Fiberlogy ASA is often referred to as the successor to ABS. Due to its exceptional resistance to UV radiation, high temperatures (up to 94°C) and humidity, it is perfect for printing models exposed to long-term weather conditions. At the same time, the material is very durable and simple to print.
Due to the fact that ASA is characterized by low shrinkage, high adhesion and less emission of unpleasant odours compared to ABS, it can be used in printers that are not fitted with a heated chamber.

ASA and ABS can be smoothed with acetone vapor to provide a very smooth finish.
If ASA or ABS welds to your bed, you can use acetone to melt it off provided your print surface can take acetone.
