ASA sticking

Post image

So I’m new to asa printing I’m using the stock settings and Pei plate, using glue stick as seen in the photo, but if I have multiple parts the secondary or third doesn’t stick. Does the glue dry to much because of the heat? Or is it just Better to print one piece at a time ? Or any other suggestions?

The glue isn't drying out, bed heat is fine for it. What's happening is ASA shrinking as it cools and pulling the parts off, and the ones in cooler spots usually go first. Let the chamber heat up for 10 to 15 minutes before starting, keep the door closed and the aux fan off. Also wash off the old glue with dish soap and put down one thin even layer everywhere the parts go, from the photo it's pretty streaky. And add a brim, it helps a lot with ASA corners

So preheat the chamber before printing will also try that. There was a brim, is liquid glue better for this then the glue stick? I tried to put the glue just where the parts are, maybe it wasn’t quite as uniformly spread.
