ASA filament for heat-resistant and outdoor parts
Part of the heat-resistant filament guide. ASA prints much like ABS and is usually chosen for parts that live outdoors, such as garden fixtures, exterior brackets and mounts that see sun. Check each product datasheet for UV claims; this site does not rate UV resistance. Nothing here was printed or measured by this site; every value links to its source.
What Bambu says about printing it
| Category | In Bambu's table? | Bambu Lab A1 mini | Bambu Lab A1 | Bambu Lab P1S | Bambu Lab X1 Carbon (X1C) | AMS | AMS lite |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASA | Yes | Not Recommended | Not Recommended | Recommended | Recommended | Compatible | Compatible |
| ASA-CF/GF | No (derived, see note) | Not rated (Bambu recommends an enclosed printer) | Not rated (Bambu recommends an enclosed printer) | Recommended (Bambu printer-requirements table) | Recommended (Bambu printer-requirements table) | Not rated by Bambu | Not rated by Bambu |
- ASA-CF/GF: Not a row in Bambu's compatibility table. Bambu's printer-requirements table groups ABS, ASA, PC, PA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires a hardened steel nozzle for CF/GF materials. (source)
| Material group | Hardened steel nozzle | Nozzle temp (°C) | Bed temp (°C) | Drying before use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASA | Not required | 240–280 | 90–100 | Recommended: 80 °C for 8 h (oven) |
| ASA-CF | Required (CF/GF rule) | — | — | — |
- ASA-CF: No ASA-CF row in Bambu's compatibility table; Bambu's printer table groups ASA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires hardened steel for CF/GF materials. Bambu recommends glue stick for ASA-CF. (source)
Heat-resistance values from manufacturer datasheets
Sorted by HDT at 0.45 MPa. A dash means the datasheet does not give that value (or gives it without a stated load), so it is left blank rather than estimated. HDT is a lab comparison value measured on test bars under a fixed load, not a rated service temperature, and depends on test method, print orientation and annealing. Retrieved .

ASA products in the database
Products with enough sourced data for a page, datasheet heat values first. Enclosure and nozzle columns come from the product's Bambu category plus the database's abrasive and fibre tags; open a product page for the basis of each.
