Prusament ASA 800g

It’s important to run the prints in a well-ventilated room because the material releases fumes and substances that could pose a potential health risk. However, when ventilating the room, do not create a draft around the print – this will negatively impact the result. The best way is to use a 3D printer with an enclosure and an active filtration system.

You may encounter some issues related to the shrinking (warping) of the material, especially when printing larger models. This effect is much less severe compared to ABS, but still, even with the heatbed set to 110°C, the prints can shrink and warp, causing them to detach from the print bed. This issue can be eliminated by printing inside an enclosure (for example, our Prusa Enclosure ) or by adding a draft shield around the object in PrusaSlicer.

This type of post-processing gives the model a smooth, glossy finish that looks slightly like a vacuum-molded component. We addressed this topic in one of our older blog articles. You can learn more here. But safety first: Remember that Acetone is highly flammable and you work with it at your own risk. Do everything necessary to avoid direct contact and inhalation. Always work in well-ventilated areas, as far as possible from flammable objects and use protective equipment such as gloves and face protection (protective shield or protective glasses). Acetone vapors tend to be very prominent and may cause respiratory issues.

We recommend storing ASA in a dry place or drying it before printing. To dry the filament, please follow the instructions in our article .
