Before you print

2 things to know about this spool

Print 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.
OFD is the Open Filament Database, the community-maintained database this catalog is built on.

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, so 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.
