Whatever FormFutura is selling, it's not ASA. They might not have wanted to send filament to you because you exposed that their ASA is extremely impure and doesn't behave like ASA. Really appreciate these tests.

@@ScytheNoire I really enjoyed printing FormFutura for my Voron parts. Whenever I had warping issues, this was my solution. Interesting to see that the mixture also has its downsides. Pretty logical, but I would have never expected such a big difference. However, for my Voron it's working absolutely fine with no issues

They advertise it as a modified ASA with less warping. Changing material properties always has side effects but that doesn't make the stuff bad. And ASA is already a compound, so even Filament made only from A,S and A can be different to each other

Regarding the exhaust fan. Using a 4" diameter dryer vent hose alone was not enough to vent the printer which is a Bambu Lab P1S. I used a 120mm 12v computer fan which I had on hand at the end of the hose at the window end and that sufficed to vent the printer with no odor in the room. Thanks for all your work, I have found it incredibly useful.

@@MyTechFun In my opinion, no need to test Overture. It's identical to Polymaker. Import records (public info) show they come from the same factory in Suzhou, and I've run them side by side. The orange and purple for both is identical in color as are the spools. There are some who believe Overture is a sub-brand owned by Polymaker. I just know they have some filament coming from the same factory. There are other brands that also do the same. Flashforge makes for Voxel. Kexcelled owns / makes Hatchbox, which is their US brand (it's on their website, too). Kexcelled also produce a number of filaments for QIDI and others.

Great analysis, thanks! I primarily use eSun eASA so I'm happy that it was a solid contender on most metrics. I was planning on trying it for some drone frames, and it looks like a solid choice given its impact performance. I'm impressed with FlashForge's ASA too. Not great on impact performance, but it's very stiff and has very little creep, so it would be a good choice for structural parts in a 3D printer.

Thanks for the video! To filter the vapours from the filament, I installed the Bentobox system (with 2 radial fan mod), which circulates the air and filters it through HEPA and activated carbon. Advantage: The air temperature remains constant, no cold air is drawn in. However, for the system to work properly, the enclosure must be reasonably airtight.

Thank you for this testing Igor. I think the big barrier for large prints is the warping/shrinkage with ASA. I have only used Polymaker ASA at this point and can relate that it definitely warps. Would you be interested in doing a spinoff video on printing the Azurefilm and Formfutura with larger prints (maybe p1p bed size) for a true anti warping champion. Also, could add something to increase adhesion on some of the others that had low warping but other good performance metrics. Thanks again!

You know, another good test for ASA in the future might be rapid sun weathering - exposing it to UVA and some UVB frequencies (using UV lamps) for a bit then testing surface hardness and strength. After all, ASA is supposedly formulated to resist that kind of light damage, and a primary driver to select it over ABS for outdoor applications. Cheers!

10:26 You are pointing out that you have AC to keep the temperature constant, but that is not my concern since I have been using ASA the last few years. It is the airflow that will warp it immediately. I don't print with an enclosure, but I make sure all my fans are off, my window is closed and I do not walk up to the printer too fast or close the door to the room. Any of that will warp it instantly. I'm afraid that with an AC unit creating airflow right next to it will throw off the results greatly.

Your work is absolutely invaluable. Thank you. One suggestion if I may: Can you print a complex feature that would test the performance of these filaments? I'm talking overhangs, bridging, dimensional accuracy, print speed (very important) and warping, just to name a few.

I can get a good enough roll of 1KG ABS on ebay for £7 to £9, ASA isn't close to as cheap.

Yes. But if you need weather and UV resistance even the best price will not help.

@@MyTechFun Appreciate the tests. The reason I keep buying DuraPro ASA is because it was the only officially UL94 HB 1,5 mm antiflammabilty rated filament I knew. Turns out of the 10 ASA filaments you tested the 3DO ASA is also UL94 HB 1,5 mm rated. Thanks for making me aware of this alternative I could use. I wish there was an UL94 V-0 rated filament. Currently I have to choose ABS for that, which has less UV resistance. I don't think there is any technical reason why they couldn't make ASA with that rating.

Still various colors? We know pigment changes material behavior so not completely fair

You should definitely print more than one part per filament, per test. I would suggest do 3-5 of each. Try to keep filament in same color. Good work though!

Eh, when the YT algorithm will start to appreciate my videos, and I don't have to make them only for my curiosity, 3-5 test objects, here we go ;-) When I am writing some scientific article, I go with more test objects, but I am not doing it for myself only.

Wouldn’t same color for testing be better for data?

It's not obvious that they would use the same additives, even if they are the same colour.

You're not wrong, mentions color testing at the end of the video. He doesn't make a profit off of these videos, I don't think he explicitly says this, but I think he want to own a variety of colors.

Honestly it wouldn't matter. I work in plastics manufacturing. We have pigment we blend into our products. We have two pigment manufacturers. They each require their own trials and testing before we can use them. They each create different results. Different compounds can create the same pigment. We have 5 variations of white, each with a different density and different effects on our products.

Hi Igor, unfortunately your test tests are almost useless because each colour pigment creates different material characteristics. When we test materials from same manufacture but from different colours we get completely different results.

Your warping test is severely flawed and does not reflect reality. Reality of warping is for example overhang performance and warp while using fans. Or larger thin printed parts. Pla prints overhangs perfectly with max fans. Thin overhangs with asa however does not work well. My use of asa for example requires a chamber temperature of around 60-70c for the print to even finish and not crash mid print. Did you try this and do you know why?

@@riba2233 No. Every single cosplayer would use ASA if it printed overhangs, bridges and similar well. There's a reason you only print these small mechanical parts shown in the video. That is what people almost always print. As soon as you add fans, which you must for bridges and overhangs, you add warping. A frustrating factor that is introduced and inevitable with the material. If you have ever printed large ASA prints, long thin parts or difficult overhangs and bridges you would know what I mean. The frustrating part is that this weakness of ASA isnt the focus. How they handle this is the pinnacle of ASA progress for the different companies the last few years. If cosplayers and other hobby printers could print ASA as PLA they would almost always use the ASA as it is so much better for the use, apart from the printability. I understand this might go over most peoples heads who mostly print PLA, but ASA would be the absolute best material if it cleared this hurdle.
