A Quick filament strength test of 3DxTech's Carbon fiber ASA. This sample of CF-ASA hooks were exposed to 20 days of continuous UV to see how the material reacts to prolong UV exposure. ASA is highly resistant against UV so I wanted to put it to the test and the results were interesting.
I also took a look at the snapped hook's cross sections to see how the prints broke. The ASA didn't have great layer adhesion but Both ABS and ASA are not well known for their layer adhesion. And the addition of carbon fiber into the filament did not help. Overall the CF-ASA is very stiff and prints quite well although it will warp significantly with larger prints even when in an enclosure at times. So I highly recommend the use of a bed adhesive and/or a brim as well. #3dprint #3dprinted #3dprinting #experiment #science #filament
