Black ASA

Great filament at a great price

This ASA has potential, but the colour is best described as a dark gunmetal blue. I'm surprised the vendor cannot execute a true black. This will not match other black plastic parts in a multi-material assembly.

I found I had to print this at or above the recommended maximum temperature, with 40-80 mm/s print speed and minimal (but not zero) cooling, and this gave me reasonably good results. The mechanical properties seem very good except for very poor layer adhesion when using lower printing temperatures.

This ASA has an appealing price point - but I would not select it for production purposes until it comes in a true BLACK.

Quick delivery, quality product, great service.

The pricing is attractive and the ASA works well neatly wound, one roll out of the 5 I ordered did have a few lumps in it varying the filament diameter from 1.55 to 1.98. Contacted support and Sidd sent out a full refund for the order and confirmed the issue with his supplier who mentioned some stuff about additives being wrong in this batch or something.

I ordered 2 more rolls of ASA and they have been perfect, I highly recommend the filament as the service I received was outstanding and the prints with this material are great.

The 4 stars are due to the one roll being lumpy but after using 20 of the other rolls they sell, it seems to have been a bad spool.

Excellent quality. Prints well. Not too difficult to tune.
