ABS and ASA are two very popular 3D printable filament materials, known for their exceptional strength and post-processing compatibility. While these two thermoplastics have similar names and are used for similar applications, the filaments are far from the same. ASA filament costs slightly more than ABS and is a bit less …

When it comes to 3D printing filaments, ABS isn’t typically the crowd favorite. While ABS filament is affordable and yields much more durable parts compared to PLA, the material is noticeably more difficult to print. Even more critical are its toxicity and safety concerns. Unlike PLA filament, which is sourced from …
