Bring stellar aesthetics and industrial-grade durability together. Polymaker PolyLite™ Galaxy ASA features a striking glitter-infused aesthetic paired with the rugged, all-weather performance of premium Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate. Engineered as an upgraded alternative to traditional ABS, PolyLite ASA delivers exceptional UV resistance, enhanced structural properties, and a gorgeous, layer-masking finish ideal for functional real-world applications.
ASA vs. ABS: What Makes it Better?
While sharing a similar mechanical DNA to ABS, ASA introduces two critical upgrades for structural and functional engineering projects:
Maximum Weatherability: Exceptional resistance to intense ultraviolet (UV) exposure and severe environmental stress cracking, protecting parts from yellowing or becoming brittle when left outdoors.
Enhanced Visual Quality: Prints with a smooth, premium matte texture. Combined with the signature Galaxy glitter flake, it masterfully hides layer lines for beautiful, presentation-ready components right off the print bed.
Key Performance Specifications
Form Factor: 1kg Spool (Premium, eco-friendly cardboard construction)
UV & Heat Resistance: Ideal for automotive exterior modifications, outdoor fixtures, drone frames, and protective functional housings.
Mechanical Integrity: Exceptional impact resistance and high tensile strength to ensure long-term durability under stress.
Print & Calibration Guidelines
Optimize your slicer profiles to these verified manufacturer recommendations:
Extruder/Nozzle Temperature: 240°C – 260°C
Heated Bed Temperature: 75°C – 95°C
Printing Speed Range: 30mm/s – 50mm/s
Part Cooling Fan: OFF (Ensures optimal structural layer bonding and limits warping stress)
Enclosure Requirements: For small prints, an enclosure is optional. For structural prints larger than the size of a fist, a heated or well-insulated enclosure is highly recommended to manage dimensional stability and eliminate cold air drafting.
Retraction Configurations
Direct Drive Extruders: Retraction Distance: 1mm | Retraction Speed: 20mm/s
