About ASA

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is the outdoor king of 3D printing filaments. It offers UV resistance that is roughly 10 times better than ABS, meaning printed parts will not yellow, crack, or become brittle in direct sunlight. ASA has similar mechanical properties to ABS (good impact and heat resistance) but with dramatically better weather resistance. It requires an enclosure and produces fumes, but for any part that will live outdoors, ASA is the clear winner.

Enclosure recommended for ASA printing.
Dry filament before use: 77°C for 4 hours.

ASA at a Glance

Strengths

  • Best UV resistance of common filaments (10x better than ABS)
  • Excellent for outdoor functional parts
  • Does not yellow or become brittle in sunlight
  • Good impact resistance (similar to ABS)
  • Good heat resistance (softens ~100C)

Weaknesses

  • Requires enclosure (like ABS)
  • Emits fumes (similar to ABS)
  • More expensive than ABS
  • Still prone to warping without enclosure
