RepRapper Tech ASA

Need outdoor parts that hold up in sun, rain, and snow? RepRapper Tech ASA is our house-brand acrylonitrile styrene acrylate filament for tough outdoor projects. Strong like ABS, with a less glossy, more professional finish.

What's Included

• 1 × 1 kg (2.2 lb) spool of RepRapper Tech ASA, 1.75 mm
• Dried spool, vacuum-packed in a resealable bag with desiccant

Print Settings

• Nozzle: about 240–260°C (start near the middle of the band and tune)
• Bed: about 100–110°C (Kapton tape or PVA glue for bed stick)
• Fan: keep it low for a cleaner surface
• Dry if the spool sat open: ASA can pick up moisture and print worse when damp

Material

• ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate)
• 1.75 mm diameter; manufacturer tolerance about ±0.03 mm
• 1 kg net spool, dried and vacuum-packed with desiccant
• Built for outdoor jobs: resists sunlight discoloration and holds up in rain and snow
• Strong like ABS, with a less glossy, more professional finish

Good To Know

• ASA likes a hot bed and a solid first-layer plan. Use Kapton or PVA glue, and add a brim on big footprints
• An enclosed printer helps adhesion and warping. Print in a ventilated space
• Big parts can still warp if the room drafts or the bed cools mid-print. Slow the first layers and shut off strong part cooling

Good For

• Outdoor brackets, housings, and fixtures that see sun and weather
• Parts that need ABS-like strength with a less glossy finish
• Functional end-use prints on enclosed FDM machines
• Jobs where you will keep the spool dry and control drafts while you print
