I’m a total noob when it comes to 3D printing and am frankly bewildered by all the options for machines. I don’t want to buy a printer and find out it won’t smoothly handle ASA. In fact my first print will almost certainly be a custom mount so that I can put my Tempest PWS on a 5"x5" vinyl fence post.
I’d like to keep it under $800 but if I will spend more to get a better machine and a better experience if I need to.
My Creality K1 does a decent job with ASA. You will either need to vent it outside or put some carbon filters in it to deal with the ASA fumes though.
See this is one of the things that confuses me. ASA supposedly requires a bed temperature of 120 but the K1 supposedly only goes to 100. Did you modify yours to get hotter or did it just work?
Thanks for the warning about the fumes. This machine will go out in the garage and be externally vented.
I use 100°C for ASA. The recommended bed temperature for the Sunlu filament I have is 90-110°C.
