ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate)
- similar to ABS
- perfect for outside use
- UV stable, high water and impact resistant
- high impact and wear resistance
- easy postprocessing (it’s possible to sand the prints using wet or dry sanding methods, smooth them out with acetone vapors, and glue them together with acetone)
- ideal for prototyping, outside use as well as the automotive and engineering industries

PRINTING SETUP
Nozzle: 240 - 260 °C
Heatbed: 100 - 110 °C

ADVANTAGES:
✅ excellent mechanical resistance
✅ great for outside use – UV stable
✅ replacement for ABS
✅ good dimensional stability
✅ high impact and wear resistance
✅ detailed prints without a stringing effect
✅ can be smoothed with acetone vapors
✅ soluble in acetone – can be used for gluing
✅ can be easily sanded / post-processed

DISADVANTAGES:
❌ produces odors during printing (less than ABS)
❌ high printing temperatures (closed chamber)
