Product Description

Prof. Lab ASA Black 1 kg

The professional filament Prof. Lab ASA Black is designed for users who need dimensionally stable and long-lasting prints for outdoor use and demanding conditions. ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a material very similar to ABS, but with significantly better UV stability and weather resistance .

Main advantages of ASA material

• High UV and weather resistance – suitable for parts permanently exposed to sun and outdoor conditions.
• Excellent mechanical strength and toughness – suitable for functional, mechanically stressed components.
• Better dimensional stability than ABS – less prone to warping with correct print settings.
• Temperature resistance – suitable for parts exposed to higher temperatures (e.g., in vehicle interiors or near engines and electronics).
• Matte technical surface – black ASA gives prints a professional look and conceals minor imperfections and layers.

Typical applications

Prof. Lab ASA Black is ideal for:

• Automotive parts – brackets, handles, covers, interior and exterior elements.
• Electronics enclosures and boxes – especially for outdoor sensors, camera systems, and IoT devices.
• Garden and construction accessories – hooks, handles, hose holders, fasteners.
• Technical and functional prototypes – parts exposed to mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations.
• Outdoor signage, markers, and information boards – where resistance to sun and rain is important.

Recommended Print Settings

The specific values may vary depending on the printer, color, and environment. Consider these as initial recommendations and adjust them through test prints if necessary.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 235–260 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 80–100 °C
• Print speed: approx. 40–80 mm/s (lower speed for high-quality and technically precise parts).
• Cooling: 0–30 %, ideally low or off for better layer adhesion.
• Enclosed build chamber: recommended, especially for larger models to minimize warp and cracks.
• Bed surface: textured or smooth PEI, glass with suitable adhesive (3DLAC, glue stick, etc.).

Printing Tips

• For large parts, use a Brim or Raft to increase bed adhesion.
• Store the filament dry – low humidity improves surface quality and minimizes stringing.
• For long, slender parts, choose a higher bed temperature and, if necessary, an enclosure for the print chamber to prevent warping.

Compatibility

Prof. Lab ASA Black filament is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers that can print technical materials with higher nozzle temperatures and have a heated bed, such as:

• Prusa i3 / MK Series
• Creality Ender / CR Series
• Anycubic, Artillery, Voron, Bambu Lab and other similar printers

Summary

Prof. Lab ASA Black 1 kg is the right choice for anyone looking for a reliable and durable technical filament for outdoor and functional parts. It combines the strength and toughness known from ABS with higher UV stability and better weather resistance, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use as well as under demanding operating conditions.

Key features:

• Technical ASA filament in black for outdoor and functional parts.
• High resistance to UV radiation and weathering - ideal for outdoor use.
• Excellent mechanical strength and toughness, suitable for stressed components.
• Better dimensional stability and less warping than traditional ABS.
• Matte technical surface that conceals layers and gives a professional appearance.
• Compatible with a wide range of FDM/FFF 3D printers with heated beds.
• Suitable for automotive, electronics enclosures, garden accessories, and technical prototypes.
