Thats interesting you havent had any problems with it being wet though. ASA must be a lot more sensitive to manufacturer, because I had four complete spools of Bambu that just wouldn’t do shit without drying, and I’m about 30/80 on spools of Overture ASA that need drying vs don’t.

I wonder what the various companies blend into their pla+. This stuff is from a company that’s since gone out of business, but it seems to shrug off UI, rain, and ice/snow. It wasn’t matter hackers, but they had a similar name from what I recall. USA made and cheap, but their QC wasn’t great.
As for ASA, I’ve only printed Polymaker. I buy the 3kg spools when they go on sale and it’s hard to beat 3kg for $70 or so. I am tempted to try another brand to see if it prints differently though.
