Colorfabb LW-ASA 650g
£39.99
The LW-ASA material can increase its volume by almost 2.5 times. That means parts can be printed with a reduced flow rate of up to 40%. Filament density is around 1.07 g / cm3, but when foamed at maximum capacity and printed at 40% flow, users get a part density close to 0.43 g / cm3.
Like normal ASA materials, LW-ASA is characterised by good UV stability and high-temperature resistance of 96 ° C. You can be assured that this material can handle elevated temperatures better than the colorFabb LW-PLA.
LW-ASA is more prone to warping compared to LW-PLA type filaments. Large models, in particular, can shrink and warp when printing, but in most cases, it is less than ABS.
Description
After printing the LW-ASA Black will turn a slightly lighter shade of black. When foamed the surface finish will also turn matte, which gives a very professional looking result. Due to the higher temperature resistance of LW-ASA you don’t need to worry about heat absorption.

LW-ASA is more susceptible to warping compared to LW-PLA type filament. Especially models with a large footprint can shrink and warp during printing, but compared to ABS in most cases less severe.
Please note that colour variations may occur. Colour will turn lighter when the material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer colour.

This is nice filament if you can stop it from warping, keeping the first layer down can be tricky I find setting the bed temp extra high on the first layer helps with this.
