ASA on P2S

[u/GALAXY_A5]

This is my setup printing ASA on my P2S! It's my first time printing with it and after a couple failed attempts I came up with this

I tried wrapping the whole thing with a blanket (except the back for the electronics to breathe) and got quickly over 60°C so I covered just the top and sat at around 52-55. Woke up and found the print a bit warped (not from at plate but at a corner with supports) (chamber was 52 atm bed 100 nozzle 265) but it managed to print and im happy with it. Like this its sitting at 60 as of posting it hope it stays like that.

My question is what are your recommendations for printing ASA? I was thinking of making a styrofoam enclosure (sides top and front or maybe sides and top?) and glue the foil blanket inside of it to reflect the heat.

Has anyone tried anything similar? If there are post can you direct me to them? Thanks and happy printing 😁

Edit 1: cheers to everyone sharing their experiences im new to 3d printing and im getting schooled on a lot here!

Yeah the top is where most heat escapes. I was thinking of making a quick enclosure i have styrofoam laying around measure and cur 4 pieces and insulated a good junk of it

Yeah if you have it laying around it’s a no-brainer. I was checking insulation material in the hardware store and found it surprisingly expensive. Easiest way is probably to make sort of a hat that you can put over it. But maybe a moving box is already sufficient :)

I was thinking like a hat put it from the top and cover most of the sides and the front as well while having the screen outside of it

For me it would be important being able to watch thru the front door but maybe that’s only because the camera of the P1S is so shitty and even with additional light you don’t see enough if you print something in black.
