3DXMAX® ASA

3DXMAXASA

I have my parameters dialed in and get consistent results with this filament in all colors tested so far. It's more expensive than generic ASA but worth the extra money for the results I get. It has been out of stock at my usual retailer for months so I have started ordering directly from 3DXTECH.

Looking elsewhere

Aside from the high cost, compared to competitors, and the fact that the spools do not work in an AMS, this product has additional drawbacks. I’ve now tried the red and green ASA and found that both tend to bleed into other colors during printing, far more than and any other ASA from other suppliers. I can use the 3Dmax filament only if I double the purge volumes. Even then, it has a tendency to form residue at the exit points of the hotends. Lord help you if you don’t keep it scrupulously dry.

My go to filament

I use this for just about everything. It prints really nice, has really minimal warping and makes strong parts. I am a hobbyist with 2 home built Vorons. I prefer the 4 kg rolls so I can just keep printing.
