I'm 3D Printing a set of Dash Panels with Gauges

Certainly but everything comes with a tradeoff, right? ASA is similar to ABS, which is already used extensively in cars, but ABS can withstand higher temps. The drawbacks of ABS are it's not UV stable (though most of my printing will be painted), and ABS is a pain to print in large pieces, as it warps very easily as it's printing. As the part starts to cool from the 240c degrees of extrusion temperature to the 100c of the heated bed it begins to shrink in reaction to the stretching it has undergone in extrusion. As it shrinks, the edges of the print begin to pull away from the bed, resulting in a bottom surface that is curved. I've had much better printing with ASA so the tradeoff is worth it. There are other more exotic materials such as Nylon, and variations that infuse carbon fiber, but there are huge drawbacks in terms of wear on the printer and it's just not worth it in the long term. I've been printing with ABS and ASA for over a year now, and have now all the tricks you have to do with these higher temp materials

Looking at buying a Tronxy X5SA.

It doesn't support ASA, but it does support ABS along with several other filaments. Curious if the lack of ASA material is going to be a problem. Any suggestions for material for test parts?

First project would be caliper adapter plates for Scat Pack calipers on disk brake spindles and they are all just flats plates of about 6"x3" with varying thickness, the thickest being 1/2" or possibly 3/4" to reduce the number of prints. Did a wood mockup of the plates but the paper template that I glued to the wood swelled due to the glue and put the holes off by a significant amount. So thinking of dropping the wood mockup idea and jumping into a 3D printer instead.

Ironically, I could order the plates from sendcutsend.com for like $50. So I could do 5 revisions that way before spending the money I would on the 3D printer, but there are certainly other things I would use the printer for as well.
