Short sweet all I need to know. Thanks.

[@casualreefkeeping]

ASA has become my go to for anything needing to be tougher than pla. With an enclosed printer, like the P1S I'm using, it's been hassle free.

[@thenextlayer]

Definitely, but it is usually more expensive than ABS, so maybe overkill if you don't need the UV protection.

[@casualreefkeeping]

@thenextlayer funny enough I've barely even touched abs. Petg is a great, more cost effective choice though. I am curious if asa would be better for aquarium goods that are 3d printed over petg. Flow nozzles and such I've done in petg, and even tpu in saltwater. Can't say any have seemed to breakdown yet, but my oldest one is maybe 4 years.

​@@casualreefkeepingwhat kind of petg Filament are you using in your Aquarium. I have problems with my petg because it seems to get eaten by the bacteria.

[@casualreefkeeping]

@sbs7396 I was buying a lot of duramic or Inland but I've never noticed that issue with any brand I've used before.

​@@thenextlayerpolycarbonate carbon fibre and fiber glass best for Fdm strong industrial grade prints work no bs style

[@frankroquemore4946]

Idk how else to say it, I really liked your voice in this video especially for some reason

[@pavolkrajcik7675]

Try Nonoilen .. printing 190C and 50 bed, and closed chamber.

[@riba2233]

How is abs rigid?

[@sfsspace58]

How about carbon fibre

[@MrHotjag]

I think cnc kitchen exposed abs for being very weak

[@NutzinHutz3D]

[@AndrewTheRadarMan]

Nylon!

[@thenextlayer]

Coming in a week! Stay subbed

[@mitchellbernstein42]

Can I use the ABS setting on my printer to use for ASA?

[@thenextlayer]

Kinda. You should up the bed temp and hot end temp by around 10 degrees each ideally.

[@BitSmythe]

See what it says on the package. Different brands may vary a bit.

[@micver1091]

P.e.t.g. Is stronger then a.b..s. A.b.s. needs to be in a inclosed .
