This product did not work very well for me due to layer separation. I am going back to Polymaker or 3DXtech ASA filament and will evaluate colorFabb next .When I first got this roll, I quickly realized that I needed to crank the temperature way up because my parts were extremely brittle (printed at recommended 260C nozzle, 110 bed). This was printed in an enclosure, with glue stick applied to build plate. So after bumping the nozzle all the way up to 280C, my parts are still fracturing at the layer seams. When I print the same parts in PLA, they are a lot stronger in comparison and don't crack along the layer lines. I would not buy this filament again for any parts that are expected to see any load whatsoever; only for decorative purposes. But then that kind of defeats the point of ASA, might as well save your money and either buy PLA for decorative prints, or a better brand of ASA. I just got some eASA from eSun, and it behaves a lot better at 260C from what I can tell so far.No layer adhesion at all. Like at all. Will string but won't adhere. Just total junk.I have my ender 5 plus 3D printer dialed in with polymaker polylite ASA and ordered this because Amazon was out of the polylite. This stuff is horrible in comparison. I have wasted half a roll trying to get good bed adhesion which I’ve never had a problem with using my 110c bed. This whole roll has been a complete wasteGreat filament for outdoor use applications. Requires high temps while printing but once you get it dialed you get great results that will last even outdoors!I had much better experience with the black vs the white for some reason.I bought this for printing outdoor projects, such as small solar panel mounts, and am hoping the UV resistance will be good. I was able to print the mounts successfully on a Prusa Mk3 on the smooth PEI bed using hairspray and printing with a brim. The prints turned out well, with appearance much like PLA. I don't have an enclosure, but I did use a drape over the printer to try keep the temperature more stable. I used 260C nozzle temperature and 110C bed temperature, with the PrusaSlicer Prusa ASA settings. Initially, I did see the ASA characteristic layer warping off of the bed without the brim and the drape, which caused the prints to fail.
