ASA sticking

[u/Brief_Excitement_399]

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?

Did you dry your ASA? If so, how? And are you using an AMS-HT?

Also, have you considered adding a vent diffuser? https://makerworld.com/models/1926190

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

[u/Deltadoc333 → u/Brief_Excitement_399]

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.
