Bambu ASA is a super - durable material with excellent UV, weather, mechanical, and thermal resistance. It's perfect for outdoor models like planters, signs, mailboxes, and wind vanes, as well as structural parts that face tough outdoor conditions long - term.
Extraordinary Weather & UV Resistance: It resists UV, oxidation, and aging, protecting against breakage and color fading outdoors.
Tough and Durable: With high toughness and impact strength, it's great for outdoor use and regular structural needs.
Better Temperature Resistance: Unlike normal PETG or ABS, it keeps its shape at 100°C.
FAQs:
1. Difference between ABS and ASA: ASA is an improved ABS with acrylate. It has better weather and UV resistance, fades less, and has a lighter pungent odor during printing. ABS is acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene, while ASA is acrylonitrile - styrene - acrylate.
2. Application differences: ASA is for outdoor stuff like automotive parts and signage. ABS is mainly for indoor use due to its mechanical properties.
3. Similarities: Both have good impact resistance, high tensile strength, and may release pungent odors during printing. They also have the same warping tendency and need an enclosed printer for large - size or high - infill models.
Printing Tips: Place your printer in a well - ventilated area as it may release unpleasant odors.
Print Your Own Spool: Use the spool model in your Bambu Lab 3D printer and print Spool Part 1&2 from built - in files.
Instructions for Printed Spool: After printing, you get a wide piece, a narrow piece, and two spacing shims. Align the locator on the wide piece with the notch on the filament roll and insert it. Then insert the narrow piece, align the grooves, and rotate it clockwise until it locks. Install the spacing shims under the triangle and pull out the plastic strips. Learn more on Wiki.

Using Bambu ASA Filament:
First, make sure your printer is in a well - ventilated area because it can release some unpleasant odors during printing. You can use it to print all sorts of outdoor items like planters, signs, and structural parts that need to stand up to tough weather.
When it comes to the spool, your Bambu Lab 3D printer has a built - in spool model. Print Spool Part 1 and Part 2 from the files. After printing, you'll have a wide piece, a narrow piece, and two spacing shims. Find the little block on the wide piece and line it up with the notch on the inner ring of the filament roll, then slide the wide piece in. Next, insert the narrow piece, align the grooves, and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Don't forget to put the spacing shims under the triangle and pull out the plastic strips.
Maintenance: Keep the filament in a dry place with the desiccant provided. This helps maintain its quality. If you notice any issues with printing like clogging or poor quality, check your printer settings and make sure the temperature is appropriate.
Safety Note: Always handle the filament carefully. And remember, it and ABS may release pungent odors, so proper ventilation is a must.
