Polymaker PolyLite ASA 1.75mm Filament 5kg

PolyLite™ is a top - notch family of 3D printing filaments crafted from the finest raw materials. It offers outstanding quality and reliability, covering popular 3D printing materials for your daily design and prototyping needs. PolyLite™ ASA is a great alternative to ABS, with enhanced weather resistance. Its UV and water resistance, along with excellent mechanical properties, make it perfect for real - world applications. Key features include: UV resistance that keeps your prints looking great and strong outdoors; water resistance to handle high humidity and rain; better thermal and mechanical performance than general ABS, with a Vicat softening temperature of 105°C; a beautiful matte surface finish for production parts; and uncompromised quality thanks to Polymaker's strict quality control. Printing settings: Nozzle temp 240°C - 260°C, build plate 75°C - 95°C. It works well on most build surfaces, and a rigid build plate is recommended. You can use Magigoo Original or PVA glue for better adhesion. An enclosure is advised, and a heated chamber may be needed for some models. Printing speed is 30mm/s - 50mm/s. Specifications: 5kg net weight, ASA material, density of 1.22 g/cm3 at 21.5˚C. Compatible with many professional 3D printers, but adjustments may be needed depending on your printer.

Using this Polymaker PolyLite ASA filament is easy. First, set your printer's nozzle temperature between 240°C and 260°C and the build plate temperature between 75°C and 95°C. Make sure to choose a suitable build surface, like glass or Blue Tape, and a rigid build plate is better. You can apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue on the build surface to help the print stick. If possible, use an enclosure around your printer. For some complex or large models, a heated chamber at 70˚C or higher is recommended. When it comes to the cooling fan, use a low setting for better surface quality or turn it off for more strength. Print at a speed of 30mm/s - 50mm/s. The retraction settings vary by printer type. For direct drive, use a retraction distance of 1mm and a speed of 20mm/s; for Bowden, use 3mm and 40mm/s. It's self - supporting, so you may not need extra support material. Before starting a big project, print some calibration tests to adjust the settings for your printer. Keep the filament in a dry place to maintain its quality. If you notice any issues during printing, like clogging, check the nozzle temperature and retraction settings.
