Specifications :

Diameter Tolerance = +- 0.1mm. Density = 1.07 g/cc. Vical softening Temperature = 96C

Printing Advice:

Advised 3D printing temperature = 240-260C. Advised 3d print speed = 30 - 50 mm/s. Advised Heated bed = 90-100C

Build platform: ASA is more susceptible to warping compared to PLA or PETG type filaments. Especially models with a large footprint can shrink and warp during printing, but compared to ABS in most cases less severe. Apart from using a large brim and heated buildplate of 90-100C (or higher if your machine is capable) we can also advice the following. Print a tall skirt around your model to reduce cold air flow around the printed model or print inside an enclosure for better control of the environment temperature.

TIP! To reduce warping we would advice to use the least amount of cooling possible. Also for best mechanical performance try printing with the least amount of cooling needed, for optimal layer adhesion.
