Bambu Lab ASA filament
Resistant to UV, rain and heat: ASA is made for prints that have to stay outdoors, from the garden and the car to camping. Print it in an enclosed printer for the best results. You can see the stock for every colour, and you only order what’s actually on the shelf.

ASA or ABS?
Two tough materials, one big difference
ASA
UV-resistant: ideal for anything that lives outdoors, such as garden parts, car accessories and outdoor housings.
ABS
Just as tough and heat-resistant, but less resistant to sunlight. A great choice for technical prints indoors.

How to get the most out of your ASA
Enclosed printer
Like ABS, ASA shrinks as it cools. Print it in an enclosed printer to avoid warping. ASA Aero and ASA-CF require an enclosed printer.
Store it dry
Dry ASA before use, for example for 8 hours at 80 °C, and store it airtight below 20% humidity.
The right build plate
Print ASA on the Textured PEI, Smooth PEI or Engineering Plate, not on the Cool Plate. For ASA Aero, Bambu Lab recommends the Engineering or High Temperature Plate, with glue.
The right nozzle
Regular ASA prints with any nozzle. ASA-CF needs a hardened steel nozzle, not 0.2 mm. Print ASA Aero with a 0.4 mm nozzle.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ASA really suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. ASA is resistant to UV light, water and heat, so it stays looking good and strong outdoors for a long time. That makes it an excellent choice for prints that stay outside all year round.
Can I print ASA on an A1?
Bambu Lab recommends an enclosed printer for ASA, and for ASA Aero and ASA-CF it is required. If you have an open printer, choose PETG for your outdoor prints.
Does ASA work in the AMS?
Yes. ASA works in the AMS and the AMS lite. ASA Aero and ASA-CF work in the AMS, but not in the AMS lite.
Can I order a colour that is out of stock?
No, you can only order what is actually in stock. Each product page shows how many units of each colour are available. If a colour is temporarily unavailable, ask to be notified on the product page or get in touch with us.
How fast is delivery?
In-stock items are usually delivered within 1 to 3 working days in Belgium. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
