ASA PLUS filament

3DTrcek ASA Plus Filament

Popular among thousands of creators for its reliable quality. Made in Slovenia, with over 10 years of experience in 3D filament manufacturing and 45 years in plastic processing. ASA Plus filament is characterized by mechanical and chemical properties comparable to standard ASA filament while being easier to print.

Characteristics of ASA Plus filament:

3DTrcek ASA Plus filament boasts high tensile strength, toughness, impact strength, and hardness. With these properties, it is an excellent choice for a wide range of products, from toys to mechanical elements, where thermal resistance is also important. The advantage of ASA Plus filament over ABS Plus is its resistance to UV light, making it the right choice for mechanically stressed products for outdoor use. Since it is easier to print than standard ASA filaments, we recommend it to everyone encountering ASA-based filaments for the first time.

Printing:

It does not warp as much during printing as standard ASA, but we still recommend using a printer with an enclosed chamber. Due to its better printing properties, it is possible to print on open printers, but we advise enclosing the printer. Since ASA Plus can be printed at high temperatures, we recommend using an all-metal hot end. Like ABS Plus, ASA Plus filaments emit unpleasant fumes, so printing in a well-ventilated area is advised.

Quality Guarantee:

Precise mechanical winding and thorough inspection ensure that the filaments do not tangle. Each spool is vacuum-packed with a desiccant within 5 minutes of production, ensuring long-lasting quality. The filament contains no recycled material, ensuring a stable diameter of 1.75mm +/- 0.03 mm and minimal ovality.

Compatibility:

ASA Plus filament can be printed at high temperatures, so it is advisable to use an all-metal hot end, and we also recommend an enclosed chamber. However, it is not as necessary as with standard ASA. With over 10 years of experience in developing 3D filaments, 3DTrcek produces only the best ASA filaments, ensuring excellent results on all popular FDM printers such as Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, Elegoo, etc.

Chemical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties:

ASA Plus filament is resistant to acids, bases, oils, fats, and hydrocarbon compounds, making it suitable for printing products exposed to these substances. In addition, it is also resistant to UV light, so you can use it outside without degrading the materials mechanical properties or color. It boasts good impact resistance, high toughness, hardness, and tensile strength. These properties make the material suitable for products that bear mechanical loads.

Post-processing:

Like ABS, ASA Plus can be post-processed with acetone vapors, which dissolve the material, giving the products a shiny, smooth surface. Products have a matte surface after printing without additional processing.

Storage:

Store 3DTrcek ASA Plus filament in a dry, dark place in an airtight bag with desiccant at a temperature between 0℃ and 40℃. ASA Plus absorbs moisture but is not as sensitive as PET-G during printing. If not used for a long time, we recommend drying it in a filament dryer at 60℃ for 4-8 hours before use

Packaging:

Available in 50g, 400g, 800g, 2,1kg, 5kg, and 10kg spools. Contact us at [email protected] for orders of the larger spools in specific colors.

Printing Recommendations:

ASA Plus is easier to print than standard ASA, but it is still printed at high temperatures, so we recommend using an all-metal hot end. An enclosed chamber is also recommended, but not strictly necessary. You can mitigate warping and detaching from the print bed by using the brim function and designing models with rounded edges, as these better distribute forces during shrinking. Due to the unpleasant fumes released during printing, we recommend using an air filtration system or exhaust.

*Settings for Bambulab P1S equipped with a 0.4mm nozzle and textured PEI base plate.

** Recommended settings serve as a starting point for optimal print configuration. Although they usually work for most printers, we recommend experimenting outside these parameters based on the specific properties of your printer.

FAQ:

Are 3DTrcek filaments compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS system?

Yes, the filaments are compatible with all popular FDM printers and the Bambu Lab AMS system.

Can I print ASA Plus on an open printer?

We do not recommend printing with an open printer, but you can try enclosing the printer with a box to minimize air flow through the printer.

Do you take back failed prints and recycle them?

We currently do not have the technology for recycling, but we are working to make this possible in the near future.
