FLASHFORGE ASA Filament 1.75mm Green, 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.

TLDR: Enclosure, good hotend and a regular ass ender 3 from 2021 can print this beaufully... even if your encoding is a big cd m cardboard box. It prints very rigid, VERY rigid but is it just as strong. Keep realistic expectations in your settings and you'll get a bashful beautiful piece of hard plastic with high glass transition temp. Sorry no photos, I'm currently 3 floors away from the finished products and I'm not getting out of bed to go take photos. I have never used ASA before, I've printed with abs, nylon, nylon-cf (nylonX), petg, pla, petg& pla-CF.... pretty much everything but ASA. I expected something similar to nylon but instead it is very very rigid, definitely recommend a hardened nozzle. It printed similar to Nylon-X. It is extremely rigid, very tough, has a high heat resistance. And it printed easy, really easy. I didn't have a tough trial period. Obviously, enclosure but my enclosure is a lack setup with fiberglass. It is sealed with silicone so there is no everyone escaping of heat but the heat is strictly generated by the printer, the bed mostly. I use PEI with aquaflow hairspray (I'm old school, been using it since 2016). I have a total off 9 FDM printers, 3 SLA. 3 of my FDM are enclosed, 2 of which are lack endorse based. I ensure they were built to the of their capability, it doesn't quite compare to something like a K1C or bamboo labs enclosure but the point is, this stuff, you could take an endure 3 (upgraded hotend) and throw a cardboard box over it and it'll print. Keep your expectations realistic, don't go thinking your going to print this at 120mm/s but 60 is fine, as long as you have a proper setup. Not bragging but I run PLA at 175-250 @ 5k accel on a 350x350 bed, just pointing out a properly set machine will perform for what you build it for. A standard ender 3v2 with a good hotend week leave you with amazing quality prints. Oh, DRY IT OUT, EVERY TIME. Print from a dryer. It matters. But it is wonderful.

Edit. The Burnt Titanium is gorgeous. The Black Green, is disappointingly light rather than "Black". See photo Gorgeous! I was in a hurry, so didn't dry or dial in this filament at all. Just used Bambu slicer's Generic ASA setting on my P1S. And the print came out amazing. Good adhesion, no warping, dry out of the box, and the color is fantastic. Of course I started with a super clean plate with 2 dried layers of well spread glue (Elmer's purple) and a small brim - my usual ASA routine. I'm very happy with this and will happily buy more when I run out. I tried buying one "used in original packaging" . That was a joke. It was in the box, but not in a sealed bag, it arrived so dirty and dusty I wouldn't put it in my printer. Lesson learned, don't buy used filament

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....

Ok ASA filament, prints well. Color is not very opaque and can be seen through from layer to layer especially if printing a thin wall or oddly enough a shallow angle. Biggest issue however was its AMS/CFS compatibility. At the end of the spool it was taped to the spool, which then got pulled into the AMS feeder and caused a print failure due to filament getting stuck. There's a start hole on the spool, I have no idea why it was taped instead.

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.

I needed some ASA to print some heat resistant parts. Found this to be good value, and in stock. Ran it through a drying cycle. Then using the Bambu Lab generic ASA settings on my H2D, it printed in dual colour, with black, with no defects, no issues and very good finish. I used the Bambu Lab textured pei plate and the first layer adhesion was perfect. One word of caution, this filament is slightly brittle and will snap more readily than pla when placing it in the AMS when loading. Not a huge problem, just something to be aware of. All in all, I found it to be a very usable filament.

Good printing quality and lovely colour
