Product details
Features & specifications
Bambu Lab ASA is a 1.75mm ASA filament built for long-term outdoor use, with extraordinary UV, oxidation, and aging resistance and high impact strength. Compared with normal PETG or ABS, it holds its shape even at 100°C. It needs an enclosed printer.
Highlights
- UV and weather resistance. Protects against breakage and color degradation when used outdoors for the long term.
- Temperature resistance. Stays in shape at 100°C, better than normal PETG or ABS.
- Tough and durable. High impact strength for outdoor applications and regular structural needs.
- Milder odor than ABS. Printing still gives off a pungent odor, but a notably lighter one than ABS.

Printing and Care
- Enclose and ventilate. Use an enclosed printer in a well-ventilated area, because pungent, unpleasant odors may be released during printing.
- Prevent warping. ASA can warp on large or high-infill models. Use an enclosure, glue the build plate, print at a lower speed, and raise the bed temperature.
- Dry before use. Drying gives the best print quality and a consistent finish. Store it in a dry place after use.
- Print safely. Use a well-ventilated area, and keep filament and fragments away from children and pets. This filament is not food-grade, so do not use finished prints for food storage or contact.
