ASA Settings

I had good expereicen with Polymaker ASA. A slight less good with 3DJakes own ASA material. But, after drying and adapting my settings, both materials are now easy to print for me. This is what I learned.

ASA from 3D Jake

It needed some additional drying after I purchased it. And I had some trouble printing it, as I was using the wrong settings. Problems with overhangs, bed adhesion and so on. Nothing would work. But after a while and some frustration, I got it right.

ASA from Polymaker

This was easy from the beginning. Following the official temperatures and such, it was super easy to print. Don't know why I was having such a problem with the ASA from 3DJake but Polymers ASA black was a breeze.

They both smell a lot. So...

Requirements

- Enclosed printer with a filter is more or less mandatory. ASA smells really plastic'ish and just from smelling a little bit after opening the print door, caused some headaches. So handle it with care.
