ASA Black is a deep, true black built for outdoor use — UV-stable rather than just heat-resistant, so it holds its colour and strength after months in the sun where standard ABS would yellow and degrade.
It matches ABS in strength and heat resistance while adding genuine weather resistance, making it a reliable choice for automotive and outdoor parts. Print on an enclosed printer with a heated bed (90–110°C) for best results.
Best Uses
- Outdoor enclosures and automotive components
- Garden tools, brackets, and fixtures
- Signage and housings exposed to sunlight
- Functional prototypes needing long-term outdoor durability

ASA filament (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a tough, weather-resistant filament designed for outdoor and high-performance applications. It offers similar strength and heat resistance to ABS, with the added benefit of excellent UV stability and improved resistance to weathering and chemicals. ASA is ideal for parts exposed to sunlight, heat, and the elements, making it a go-to material for long-lasting functional prints. Common uses include outdoor enclosures, automotive parts, fixtures, and engineering components where durability truly matters.
Why Choose ASA?
- Excellent UV resistance
- Good strength and heat resistance
- Better outdoor durability than ABS
- Suitable for functional and exterior parts
Best Uses
ASA filament is ideal for outdoor brackets, enclosures, garden parts, automotive-style parts, signage, and prints exposed to sunlight.
