ASA+CF

Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm.

Diameter 1.75mm2 ±0.03
Density 1.252 ±0.05g/cm2
Print Temp 230-260ºC
Hot bed 90-110ºC (required)
Surface Kapton tape, PET Sheets, ABS/ASA Slurry

A slurry of ABS or ASA and acetone on top of a heated build plate will give an excellent film onto which your parts can adhere.
ASA can be smoothed using controlled exposure to acetone vapours (a process called “vapour smoothing”).
HIPS can be used as a great dissolvable support material for ASA prints. Consider using the Dense Supports option in Simplify3D for best results.

13 March 2024 - Review for:PETG-CF – Carbon Fibre Enhanced PETG FilamentInteresting combination of materials. Has the stiffness of ASA but the toughness of PETG. Also like ASA, I found a tendency for the layers to separate if printed with the same temp as PETG. Raising the extruder temperature helped, but then I found blobs forming. A good balance seems to be 242degC with a touch of fan.I'm printing on a Garolite print bed and found I had to bring the bed temp down to 70degC, any hotter and the print is very hard to remove!Also, remember you'll need a steel nozzle, as apparently the CF will ream out your orifice quick smart. The filament is hygroscopic so needs to be dried before use.My suggestion - get PETG printing well, before moving onto this filament.My printing factors currently:Ender3 v2 with MicroSwiss DD Extruder 0.6mm hardened steel MicroSwiss Nozzle Retraction: 1.5mm Garolite Printbed Extruder Temp: 242degC Fan: 5% always on | Bridges: 40% Layer Height: .24mm Perim: 35mm/s Small Perim: 25 mm/s Ext PErim: 20 mm/sREVIEW FOR ASA Blue-GreyPrinted the three parts in the photo attached, individually on an Ender 3 v2 without an enclosure, but with a printed draft shield.Nozzle at 250 degC first layer, then 246 degC for the following layers Bed at 102 degC first layer, then 98 degC for the following layersNote: I have a Capricorn PTFE Bowden Tube. Better temp durability than E3v2 stock Bowden tube.My bed plate is Garolite wet sanded with 1200 grit wet n dry and cleaned between prints with Isopropyl and paper towel.You don't want to be in the same room as the printer when printing ASA - smells bad. Also, once the first layer has finished, keep the door closed to avoid drafts.Print rough smoothed using 240 grit sandpaper, then 1200 wet n dry - wet sanded. ASA sands easily and down to a great finish.Next step is try printing in an enclosure and to try Acetone smoothing :)NOTE: The supplied filament reel's centre-hole is too small for my Ender 3 v2 reel holder. I use a dryer so all good, would be frustrating if you wanted to use a stock holder. EDIT: Must have had my eyes closed - The spool holes have filler plates! Removing these plates and my conundrum was solved :) Read Less

I was directed to 3DEA by a work colleague as I was new to 3D printing and they were right about them. Great quality PLA (and many other types), awesome range of colours and great pricing. I've bought 4 different rolls so far and they have all been great, no clogging and brilliant print quality. Read Less

I was looking for a colour similar to the primer red seen on German WW2 heavy vehicles. Wanted to print a 1/4 scale model of a Tiger tank 88mm muzzle brake. Ordered the 3DEA "Brick Red" PLA which is a very good match. Never used prior and pleased to report printed faultlessly once I knocked the temp down to 200 degrees on my Kingroon KP3S. Printed at 0.10mm layer height, no stringing issues at all. Very happy customer. Already planning the next order, highly recommended. Read Less
