About this product
About Prusament ASA ASA is a technical material with properties similar to ABS but better in several ways. Compared to ABS, it’s UV stable, it doesn’t suffer from shrinking so badly and the fumes produced are much less noticeable. ASA 3D prints are durable, tough and suitable for a wide range of applications. ASA comes with much better high-temperature resistance than other common materials, such as PLA or PETG. It shows no signs of deformation up to temperatures near 93 °C. Thanks to all these properties, ASA is especially suitable for printing objects meant for long-time outside use. ASA printing requires specific conditions for successful results. It’s important to run the prints in a well-ventilated room, because the material releases fumes and substances that could pose a potential health risk. However, when ventilating the room, do not create a draft around the print – this will negatively impact the result. Print sheet preparation For ASA printing, we recommend using the satin spring steel sheet. With the powder-coated or smooth sheet, the adhesion of the material can be too strong, which could potentially result in damage to the surface of the sheet. The textured and PEI smooth spring sheet preparation is easy: simply clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and apply glue. To remove the print, wait until it cools down – it will then pop off easily.
