Professional Lab ASA Blue / Blue 1 kg

Prof. Lab ASA Blue – professional ASA filament for outdoor and technical parts

Prof. Lab ASA Blue is a quality ASA filament designed for reliable 3D printing of functional and technical parts that must withstand demanding conditions. Thanks to a combination of high mechanical strength, temperature and UV resistance, it is particularly suitable for use in outdoor environments and in industrial applications.

ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is a modern alternative to ABS. It offers similar strength and thermal resistance but handles weathering and solar radiation better, so prints maintain color and mechanical properties over the long term.

Uses of Prof. Lab ASA Blue filament

This filament is ideal for users looking for a reliable material for functional parts not only for the interior but especially for the exterior:

• technical and functional parts exposed to mechanical stress
• covers, holders, grips, and structural components
• outdoor elements (garden components, terrace, pool, bike, etc.)
• auto parts, jigs, and templates
• prototypes that must withstand higher temperatures and UV radiation

Key properties

• ASA material – high strength and stiffness similar to ABS
• High UV resistance – prints do not fade or become brittle in the sun
• Weather resistance – suitable for outdoor use
• Good temperature resistance – prints maintain shape even at elevated temperatures
• Lower shrinkage than ABS – less risk of deformation with correct print settings
• Blue color – bold, rich shade suitable for technical and design parts
• Standard diameter 1.75 mm for common FFF/FDM 3D printers
• Weight 1 kg – ideal packaging for regular and professional printing

Recommended printing parameters

Specific settings may vary by printer and conditions, but for ASA filaments of this type, the following are usually used:

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 240–260 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 90–110 °C
• Recommended environment: closed or covered print chamber to limit warping
• Cooling: rather low or off, depending on model shape

Before the first print, we recommend performing a short test to fine-tune the ideal temperature for the specific printer and print style.

Why choose Prof. Lab ASA Blue

Prof. Lab ASA Blue 1 kg is a suitable choice for more advanced users and professionals who need:

• reliable material for functional, mechanically stressed parts
• resistance to UV radiation and long-term weather influences
• high-quality filament with consistent diameter and stable printing behavior

If you are looking for a filament that can handle outdoor environments, higher temperatures, and mechanical loads, ASA is a more suitable choice compared to PLA or PETG – especially where long-term durability and print stability matter.

Key features:

• Professional ASA filament for demanding technical and functional parts
• High resistance to UV radiation and weather influences – ideal for outdoor use
• Good temperature resistance and dimensional stability of prints
• Mechanical strength and stiffness comparable to ABS, but better resistance to aging
• Blue color suitable for technical and design components
• Standard diameter 1.75 mm and weight 1 kg for most FDM/FFF 3D printers
