FLASHFORGE ASA Filament 1.75mm Black, 3D Printer Filament 1kg (2.2lbs) Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, Durable, High UV-Resistant, Perfect for Printing Outdoor Functional Parts

This has become one of my regular ASA filaments for functional prints. I have moved away from PLA and PETG entirely at this point. Swapping filaments between projects is more hassle than it is worth, and the non-engineering filaments tend to get brittle and unreliable after just a few months sitting on the shelf. ASA holds up over time and prints I made months ago still look and perform like the day they came off the bed. Dimensional accuracy on this filament has been consistent. The advertised tolerance feels accurate based on the parts I have printed, and dimensions come out true to the model without needing to compensate in the slicer. The spool itself is wound cleanly with no tangles or weird behavior during long prints. Print quality has been solid across a range of settings. Layer adhesion is strong, the surface finish is clean, and the black color is a true black rather than a washed out gray. UV resistance is the main reason to reach for ASA in the first place, and parts I have placed outdoors have held up well without the yellowing or surface degradation you get with cheaper outdoor filaments. One important note for anyone new to ASA. Ventilation is not optional. The fumes during printing are noticeably stronger than PLA or PETG, and you should always print in a well ventilated space or with a proper enclosure that vents outside. Take care of yourself and set up your workspace properly before diving in. For anyone printing functional or outdoor parts, this is a reliable choice that has earned a spot in my regular rotation. Good filament at a fair price.

I'm fairly new to 3D printing but I did my research and found that this brand was considered middle of the road for quality and price. All my prints have come out well using this brand and I have no complaints. The flow and flexibility are great. The companies transparency of the specs right on the side of each spool is a nice touch I thought.

Picked it up on a whim on sale, needing to do some outdoor ready prints. It took me a little to get it dialed in, but it was printing pretty well out of the box with default Bambu Labs ASA settings. I eventually calibrated it an enjoy a 29mm^3/s max flow rate in my stock 0.4 nozzle which allows for some blazing print speeds. It became my default ABS/ASA choice and I've gone through several rolls. It off-gasses like other ASA, so have ventilation and/or carbon filters. It also can warp, but not quite as much as ABS. I find high aspect ratio parts, or parts with curved, filleted, or relieved edges can benefit from brims, although most parts can get by with simple mouse ears at corners which take less post processing. It works well with salt remelting (the surface finish will be much different than stock, very matte and much lighter) and acetone smoothing.

Worst filament I have ever used. It looks cool but there's absolutely zero adhesion. I've being trying setting after setting to see if I could have a successful print. 100% of them failed at some point. I have spent tow days to get to print something, a dozen tries, all of them failed. Wish I could just return but was saving this ASA that is supposed to be stronger for when I needed. Bed too cold it doesn't stick at all, bed too hot it just slides, bed mid temp it warps. With glue it sticks a bit better until it fails, without glue it sticks somewhat until it fails. I even tried to use magnets to hold the part by the brim and still slid sideways. Horrible. Will never buy ASA from these guys again, might try from another vendor, but that's it. So much wasted time trying to make it work.

I found this to be a great filament in my ancient 3D printer. I formerly used a considerable amount of ABS and PLA, but this was my first use of ASA, and I was very happy. It came well sealed from the factory and I did not have any problems with how it fed. I was also pleased with the look of the final product, but to be fair, my printer is very old and imprecise, so I can't judge that aspect as well as some other people might using newer and better printers that showcase a great amount of detail. I was just happy for this stuff to make a complete and sturdy print that held up to outdoor exposure in the way that I required.

Update: After a lot of tweaking and building myself an enclosure with heated bulbs to get it at stavle 60+ temps , i managed to print what by all intents and puposes shouldnt have printed on a bed slinger (BL A1) , see last photo , superb but as i said , layer adhesion is t the greatest and you absolutely need a heated enclosure for anything higher than a few inches...use of rafts recommended I really have nothing bad to say about flashforge themselves , as ove used a lot of their filament , and this is the first one im utterly disappointed in, maybe i got a bad roll but im half a roll into it , and nearly 20 test cubes and prints , ive even built myself an enclosure and it doesnt really help ..first off if i try to print this at 240 i get bubbling , at best i can force 90% cooling and it mostly works but i can tell it doesnt like it being that hot , yet at 235 i get delamination( poor layer adhesion) so bad that i can literally snap part in half and then peel off a layer at a time Ive tried everything with this ASA burnt titanium but unless it really absolutely needs a +50 degree enclosed space ...i literally cant print anything of use on this thats not decorative at best , i get a perfect looking benchy or test cube...that i can literally crush... Test cubes from left to right show different temps, left most being 235 and it printed pretty good , but on bigger parts all i get is brittlenes similar to printing with matte pla , im positive its dry as you can see it prints with a great finish at right temp....just cant get thing to stick to itself....

If your part is more than 6mm thick it will start to shrink and peel off. I am no stranger to printing ABS and ASA, and have 6,000 plus hours of prints on those two materials. This is a difficult material to print, I do not recommend it unless you can print over 60C. I cannot stress enough, that I printed 7 parts with this, each heat soaking the machine until it reached 57C. They all peeled up a bit. I printed these same parts in Polymaker Natural ASA with zero issues and starting the print at a chamber temp of 43C as usual. Another thing that really stinks is that I received this filament open. I dried it for 24 hours in a Creality Space Pi X4, and printed from that to ensure it was moisture free. It is a nice color, but the printability is horrible compared to other filaments of similar toughness and hardness like Ambrosia and Spartan 3D. The end of the roll was a bit tangled also. I did not get through the entire roll before I sent it back including all the parts I made. I hope I got a bad batch of material, because I cannot imagine this would get such good reviews if it was not easy to print. This is only easy to print if your parts are small and short. Printed on a Trident 250, Chamber temp 57C. .6mm Nozzle, 265C and 100C bed. Perhaps some ASA slurry painted down on the bed would have fixed the issue, but this was not a problem with Polymaker or Spartan 3D filament.

This is FANTASTIC! I thought i had found the best filament ever when I bought Polycarbonate but this is even better! This is slightly stronger but slightly less impact resistant than ABS. Slightly weaker than Polycarbonate but Polycarbonate doesnt have much impact resistance if anything at all. I've printed various RC car parts with this and every single one has come out perfectly, its pretty much the God filament for me. Im yet to test the strength of a spur gear but I have printed 4 of them with this filament and the finish and strength are seriously impressive. As soon as I get paid I'm buying a few more rolls of this, from now on I'm printing EVERYTHING in Flashforge ASA!

Print goed en ziet er uitstekend uit. Uit de verpakking gehaald en gedroogd in Polydryer voordat ik het heb gebruikt. Ik heb een Bambu P1S. Instelling: Generic ASA. Shrinkage gemeten: X-as 99.44% en Y-as 99.56%. Gemiddelde shrinkage 99.50%.

Plastique très facile à imprimer du moment qu on l'a bonne imprimante une buse qui chauffe bien et un plateau aussi. Il n' y a pas d'odeur. J ai fait un abreuvoir pour oiseaux et avec l' asa il est bien étanche et en plus ce plastique résiste au UV.
