Not Compatible
The max bed temperature of 0°C is below the recommended 90°C for ASA. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 240-260°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 300°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 90-110°C |
| Printer Max Bed | N/A |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but ASA needs at least 90°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged X7 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need ASA specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 240°C+ nozzle.
