What is 3DPower ASA?
The 3D printer filament 3DPower ASA (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate) is an engineering-grade material that offers excellent resistance to UV rays, moisture, and atmospheric conditions. It ensures stability and durability of 3D printed parts even with prolonged outdoor use or in harsh climatic conditions. With ASA, you get high quality, precision, and reliability in every print.
Key advantages of 3DPower ASA filament:
-
UV resistance: Maintains the excellent appearance and strength of your parts with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
-
Minimal shrinkage: Reduces the risk of deformation and warping of parts during printing to a minimum.
-
Excellent strength: Offers high impact resistance and stability, suitable for functional and structural elements.
-
Chemical resistance: Suitable for use in environments with oils and moderately aggressive chemicals.
Recommended printing settings:
-
Filament diameter: 1.75 mm (±0.03 mm)
-
Weight of the spool: 1 kg
-
Printing temperature: 230°C - 245°C
-
Platform temperature: 80°C - 105°C
-
Printing speed: 40 - 100 mm/s
-
Cooling: 0% - 40% (according to the needs of the model)
-
Enclosed chamber: Recommended when printing large parts to reduce warping
Applications and suitable use of 3DPower ASA:
The ASA filament is extremely suitable for:
-
Casing and parts used outdoors
-
Automotive components and panels
-
Garden and architectural elements
-
Parts for household appliances exposed to high temperatures and UV radiation
-
Durable and weather-resistant advertising elements
Tips for proper storage:
To maintain the optimal quality of your ASA filament, it is recommended to store it in a dry place protected from direct sunlight. For prolonged storage, it is good practice to use a desiccant or to dry the material periodically (about 4-6 hours at a temperature of ~60°C).
