Hi, I have already printed some RC planes in Bambulab PLA-Aero and ASA-Aero: these are excellent materials and for both I have found the settings that satisfy me. As regards the impact resistance of the printed model, ASA always beats PLA, while if we look at the delamination (layer adhesion), exceeding 265° the performance of ASA Aero drops rapidly compared to PLA so the aircraft is overall more fragile. I print ASA Aero at 255° with a flow-rate of 0.68 (chamber temperature 50°) max speed 70mm/s, while I print PLA Aero at 260° (open chamber) with a flow-rate of 0.46 doubling the speed: despite this large difference in flow-rate, the weight of the models printed in ASA is slightly higher than those in PLA but the resistance is certainly greater. The only thing to pay particular attention is the shrinkage of the ASA: you always need a wide brim, 0.01 mm from the model and glue on the plate to avoid warping. As for delamination resistance, we know that as the printing temperature increases (and therefore foaming), the adhesion between layers decreases. This can sometimes become a problem, because ASA itself does not have a great adhesion between layers: in my tests I exceeded the limit with the foaming to have a super light wing, but when I hand-launched the model the wing broke into two pieces, exactly in the center!
Hi there, great input for ASA aero, are you able to help me trouble shoot a problem i am having when printing with ASA Aero?? i am finding that the nozzle can pick up alot of blobs, generally from when the print head moves to different parts of the job, subsequently dragging into other layers and ruining the print
@@waihiwarrior2202 Hi, to avoid blobs you can try one (or all) of these settings in the slicer: 1. print in vase mode (if the model allows it) If you can't print in vase mode: 2. enable z-hop 3. enable the "avoid crossing walls" option 4. increase the retraction distance a bit 5. reduce the printing temperature a bit
Does it matter if you print with a smooth plate or a textured plate because otherwise ill have to buy a smooth plate or can you use an older smooth plate from an ender 3 pro and use it on the bambu lab p1s?
I have printed a few rockets and launched them I made a couple in PETG and one in PLA-CF then both worked great. the PLA-CF went higher because it was lighter, but both have held up great probably 20 launches each.
One usecase for foarmed plastic is thermal insulation. The k-value of material describes how much energy is transfered through a surface (in W/(m²·K)). Have you compared this between normal ASA and AeroASA?
Do you have an opinion on the structural rigidity of PLA aero during flight of an RC plane? Do you think it will hold up or does it have too much flex?
Been fighting ASA Aero for over a week now. Bought for RC plane but cannot get consistent results with any settings. Do you have a trouble shooting help?
I'm gonna leave a comment to encourage the rocket build!

Very interesting. Lack of a heated chamber might be affecting your layer adhesion, would be great to compare!

@@danielderks5772 you can use your favorite plate, there are no differnces

Aero filaments are so cool! Thanks for this vid. PLA Aero rocket please!
Since rockets tend to have burning, for best results I would think the ASA Aero would be best for rocket especially near the tail end.
ASA Aero rocket please, having issues with hot head clogging when using ASA Aero for rockets on my printer
Epselon make great 3d printer r/c model STL files. Worh testing with Aero Ada as people normally use lightweight pla

Oh yes a PLA Aero filament rocket!
PLA Aero Rocket please
Combo of asa and PLA aero. Nice videos

I always wanted to try pri ting rockets for me nieces and nephews. I haven't seen many videos for that.
Comment because ya need it
ASA Aero rocket or Rc plane would be cool
asa aero all day
Nice review.
I'd like to see u printing a rocket in aero PLA / ASA :)
Pla aero
Make it!
Rocket from pla, and from aero pla see if real world results live up to the hype.
Rocket Please
asa rocket
Asa aero
