ASA settings for the Voron 2.4
Great match
These are tuned starting settings for printing ASA on the Voron 2.4. The Voron 2.4 has a direct-drive extruder and an all-metal hotend in an enclosed chamber, so we set the hotend to 250°C and the bed to 100°C. ASA is the UV-stable cousin of ABS and the better choice for parts left in the sun.

💡 Best uses for ASA: outdoor parts, UV-resistant parts.
FAQ
- What temperature should I print ASA on the Voron 2.4?
- Start at 250°C for the hotend and 100°C for the bed, then run a temperature tower across 240–260°C to dial in your exact filament brand.
- What print speed works for ASA on this printer?
- Around 63 mm/s is a safe starting point on the Voron 2.4. This printer can go faster once the profile is tuned, but start conservative for clean walls.
- What retraction should I use?
- Use about 1 mm of retraction (direct drive needs very little). If you see stringing with ASA, raise retraction speed before distance and dry the filament.
- Do I need an enclosure for ASA on the Voron 2.4?
- The Voron 2.4 is enclosed, which is exactly what ASA needs for warp-free prints.
