Fiberlogy Matte ASA 1.75 mm Black 750 g

Fiberlogy Matte ASA Filament Description for 3D Printers

Discover Fiberlogy Matte ASA – an innovative filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm and a weight of 750 g, combining all the advantages of the time-tested ASA filament with an elegant matte surface. This material from 3D4U is the perfect solution for projects where not only exceptional durability but also excellent appearance is important.

Matte ASA inherits high resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and temperatures up to 92°C from its glossy counterpart. However, its key feature is a deep matte texture that not only gives products a stylish and modern look but also effectively masks the layer lines characteristic of FDM/FFF 3D printing. This allows for more aesthetically pleasing and "finished" objects straight off the print bed.

Thanks to its relatively low shrinkage (compared to ABS) and good adhesion, Matte ASA ensures stable and predictable printing even for complex models. It is ideal for demanding applications both indoors and outdoors, especially where functionality must be combined with impeccable appearance – from automotive components and electronics housings to interior design elements and decor.

Properties of Fiberlogy Matte ASA Filament

Fiberlogy Matte ASA combines the best qualities of engineering filament with superior aesthetics:

• Elegant matte surface: Gives products a premium look and effectively hides the visibility of print layers.
• High UV resistance: Ideal for outdoor use, retains color and properties under sunlight exposure.
• Weather resistance: Resistant to moisture, rain, and temperature fluctuations.
• Heat resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 92°C (HDT @ 0.45 MPa).
• Strength and stiffness: Possesses mechanical properties similar to standard ASA and ABS.
• Low shrinkage (relative to ABS): Simplifies printing and reduces the risk of warping.
• Ease of printing (relative to ABS): Less demanding on printing conditions than ABS due to lower shrinkage.
• Low odor emission during printing: More comfortable printing process compared to ABS.

Applications of Fiberlogy Matte ASA

The combination of durability and matte aesthetics makes Fiberlogy Matte ASA an ideal choice for:

• Automotive components: Interior and exterior parts where appearance matters (trims, housings, accessories).
• Interior and exterior design: Decorative elements, lamps, vases, outdoor decorations.
• Electronics housings: Creating stylish and durable housings for gadgets, devices, sensors.
• Architectural models: Models with a realistic matte surface, resistant to fading.
• Consumer goods: Organizers, stands, tools, where tactile and visual appeal is important.
• Functional prototypes: Prototypes whose appearance is as close as possible to the final product.

Fiberlogy Matte ASA Print Settings

To achieve the best results when printing with Fiberlogy Matte ASA filament, it is recommended to use settings similar to standard ASA. Optimal settings may vary slightly depending on your specific FDM 3D printer.

Note: Like standard ASA, Matte ASA benefits from printing in an enclosed chamber or with protection from drafts to ensure dimensional stability and prevent layer separation. Use adhesives and/or a brim for reliable adhesion to the build plate.

Tips for 3D Printing with Fiberlogy Matte ASA

Printing Matte ASA is largely similar to printing standard ASA, but there are a few nuances related to the matte surface:

• Hiding Defects: The matte surface excellently hides fine layer lines but may highlight other defects like uneven extrusion or "salmon skin". Ensure your printer is well-calibrated.
• Drying is Mandatory: Like any ASA, Matte ASA is hygroscopic. Drying at 80°C for 4 hours before printing is crucial for maintaining the matte texture and preventing defects.
• Temperature and Environment Control: Use an enclosed chamber or draft shield for print stability and to prevent warping/layer separation.
• Adhesion: Ensure reliable bed adhesion (90-110°C) using a PEI surface or adhesives.
• Acetone Post-Processing: Acetone vapor smoothing is possible, but it will destroy the matte texture, making the surface glossy like standard ASA. If the matte finish is important, avoid chemical processing. Mechanical processing (sanding) is possible but may alter the surface appearance.
• Ventilation: Don't forget good room ventilation during printing.
