Filament Polymaker PolyLite ASA Black [1,75mm, 1kg]

PolyLite™ ASA is an alternative to ABS with increased weather resistance. Its UV resistance and excellent mechanical properties make it an ideal choice for real-world applications.

What is the difference between ASA and ABS?
ASA is almost exactly the same as ABS with 1 major and 1 minor difference:
The main difference is that ASA is extremely weather resistant (UV resistance and environmental cracking).
A minor difference is that ASA prints with a nicer matte finish slightly obscuring the layer lines.

Does PolyLite™ ASA require a closed 3D printer?
Yes and no, you can check out the reviews below for more information, but as a rule of thumb, the larger your print (bigger than the size of your fist), the more enclosure will be required for dimensional stability.
