ELEGOOASA Filament 1.75mm White 1KG, UV & Weather Resistant 3D Printer Filament Perfect for Outdoor Functional Parts, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs)

The media could not be loaded. i use this to print re-useable spools for elegoo spools and various other things that require high heat. prints great and there is zero fuss. so far its been a 100% success rate. if youre printing a big piece, youll need to add a 5mm brim so it does wrap the edges. the other parts dont warp, which is a good thing.there is def a ASA smell, but its minimal. make sure its an unoccupied well ventilated room or you have proper ducting. you dont want to be breathing this in.You NEED TO DRY all asa filament. It doesn’t matter what the mfg says. I dry mine at 90c for 6-10hrs prior to use.if you have a X1c, you'll want to heat up your chamber to about 50C first.X1C print specs:AMS profile: polymaker ASA50C chamber temp105C bed (PEI, engineering or high temp engineering)75-100mm/s (75 for the infill and 100 for the walls)260c nozzle tempK=0.025add 5mm brim

Used it for 3d prints to use outdoors or in my car. Prints fine, would buy again!

Probably my favorite ASA filament I have used, miles better than Polymaker with a better finish than Flashforge. Has great layer adhesion when printed at 270C with up to 35% fan. Good overhangs too. Price is also the best.Only cons are the bed adhesion, I ended up using Vision Miner bed glue, which solved my problems, and some warping on the first 5mm of layers, likely due to my normal 105c bed temp. You will need an enclosure at minimum.Overall my favorite ASA of the 4+ brands I have used.

The media could not be loaded. Elegoo reached out and offered some solutions and when that did not fix the issues, sent out a replacement spool from a new batch. They did ask for a picture of the batch number to identify to problem with their supplier. After recalibrating and tests, the new batch works very well. I added a pic of the new piece to compare.I’ll bump up to 4 stars and will wait to receive the new spool shipped from amazon. Should i receive the new batch from amazon stock, i’ll put it up to 5 stars as no other brand sells great quality asa at this price.(The new spool arrived from amazon with the new batch id. I see no issue bumping my rating up. As it stands, there is no better value for asa currently.)Big thanks to Jenny for following up.Previous review:A definite issue with the filament that can’t be explained just by moisture.“While a stellar price, something is unfortunately wrong with this batch of filament. Even drying overnight and bringing the measured moisture under 10% the issues continues. Not sure if it is more than just moisture but it causes several print issues. Any savings have been lost by the time troubleshooting alone.See video of released steam and the gaps in the extrusion showing where the pop happens.”

While I have used some ASA that is worse than this, Elegoo ASA is pretty close to bottom of the barrel.I've had multiple failures from layer adhesion issues with this filament that I haven't had with others. Warpage is also worse with this ASA than most others. The straw that really pushed me over the edge was the MANY errors I got from this filament not being spooled correctly. Maybe this was just a bad batch, but Elegoo is now on my "do not buy" list due to my experiences with this ASA. It has cost me more hours of my life than I care to admit.For reference/background, I currently have 4 - 3D printers, with almost 99% of what I'm doing coming off of my two X1C with AMS printers. While I'm not one to setup at trade shows and events, I do keep between 50-100 kg of filament on hand in a humidity controlled cabinet. I have printed everything from award winning cosplay pieces, to car parts, to functional prints that are being used in several medivac helicopters.

I needed a filament that would withstand high temperatures post print AND was compatible with HIPS support filament for some crazy designs. Enter ASA filament.A couple of caveats, some I knew going in, but others I had to learn the hard way. This filament will not stick to a textured PEI sheet by itself. I tried cleaning thoroughly before every attempt, tape, glue stick, and even tried taping the odd edge that curled up 20-30% into the print. Not to mention adjusting nozzle and bed temps to no avail.It wasn't until I returned to Amazon in search of any review on ASA that might have tips to improve adhesion. After some digging, I did find one reviewer stating similar struggles that finally had success using a slurry of ASA filament dissolved in acetone. I was very apprehensive about using a harsh solvent on my build plate, but after a few more failed attempts it was time.I didn't have acetone, but did have plenty of brake cleaner (non-chlorinated) that eventually did dissolve the ASA. I painted that on the build plate where my next print would be, waited for it to dry (not long), and started the print. Perfect adhesion!! I was so excited but kept it in check until the print passed the 30% mark. By that point, i felt comfortable enough to walk away and came back to a 100% finished part.Learned lessons: Only paint the slurry where you part is going to print. Otherwise, you will have a hard time getting it off again. The print pulls up the dried slurry, leaving clean PEI build plate. In the second picture, you can see where I misjudged where the print would start. Even with only half of the print on the slurry and the other half on bare PEI (yes it did curl 50% into the print), it was enough to keep the part in place to 100% print.Next Caveat: ASA puts off toxic fumes when melted, as well as HIPS. So use only in a well-ventilated room. Ideally, vented out a window. Another option would be to move the printer into a garage or shed until you're through with printing those materials.The final printed product of this filament is a nice matte black, smooth surface (even at 0.15mm layer height), and very strong. My first success print was a knob shown in picture. Excited to try this filament on more designs soon.
