PRUSAMENT ASA 0.85kg 1.75mm Sapphire Blue

When it comes to the development of new technology, the field of 3D printing is ever-changing. PRUSAMENT ASA Jet Black is one of the newest examples of such evolution. It reaches new places that no filaments have ever gone before.

ASA Defined

Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) is a revolution of thermoplastics. Born from the popular acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), ASA carries many of its qualities, while improving upon its deficiencies.

PRUSAMENT

Prusa filament is a specially-made in-house ASA blend. Crafted with meticulous oversight and monitoring, it’s a tested and proven material that delivers the quality and stability you would expect from Prusa.

A Colorful Description

ASA prints are known for durability and heat resistance, holding their shapes and keeping their shades. Offering a scope of consistent colors, ASA has an incomparable UV resistance. This negates yellowing, which is a common issue with ABS.

Weatherproof

In addition to holding up in the sun, another wonderful feature of ASA is its waterproof nature. This makes it a suitable material for printing projects meant for extensive outdoor use, including:

• Gardening and sporting equipment
• Signs
• Parts and fixtures
• Housing and automotive details

Texture

ASA filament creates pieces without the stringiness common in some other thermoplastics, making for a smooth finish. Plus, these items can be sanded or treated with acetone for an even brighter surface.

Other Highlights of ASA

Resistant to both chemicals and high impacts, ASA is one of the most durable thermoplastics. It is also anti-static and recyclable.

What to Watch Out For

Though less than ABS, ASA does tend to emit odors and fumes when printing. Therefore, it is best to keep the area well-ventilated. Nevertheless, the printer itself needs to retain its heat, because ASA requires a high temperature to function.
