PC Blend or ASA for outdoor high temp & UV?
I see lots of discussion from a few years ago before PC Blend was available. Would you recommend PC Blend or ASA for outdoor prints in the extreme heat and sun?
TIA!

ASA -it meets most requirements for outdoor use, is cheaper than PC Blend, and can be printed with almost any printer. PC Blend is an overkill (read: waste of money), if there's only normal outdoor use in mind.

PC will not survive UV light. It gets brittle very fast. Not sure if the "blend" does compensate for that. But PC isn't the right choice for outdoor or long-lasting prints.

Thank-you very much, that's what I expected. PC Blend is an amazing material, but like you say, overkill for most applications.
