ASA density and cost per gram

ASA density runs from 1.05 to 1.13 g/cm³ across makers' datasheets. The price per gram from their stores, and the plastic in a 480 g fixture.

Density, by datasheet

ASABambu Lab TDS1.05 g/cm³ · 396 m per kg
ASAElegoo1.09 g/cm³ · 381 m per kg
Polymaker ASAPolymaker1.13 g/cm³ · 368 m per kg

Metres per kilogram of 1.75 mm filament, worked out from each density: a denser plastic puts fewer metres on the same kilogram, so a slicer that reports length needs the density of the roll you load.

What fixture plate costs in plastic

480 g of model and 10 g of purge and supports, both charged at the spool’s price per gram.

The plastic is one line of a quote. Power, machine hours, your time and failed prints are the rest, and the cost calculator prices them all.

From the ASA datasheets

  • Bambu Lab's ASA datasheet asks for a 45 to 60 °C chamber while it prints, and rates the material at 100 °C of heat deflection under 0.45 MPa.Bambu Lab TDS
  • Prusa Polymers recommends a skirt or an enclosure for Prusament ASA, with the bed at 110 °C and the nozzle at 260 °C.Prusament
  • A Prusament ASA spool holds 800 g, not a kilogram, so its price per gram is higher than its shelf price suggests.Prusa store
