Polymaker™ ASA Filament: UV Resistant, Outdoor-Ready Performance

Superior Weather and UV Resistance
Polymaker™ ASA is engineered as an advanced alternative to ABS, offering improved weather resistance and excellent UV stability. This makes it the ideal filament for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and the elements is a concern.

Robust Mechanical Properties
With mechanical strength and durability comparable to ABS, Polymaker™ ASA delivers reliable performance for functional parts, enclosures, and prototypes that need to withstand real-world conditions.

Easy Transition from ABS
Polymaker™ ASA prints with settings very similar to ABS, making it easy to switch for users familiar with ABS printing. Simply use an enclosed 3D printer to ensure optimal temperature control and minimize warping.

Perfect for Outdoor and Functional Parts
Choose Polymaker™ ASA for any project that demands UV resistance, weather durability, and strong mechanical properties- perfect for outdoor use and long-lasting results.

Note: PolyLite ASA is now Polymaker ASA. You may still receive the old packaging as we transition.

Printing Requirements
  • Enclosure that can trap ambient air and keep it hot
  • All-metal hotend that can reach 250C+ is recommended though not needed.

And that's all! You can use Magigoo Original to help with build plate adhesion

If using a stock, older style printer - we would recommend printing slower.

  • Drying: ASA has low moisture uptake. If the filament has only been exposed briefly under normal conditions, drying at 70°C for 4 hours is typically sufficient. Use the TDS-recommended setting of 70°C for 7 hours after extended exposure or when moisture-related print defects appear.
  • Build Plate: Apply a suitable adhesive as a release layer, and let the build plate cool before removing the print.
  • Temperature and Speed: Use a nozzle temperature of 230-260°C, a bed temperature of 75-95°C, and a print speed of 50-200 mm/s. For faster printing or improved layer adhesion, use 240-260°C.
  • Warping and Layer Adhesion: Use an enclosure, avoid drafts, and keep the cooling fan off. Print in a well-ventilated area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. From choosing the right material to caring for your spools, here's everything you need to know in one spot.

What is the difference between ASA and ABS?

ASA is almost exactly the same as ABS with 1 major difference and 1 minor difference:
The major difference is ASA is extremely good at weather resistance. (Resistance to UV light and environmental stress cracking)
The minor difference is ASA prints with a nicer matte finish slightly hiding the layer lines.

Do you have test results for UV resistance with ASA?

Natural and accelerated aging tests are conducted to explore the correlation between color and mechanical properties of ASA materials and aging duration, assessing material weather resistance. Following a two-year natural aging examination, the ASA substrate exhibited a slight color alteration with a color change value (ΔE) below 2.5.In the accelerated aging test, the ASA material demonstrated a ΔE value below 5 and minimal tensile strength loss, even after exposure to 8000 kj/m2 irradiation, showcasing superior performance compared to ABS.Experimental findings substantiate that components exposed to outdoor weather elements (sunlight, rain, temperature fluctuations) maintain integrity for a minimum of two years.

Can Polymaker™ ASA be post-processed with Acetone?

Yes, Polymaker™ ASA can be smoothed with acetone.
WARNING: Acetone is a dangerous chemical, please handle it with the necessary safety precautions.

We recommend PolySmooth™ as a safer alternative to create smooth surface models.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Customers praised this ASA filament for exceptional print quality, describing it as "top notch" with excellent repeatability and minimal warping. Many noted it "prints flawlessly" and is easier than PETG. Shoppers highlighted outstanding outdoor durability, UV resistance, and vibrant colors. Some mentioned minor warping with Pop Green and occasional filament tangling.

3kg spool of blue ASA

3kg spool of blue ASA.
This 3kg spool has been fantastic for printing. After some initial drying, the material has performed wonderfully with no clogs or other issues. The ASA sands and vapor smooths very well, with a really pleasing look afterwards.

Warp free ASA - Love it

Great product for printing large large free prints on Bambu P1S's. I reguarly print 250mm large options over 12h and this ASA is faultless, thankyou!

So far this is working very well

So far this is working very well. I tried some other ASA from Elegoo and it wouldn’t print right no matter what I tried and this has completely flipped my bad experience on its head. I read a bunch of other reviews and people only had good things to say about Polymaker so I’ve officially found my new filament source!

Best red

I've finally found a red that suits my wants. I've bought countless spools of red filament in various materials but the color has never been a deep red. This all changed with this ASA, it's for me the best red on the market as far as I know. Also it's super easy to print ! I had always been used to only printing PLA and PETG, and found ASA to be easier to print than PETG (given you have an enclosure of course).

ASA not as scary as I thought.

I was a bit terrified of using ASA filament for the first time, but I’m through 2 rolls of polymaker now and overall the experience was quite enjoyable. I had pretty good bed adhesion- using mouse ears on sharp corners with a 0mm gap. Easy to clean up post print. Very happy with the results.

The yellow on my first Voron

When I first built a Voron r2, I had the parts printed in gray and yellow polymaker ABS, so when I printed spares, the yellow ABS did not match my printer. After a bit of messing around, it turned out the printer used ASA Yellow. I've been hooked on ASA yellow ever since!

My go-to supplier

I recently switched my PLA filaments supplier to Polymaker due to stringing issues I had with that supplier. I was very please with the result and I decided to try the ASA from Polymaker against the other supplier. Well, also here I am impressed. No more testing: Polymaker is now my go-to filaments supplier.
