Before you print
2 things to know about this spoolPrint inside an enclosure
It cools too fast in open air and can warp or crack. A closed-in printer holds the heat around the print.
Give it plenty of fresh air
It gives off fumes as it prints. Run it in a well-ventilated room or a filtered enclosure, not a closed bedroom.
New here? Nozzle = printing temperature in your slicer, bed = build plate. Start at the big number.
- Nozzle is the hot-end temperature: enter it as the printing temperature in your slicer. Start at the big number; the range is the safe window to tune within.
- Bed is the heated build plate: your slicer calls it bed temperature. It helps prints stick.

Editorial notesUpdated 2026-05-10
Strong fumes — always print with ventilation or active filtration, same as ABS.
ASA yellows and embrittles under UV far more slowly than PLA or ABS — use it for anything that lives outside (mounts, planters, fixtures). Print in an enclosure; even a cardboard box around the printer cuts warping significantly. Bed temp 90 °C, nozzle 240–250 °C.
