Great material, great "snow" white colour. Delivered quick for an import item.

This is my first Polymaker filament and it is fantastic. One safety note before delving into the review:** Styrene in ASA (and also ABS) produces toxic fumes when 3D printed. Please ensure you have a well ventilated area where you plan on printing. **Pros:- Prints very well, and easily. I would compare it to PLA in terms of how easily it prints.- Seems to be much stronger and resistant to snapping when bending (with respect to PLA).- Can withstand higher temperatures and UV.- With respect to ABS, the fumes are lessened.- ASA prints with more of a satin to matte type of appearance.- The black color is interesting in the sense that it seems to pick up on colors around it.Cons:- ASA specific: Toxic fumes when printing, higher heat bed required, more prone to warping, enclosure possibly needed- Possible con: The filament on a new spool seems to be wider in diameter with respect to other manufacturers. If you happen to have a Bambu Lab AMS with filament guides (mod), you may have issues with retraction when completing a project. Note: This comment is regarding the overall diameter of the filament on the spool, not the filament itself.I had shied away from ASA and ABS with the preconceived notion that it would be more finicky than PETG. I was pleasantly surprised that is much easier! Polymaker will definitely be a go to from now on!If you're remotely interested - get it!

El material no viene en cajas individuales, sino sólo en bolsas resellables. No ocupan tanto espacio y no se hace mucho desperdicio. Hasta ahora no tenemos ninguna observación al respecto, llevamos mucho tiempo imprimiendo con Polymaker.

Druck Super auf dem X1C und ist mega stabil.

L'ASA (Acrilonitrile Stirene Acrilato) si è rivelato un materiale decisamente superiore rispetto al PLA, specialmente per applicazioni che richiedono una maggiore resistenza agli agenti atmosferici e ai raggi UV. Da quando ho iniziato a utilizzarlo, ho notato un netto miglioramento nella qualità delle stampe, tanto che ora lo preferisco per la maggior parte dei miei progetti.Una delle maggiori qualità dell'ASA è la sua durabilità, rendendolo perfetto per oggetti destinati all'esterno o a condizioni più stressanti. Tuttavia, a differenza del PLA, l'ASA emette odori più forti durante la stampa, e questi possono risultare fastidiosi se si stampa in una stanza chiusa e senza adeguata ventilazione. Ho notato che, senza una camera chiusa, la stampa può essere comunque soddisfacente, anche se l'uso di uno spazio ben ventilato è altamente consigliato per evitare mal di testa o altri disagi dovuti ai fumi.Dopo vari test, ho trovato che una temperatura del nozzle a 245°C e del piano di stampa a 95°C rappresentano il "sweet spot" per ottenere risultati ottimali: ottima adesione al piatto, poche o nessuna deformazione, e una finitura impeccabile. Questo settaggio funziona perfettamente con il filamento ASA di Polymaker, che sto considerando di adottare definitivamente per le mie future stampe.In conclusione, sebbene richieda qualche accorgimento in più rispetto al PLA, l'ASA è un materiale che eleva la qualità complessiva delle stampe, rendendolo una scelta ideale per chi cerca resistenza e affidabilità nei propri progetti di stampa 3D.
