Experience Durability with Black ASA Prime

ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is a thermoplastic 3D printing material that is perfect in many ways and is suitable for many different applications. It has a similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but offers three notable improvements: better mechanical properties, it is naturally UV resistant, and it simply produces amazing finished prints. Coex 3D offers ASA in the same colors as our ABS giving you 11 colors to choose from and is available in both 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameters in varying spool sizes. 

Although ASA can safely be printed using an open bed printer, it is still recommended to print ASA in an enclosed printer which will allow parts to cool slowly and uniformly which helps to prevent shrinkage and warping. 

Coex 3D’s ASA products are made with 100% virgin resin and high-quality colorants with no added fillers.  All Coex 3D filament is made in our production facility in Green Bay, WI, USA using industrial-grade extruders and laser measuring quality control to ensure quality and consistency with every spool.   

Looking for a high-performance 3D printing polymer that provides excellent UV stability and weather resistance? Look no further than Black ASA Prime, the perfect choice for your 3D printing needs.

Our Black ASA Prime is an Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) polymer that is specifically formulated for 3D printing. It offers the ideal balance of mechanical strength, toughness, stiffness, and weather resistance that you can rely on for extended periods.

Black ASA Prime is well-suited for outdoors and automotive applications thanks to its exceptional weather resistance and UV stability. Our ASA polymer is perfect for creating functional prototypes, end-use parts, and low-volume production runs.

If you are looking for a material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, retain its color and mechanical properties in direct sunlight, and provide long-lasting performance, then Black ASA Prime is the right choice for you. With its easy-to-print characteristics and excellent layer adhesion, this ASA filament offers great value for money.

Get your hands on Black ASA Prime today and experience the optimal balance of rigidity, toughness, UV resistance, and weather ability. Buy now and start creating durable, high-quality 3D prints that will last for years to come!

 

Recommended Print Settings

Coex 3D recommends the following print settings when printing with our ASA. Settings will vary depending on your specific printing setup.

  • Hotend Temperature: 235 °C - 245 °C
    • Important! This temperature range may seem hotter than you're used to for other ASA filaments. Using 100% virgin resin causes our ASA to require slightly higher printing temperatures.
  • Heated Bed Temperature: 80 °C - 1000 °C
  • Recommended Build Surfaces/Adhesives
    • Glass Build Surface
    • PEI Build Surface
    • Magigoo
    • Painter's Tape
    • Glue Stick
    • ABS slurry
  • Cooling Fan: Recommended. 
  • Enclosure: Recomended to prevent warping
  • Drying: ASA filament is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air if not stored in a dry environment. If this happens, you may experience under-extrusion/inconsistent extrusion or excess stringing. You may also hear a "popping" sound coming from the hotend during printing. We recommend drying our ASA at 65 °C for at least 3 hours if it has been exposed to excess humidity.

Tolerance: At Coex 3D, we use multi axis laser measuring heads to ensure a tolerance of ±.03mm.

Quality: All Coex 3D printer filament is manufactured in our Green Bay, WI production facility. This allows us to ensure consistent quality for every spool through control of every aspect of the manufacturing process.

Packaging: Every spool of Coex 3D filament is thoroughly dried in our industrial dryer before being sealed. Spools are sealed with desiccant in a 4mil thick vacuum bag.

Tested: Coex 3D doesn't just sell filament, we use it on a daily basis. Our 50+ 3D printers are constantly running with our filament. We rely on our quality as much as our customers do.

Black ASA

This is my first time using ASA filament. I wanted something more durable than PLA so thought I'd give this a go. I had an absolute fit getting this to stick on a PEI bed. Started out using the smooth side, so I flipped it to the textured side. That helped some but the print was still warping away from the bed and letting go in the first few layers. Washed the build plate with dish soap and raised the bed to get some serious squish and added a brim and that seemed to do the trick. It did eventually let go and the print failed about 2/3 of the way through. In fairness it's a tough print to get to hold on. Small area at the base and a pretty tall part.

I need to size the print up larger and retry it. I'll add some more brim and double check the first layer squish. I'm also not using an enclosure so that's working against me. I'm close enough that I'm satisfied with the results. I think some tweaking will get me a full print. What did print looks very good.

I'm not going to fault the filament. It's my first time printing with ASA so there's a learning curve I'm working my way through. I also know that an enclosure would help me out, but I don't have one and it's not strictly "required". I'm willing to bet that the issues I'm having are due to my own inexperience with ASA. Just trying to give a complete review of what I am experiencing. Your mileage may vary...

Thanks Scott - without a doubt your struggles are coming from trying to print without an enclosure! You don't need to spend a ton of money on anything fancy- put a cardboard box over the printer once you start the print! Honestly, it may sound primitive but it will get the job done.
