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 Salsa Red ASA Prime, the perfect choice for your 3D printing needs.
Our Salsa Red 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.
Salsa Red ASA Prime is well-suited for outdoor 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 Salsa Red 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 Salsa Red 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: 245 °C - 265 °C (High Speed: 255 °C - 275 °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.
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.
At this point, I have printed maybe close to 15 kg of ASA Prime in several colors. I am a HUGE fan of this material. It is some of the nicest ASA I have ever printed. With that said, I am not a huge fan of this specific red color. It is somewhat pale with maybe a hint of orange. I think it could more accurately be called "salmon" red (or maybe their favorite salsa is just different than the stuff I normally buy). For reference, the attached picture shows a part printed with this material sitting on a storage box lid that is more of a true red. I still have to give it 5 stars because, like I said, this filament is awesome and maybe someone else wants this kind of red.
