Welcome to Cairns Technology Hub. We are introducing a premium 1.75 mm ASA filament is manufactured with a precision of +- 0.03 mm. Prusament ASA Filament Prusa Signal White 850g
Prusament ASA Filament is our own in-house made filament. The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – we guarantee ±0.03mm precision and highly-consistent colours. You can inspect the parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com. Check the sample spool!
We were not satisfied with the quality of ASA Filament on the market. So we decided to make our own! Prusa Research is the only 3D printer manufacturer with its own Prusament ASA Filament production.
PREMIUM-GRADE MATERIALS AND THOROUGH TESTING
Prusament ASA Filament Prusa Signal White
The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – string diameter, color consistency, and mechanical properties – to make sure that every spool of Prusament ASA is perfect.
± 0.03 MM MANUFACTURING PRECISION
ASA Filament Prusa Signal White
We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.03mm precision and highly-consistent colors in our Prusament ASA Filament.
HIGH QUALITY YOU CAN CHECK YOURSELF

ASA can be considered a true successor to ABS. Compared to ABS, it’s UV stable, it doesn’t suffer from shrinking so badly and the fumes produced are much less noticeable. ASA 3D prints are durable, tough and suitable for a wide range of applications. The solidification temperature is also higher compared to PLA and PETG, which gives objects printed from ASA an excellent temperature resistance – there are no signs of deformation up to temperatures near 93 °C. Thanks to all these properties, ASA is especially suitable to print objects meant for long-time outside use.
However, you can still encounter some issues related to shrinking (warping) of the material – especially when printing larger models. Even with the heatbed set to 110°C, the prints can shrink and warp, causing them to detach from the print bed. However, the effects are much less severe compared to ABS. This issue can be eliminated by printing inside an enclosure or by adding a tall skirt around the object.
You can find more details about printing with ASA in our in-depth article.
ASA printing requires specific conditions for successful results. It’s important to run the prints in a well-ventilated room, because the material releases fumes and substances that could pose a potential health risk. However, when ventilating the room, do not create a draft around the print – this will negatively impact the result.
