My first print
1) Prepare the gcode
Download the MyFirstPrint.stl on www.polymaker.com
Load the stl file in your favorite slicer.
Enter the correct settings for PolyLite™ ASA;
Property Value
Nozzle temperature 240˚C-260˚C
Bed temperature 75˚C-95˚C
Nozzle speed 30mm/s – 50mm/s
Cooling fan OFF
Layer height 0.1
Number of outlines (shell) 3
2) Prepare the printer
- Clean the build plate and prepare it with the right surface:
We recommend to print PolyLite™ ASA on BuildTak® or using Magigoo.
- Level the build plate.
- It is recommended to clean the nozzle when you change the material to
prevent partial clog.
Infill 20%

Brim or Raft
Note: It is recommended to use an enclosure to print PolyLite™ ASA to prevent warping issue.
It is recommended to place the printer in a well ventilated area.

3) Prepare the filament
- Carefully open the resealable bag, remove the spool and close the bag
back to preserve the desiccant bag.
- It is recommended to store PolyLite™ ASA in the PolyBox™ to prevent
moisture absorption which will lower the quality and the mechanical
properties of the print.
- Load the filament in your printer and wait until you have a consistent
extrusion.
- At the end of the print, make sure to correctly store the filament back in
the resealable bag if you are not using the PolyBox™.
4) Start the print
When the print begins make sure the first layer is correctly laid down and
sticking well to the bed before leaving the printer to finish the print.
5) Post process
PolyLite™ ASA can be wet sanded to obtain a smoother surface.
PolyLite™ ASA can be chemically smoothed with acetone. We highly
recommend to use our PolySmooth™ filament for this purpose as it can
be smooth with IPA which is safer to manipulate than acetone.

PolyLiteTM ASA
PolyLite™ ASA is an alternative to ABS with an improved weather
resistance. Its UV resistance and excellent mechanical properties make it
the perfect choice for real life application.

WARP-FREE™
With Ash-Free
Ash content: 0.003%
TM
Warp-Free™ technology enables the production
of Nylon -based filaments that c an be 3D printed
with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero
warpage. This is achieved by the fine control of
micro-structure and crystallization behavior of
Nylon, which en ables the material to fully re lease the
internal stress before so lidific ation .
Without Ash-Free
Ash content: 0.5%
TM
LAYER-FREE™
Layer-Free™ technology involves exposi ng a 3D
printed part to an aerosol of micro-sized alco hol
droplets, generated by a rapidly vibrating,
perforated membrane called the nebulizer. The
aeroso l will then be adsorbed by the surface of the
3D printed part and render it smooth and layer-free.
