Source: Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers
In the past, I wrote a weekly article for the Make: Blog that we called Filament Fridays. It was a collection of 3D printer filaments each having a unique characteristic. I’m excited to bring these back as Material Mondays, but instead of just focusing in on 3D printer filaments, we are going to discuss lots of materials that Makers can use to create their projects.
Most of these will still be digital fabrication focused, but on top of FFF filaments we will also include SLA resins, laser cuttable materials, CNC materials and a host of other goodies. If there is a material you would like to see me put to the test and write about, drop me an email or hit me up on twitter, @MattStultz.This week we are sticking with the filament roots and taking a look at ASA filament. ASA or Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate shares many of the same qualities as ABS but comes with a few bonuses also. Like ABS, ASA has a high glass transition temperature and impact resistance compared to PLA, making it more resilient for use in projects that might be in a warm place…
