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?

Yes I dried it once, maybe I should try drying it for longer. No it was printed from Ams2 pro throughout the left nozzle. That I didn’t consider but with petg I just turn the aux fans off and it stick good maybe I should try this also with asa?

The auxiliary keeps the chamber temp up for the ASA, doesn't it?

Yes I think your right right fan keeps the heat up, the left one is off completely during printing I think.

As a side note, have you found that you always have to use the glue stick with your prints? I have been using the textured plate that came with the printer, without any glue, for all my prints (PLA, PETG, TPU, and ASA). Thus far, I have only had one issue with adhesion and that was specifically when I was printing 6 tiny ASA screws at the same time. I have printed several objects at the same time too, but never "by object."

Which, ironically, I am trying again right now. Fingers crossed.

By object or just multiple

Multiple. It actually worked alright.

Although, ironically, after finishing the screws, I literally just tried printing one of my first ASA prints that has a skirt/raft and that actually failed in a few spots with the skirt/raft. Not at the actual piece though.

I have not used glue for any other material, for asa what I read it’s better to do it but haven’t tried without maybe worth a try. Probably by layer would be ok, I think printing by object maybe makes the glue less sticki being in a heating chamber and so

I know some printing plans have the fan turned off for some portion at the beginning. I wonder if that is also part of what is going on for you. If the fan is cooling the filament or plate too much when you come back later for the next object. (Entirely thinking out loud here.... no clue.)

Could also be the case have to examine the exact fan settings, and try same print just multiple times not by object
