Transition Mystery Color ASA PrimeFilament
Our transition color ASA Prime filament is the same high quality ASA Prime filament that our customers trust but in "mystery colors." These varying colors are the result of our changeovers from one of our standard color to another during production of our filament and cannot be reproduced. While supplies last. Items are not returnable or refundable due to color.
Note: These are not a rainbow filament. The color change in each spool will vary and be very gradual.
*This product is limited to availability as we make changeovers. If you cannot add it to your cart, we are sorry, but we are out of stock.
Recommended Print Settings
Coex 3D recommends the following print settings when printing with our ASA Prime. 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.

- Heated Bed Temperature: 80 °C - 100 °C
- Recommended Build Surfaces/Adhesives
- Glass Build Surface
- PEI Build Surface
- Magigoo
- Painter's Tape
- Glue Stick
- ABS slurry
- Cooling Fan: Recommended.
- Enclosure: Recommended to prevent warping
- Drying: ASA Prime 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 Prime at 65 °C for at least 3 hours if it has been exposed to excess humidity.
Technical Printing Guide - COEX ASA Prime
1. Material Notes
- Keep filament dry - store properly and dry before use
- If needed, dry at 75°C for 3 hours or more
- Enclosure is necessary
- Use Z-offset slightly higher than PLA (+0.05mm)
- Enable "Avoid crossing perimeters" to reduce stringing
- Consider using the "Wipe while retract" option
- Enable "Slow down for small perimeters."
- Print outer walls slower for better quality
- Use a minimum layer time of 30 seconds for small parts
- Consider using "Extra Prime Amount" after retraction
2. Temperature Settings
Bed Temperature: 80-100°C
- Wash the bed often for good adhesion - Use dish soap and rinse thoroughly to remove oils
- Use bed adhesion products if necessary (gluestick, WELD3D)
- Use brim for tall or large prints
- Keep the ambient temperature stable
Extruder Temperature: 245-265°C

5. Retraction Settings
IMPORTANT: Set travel speed to the maximum your machine allows (200-500mm/s). Faster movements reduce filament oozing time, minimizing stringing.
| Nozzle | Distance | Speed | Z-Hop |
| 0.4mm | 1.0-1.5mm | 40mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 0.6mm | 1.0-1.5mm | 40mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 0.8mm | 1.0-1.5mm | 40mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 1.0mm | 1.0-1.5mm | 40mm/s | 0.2mm |
6. Cooling Settings
Cooling Configuration:
-
- First Layer: 0% (fan off)
- General Printing: 100% base fan speed
- Bridges and Overhangs: 100% fan speed
- Layers < 15 seconds: 100% fan speed
7. Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Solution |
| Irregular extrusion |
1. Dry the filament 2. Check the extruder 3. Reduce speed |
| Poor adhesion |
1. Dry the filament 2. Use adhesive 3. Adjust the first layer |
| Stringing |
1. Dry the filament 2. Adjust retraction 3. Increase travel speed 4. Check temperature |
PLEASE NOTE: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment depending on your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions, and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use these settings as a starting point and fine-tune them according to your specific needs.
