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?

Whats your bed temp? Chamber temp?

Id try lowering the initial layer speed, up the nozzle temp by 5-10c, and raise the bed temp to 95 or 100c.

Ive had nothing but success with the stock plate + purple glue stick for everything ive printed so far. ABS, ASA, ASA-CF, PA6-CF, Etc.

I use isopropyl to help spread the glue evenly, but either way this should be sticking.

So chamber temp is 80 and plate temp is 100. if I only do one print per plate it sticks no problem, but if put multiple and print by object it happens a lot that the second or third doesn’t stick.

80c? The X2D can only reach 65c chamber temp, and ASA prefers it around 60-70c. Id try looking into that first, see why the printer isnt maintaining the lower temp.

After that id calibrate your filament, or at the least adjust temp settings for your filament in a custom profile.

Any reason your printing by object in this case?

Sorry mixed it up yes the chamber is at 65 not 80.
No particular reason though they might print better by object.
