$10 / kg and they give a cardboard spool? 😂🤣
I actually buy filament without spools when I can even though refills aren't even always cheaper (talking to you Sunlu).
Also, this is ASA from one of the better filament brands. Care to show me any deals on ASA from Elegoo or better? Which ASA do you buy and at what price?
Imo this is on par with Polymaker quality-wise and they charge somewhere close to $30 per KG.
**Edit:** I don't know why I thought this was Sunlu; as noted in the title it's Elegoo. I must be tired

Great price for ASA. For those new to 3d printing, this requires higher temps, an enclosure, and a way to deal with fumes. PLA and PETG are both more beginner friendly options.
ASA is great for parts made for outdoors because of its weather and UV resistance. That's what it was designed for. There are better filaments for pretty much every other usage, though.

FYI, he does not have Elegoo on the linked video as one of the ten he tested.
