(Coming Soon) ASA QBL Filament - ASA Gardening. & Outdoor Utility Filament (1.75mm)

ASA QBL Filaments – Outdoor & UV Resistant Functional Filament (1.75mm)

Launching end of March

For gardeners who need parts that survive heat, sun, moisture, and real outdoor conditions.

QBL Filaments ASA is a professional-grade 3D printing filament purpose-selected for gardening, grow rooms, greenhouses, subfloor installs, and permanent outdoor plant setups. Unlike PLA or PETG, ASA is engineered to handle long-term UV exposure, elevated temperatures, and harsh conditions without fading, embrittlement, or structural failure.

This is filament for serious functional use — not decorative prints.

Bambu Lab & AMS Compatible

High-strength PC+ABS reusable plastic spool — no cardboard dust, no deformation in humidity.

Vacuum sealed with desiccant for moisture protection.

Why ASA for Gardening & Plant Applications?

Most outdoor prints fail for one simple reason: UV and heat.

QBL Filaments ASA is built to withstand both.

• UV-stable – resists chalking, fading and surface degradation

• Heat resistant – performs in hot sheds, grow tents and summer climates

• Moisture tolerant – low water absorption for humid environments

• Strong and impact resistant – resists cracking under load or vibration

• Long service life outdoors – suitable for permanent installations

ASA is the material you choose when you don’t want to reprint parts every season.

Perfect For Printing

• Airflow guides, vent adapters & fan shrouds

• Plant clips, trellis clips & vine supports

• Pot feet, risers & drainage spacers

• Hose guides & irrigation mounts

• Fan brackets, duct clips & cable guides

• Grow-tent accessories & sensor mounts

• Greenhouse hardware & custom fixtures

• Subfloor ventilation accessories

• Outdoor brackets, hooks & utility parts

If it lives around plants, heat, airflow, or sunlight — ASA is the right tool.

Made for Real-World Conditions

QBL Filaments ASA offers a balanced combination of rigidity and toughness, allowing parts to hold shape while absorbing stress and impact.

• Tensile strength: ~37 MPa

• Flexural strength: ~65 MPa

• Heat deflection temperature: ~100 °C

• Low shrinkage with a clean, professional surface finish

The result: dimensionally stable prints that remain reliable after months — even years — outdoors.

Printing Notes

ASA is not beginner PLA — and that’s intentional.

• Best results with an enclosed printer

• Higher nozzle and bed temperatures required

• Minimal cooling recommended

If you’re comfortable printing PETG or ABS, ASA will feel familiar — with superior weather resistance.

Once dialled in, ASA is extremely consistent and repeatable.
