MakerBot ASA Filament Spool for Method X 3D Printer (White, 0.65kg/1.43lb)

The MakerBot Precision ASA is a weather-resistant 3D printing material designed to provide high-performance functional prototypes and end-use parts in demanding outdoor environments. Different from ABS, ASA has a thermoplastic formulation with a high UV resistance, which helps retain gloss, color and mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor elements. This material is ideal for demanding applications in the automotive, power and utilities, agriculture, oil and gas, and mass transit industries. The MakerBot ASA Filament is compatible with SR-30 dissolvable support material.

About ASA

ASA combines the qualities of ABS with the added benefit of UV resistance and additional moisture resistance making it ideal for equipment exposed to sunlight and rain over long periods of time - such as products for the agriculture, transportation, and power and utility industries.

Spool Type

Smart Spool provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while a desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay.

Storage Environment

Store in the included vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
