Opened filament cannot be returned for change of mind. Filament is hygroscopic — drying before use is recommended. Suspected manufacturing defects are assessed via our support ticket and replaced if confirmed. See our Returns, Refunds & Warranty policy and Warranty page for full details.
Weather-resistant ASA for functional outdoor prints
Polymaker ASA combines ABS-like strength and durability with improved UV and weather resistance. It is suited to outdoor housings, enclosures, brackets, fixtures and prototypes exposed to sunlight and changing weather.
Formerly PolyLite ASA: Polymaker has renamed this range Polymaker ASA. Packaging may still carry the PolyLite name during the transition.
This listing supplies 1 kg spools of 1.75 mm filament only. Choose your colour above. Galaxy colours are the Galaxy-effect ASA variants.
Printer requirements
An enclosed printer is required to retain warmth and reduce warping. An all-metal hotend capable of reaching 250 °C or above is recommended. Use appropriate ventilation and avoid breathing printing emissions.
