ABS and ASA FAQ
Are there any printing requirements?
Are there any printing requirements?
Both ABS and ASA will require an enclosed printer in order to print properly. This is because an increased ambient air temp (over 45ËšC) will make it so you can print without warping or delamination.
It may be possible to print without an enclosure - but the larger and more dense your part is - the more important an enclosure will be. Learn more about Warping.
If you want increased bed adhesion - we would recommend trying Magigoo Original.
What is difference between ABS and ASA?
What is difference between ABS and ASA?
ASA is almost exactly the same as ABS with 1 major difference and 1 minor difference:
The major difference is ASA is extremely good at weather resistance. (Resistance to UV light and environmental stress cracking)
The minor difference is ASA prints with a nicer matte finish slightly hiding the layer lines.
The mechanical properties and print settings for both will be extremely similar.
Can ABS and ASA be smoothed with acetone?
Can ABS and ASA be smoothed with acetone?
Yes, PolyLite™ ABS and ASA can be smoothed with acetone.
WARNING: Acetone is a dangerous chemical, please handle it with the necessary safety precautions.
We recommend PolySmooth™ as a safer alternative to create smooth surface models.

Will the spools work in an AMS?
Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.
