SainSmart GT-3 High-Speed ASA Filament – 1.75mm, 1kg (2.2 lb), Black

Overview

The GT-3 High-Speed ASA Filament is engineered for users who need exceptional outdoor durability, weather resistance, and high-speed printing performance. Designed to withstand UV exposure, heat, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions, ASA is the preferred material for outdoor functional parts, automotive components, signage, and industrial applications.

Optimized for modern high-speed 3D printers, GT-3 ASA supports printing speeds up to 500 mm/s while maintaining excellent layer adhesion, dimensional stability, and surface quality. For the best balance of speed and print performance, a print speed of approximately 300 mm/s is recommended.
