ASA Filament Hardware Setup

1.Enclosed printer: Key factor, maintains stable temperature and reduce warping.
2.Bed temperature: 80-100℃ to minimize warping and enhance adhesion.
3.Nozzle Size/Material: 0.2/0.4 (recommended)/0.6/0.8mm; All-metal hotend if possible for better effect.
4.Chamber Temperature: Keep the temperature around 40℃.

Recommended Setup for iSANMATE ASA

ComponentiSANMATE ASA Standard

The above printing settings are based on a 0.4mm nozzle and Bambu Lab P1S Slicer Settings. Quality will vary depending on the nozzle diameter.

Post-Processing and Storage

Removal: Cooling the print bed below 40℃, the parts will fall off on their own, or slightly bend the PEI board.
Storage: ASA absorbs less moisture, but still needs proper storage. For long-term storage, keep it in a sealed bag with desiccant to maintain better performance.
Drying: If the ASA filament has been exposed to humid air for over 24 hours, it’s recommended to dry 5-8 hours at 60-70℃ before printing.
