lighter and yellower than actual OD Green, as shown in the photo (an army green print on a military surplus equipment case). Their "olive brown" is pretty close to FDE, though, and the other colors are fine. They just need to change the army green to something close to the actual green the military uses.

This is the easiest ASA I've ever printed. It's as easy as the old ABS+ from eSun before they messed up the formula. The Polymaker print came out beautiful like all the photos in the reviews. Super strong, great layer adhesion. and flex like ABS without snapping. It's on the expensive side but if you catch it on sale it is well worth the money. I've thrown out all my eSun ABS+ and replaced my printing with Polymaker ASA.

ASA de bonne qualité, je l'utilise sur X1 et A1 sans problèmes. J'utilise le profil Polymaker prévu dans Bambu Studio

Lässt sich in einem geschlossenem Drucker super verarbeiten.

Druck Super auf dem X1C und ist mega stabil.

L'ASA (Acrilonitrile Stirene Acrilato) si è rivelato un materiale decisamente superiore rispetto al PLA, specialmente per applicazioni che richiedono una maggiore resistenza agli agenti atmosferici e ai raggi UV. Da quando ho iniziato a utilizzarlo, ho notato un netto miglioramento nella qualità delle stampe, tanto che ora lo preferisco per la maggior parte dei miei progetti.Una delle maggiori qualità dell'ASA è la sua durabilità, rendendolo perfetto per oggetti destinati all'esterno o a condizioni più stressanti. Tuttavia, a differenza del PLA, l'ASA emette odori più forti durante la stampa, e questi possono risultare fastidiosi se si stampa in una stanza chiusa e senza adeguata ventilazione. Ho notato che, senza una camera chiusa, la stampa può essere comunque soddisfacente, anche se l'uso di uno spazio ben ventilato è altamente consigliato per evitare mal di testa o altri disagi dovuti ai fumi.Dopo vari test, ho trovato che una temperatura del nozzle a 245°C e del piano di stampa a 95°C rappresentano il "sweet spot" per ottenere risultati ottimali: ottima adesione al piatto, poche o nessuna deformazione, e una finitura impeccabile. Questo settaggio funziona perfettamente con il filamento ASA di Polymaker, che sto considerando di adottare definitivamente per le mie future stampe.In conclusione, sebbene richieda qualche accorgimento in più rispetto al PLA, l'ASA è un materiale che eleva la qualità complessiva delle stampe, rendendolo una scelta ideale per chi cerca resistenza e affidabilità nei propri progetti di stampa 3D.
