POLYMAKERASA Filament 2.85mm Blue, 1kg ASA 3D Printing Filament, Heat & Weather Resistant - ASA 3D Printer Filament Perfect for Printing Outdoor Functional Parts

This has quickly become my go to filament. While a bit more expensive than PLA it shares some important traits as long as you have a heated bed and and enclosure to help avoid warping. Polymaker hasn't let me down yet. Each roll has been consistent in its printing, haven't run into a random out of diameter spot in the spool, and prints fantastic on a UM3 with a heated bed and simple top enclosure. Sticks to the glass with just Elmers glue sticks so no need for fancy and expensive bed adhesion. Let the print cool naturally and it just pops off the glass. Never had a problem with warping even with prints lasting over 24 hours. Prints greater than 6hrs I'll typically print with a brim, and anything else just a skirt. I've printed Polymaker ASA in Grey, Red, Blue, and Natural. Natural is my go to for anything requiring post processing with primer and paint.

Amazing filament. Low warping, great self adhesion, more flexibility, better surface finish, when compared the cheap made Amazon Basics ABS filament. Never going back to Amazon Basics ABS.

ASA is my primary filament. I've bought ever Polymaker ASA color except white, and I'll likely do that when the current roll of another brand runs out. Altogether, these filaments are easy to print on my FLSun QQ-S Pro with an enclosed and heated build chamber. They print consistently with bed at 75C, nozzle at 255C, chamber at ~45C. Good ventilation , or a VOC scrubber is recommended as these filaments do emit a significant characteristic fragrance. The only problem that I can document is their tendency to easily unroll when first opened, as the filament is packed very close to the top. Have already bought again, and will buy more unless another cost-effective broad property filament is introduced that can print below 300C.

Gave this brand of ASA a try as my normal brand was out of stock. This one didn't adhere to the bed at all. I tried it on a smooth print bed and textured, i tried with and without glue and it still didn't stick properly. I can't rate the print quality as the prints all failed about 10% through.

I bought a spool of polylite ASA specifically to print some high temperature resistant parts for the rebuild of my printer's hot end. The filament seems to be everything I could want. (With the exception of a tendency to stick to the PEI coating on my build plate.)My problem isn't with the ASA filament, it is with the spool. the spool of filament fell off of the workbench in my garage onto the floor. The spool shattered. It is now unusable on my spool holders.Maybe it's my age, but I have dropped a number spools over the years and the PolyLite is the first that broke. The others...from Hatchbox, Overture, 3D Solutions, Ziro, et.al. don't seem to be as brittle and can, and have, all withstood similar falls.In my case, it's a deal breaker. I am totally aware that the dropping of the spool is my problem and not Polylite's. I am also aware that I could print a different type of spool holder or respool the remaining filament onto another spool. But why would I when I can eliminate the issue by just using filament from another manufacturer?
