You're saying ABS is printing easier for you than ASA? That's interesting. From my limited understanding, ASA has the reputation of being easier to print.
What brands/blends? I've been printing basically only ASA and PETG for a little while now. Haven't tried ABS.
Yes in my experience, ABS is an easier print.
For ASA, I think maybe Sainsmart. They also do bad tpu, so maybe source was the problem.
How do you handle fumes with ASA? they are much worse than ABS, imo.
Huh, any particular ABS brand(s)? I am tempted to grab a roll. I've been running polymaker's ASA and other than warpage on big parts with my lower chamber temps (yay big printer with lots of enclosure surface area) it prints fairly well.
I run the filter inside an enclosed printer with an exhaust fan.
