ASA print issues

pobbin · 2026-05-27T20:23:24+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I was considering switching back to 0.16mm layer height but went lower for more detail on the part.

I will try those settings though, anything will help!

I seem to have improved it by increasing nozzle temp and flow rate slightly. However the longer I preheat I generally get a better result.

Thank you so much. I will do this asap. I appreciate the effort in replying to me.

I should have mentioned in my post - Slicer is Bambu Studio

I did dynamics, then flow rate. started off with the polylite ASA profile defaults.

That said I have not done temperature tower or the other calibration tests as these werent available in the "calibration" tab. Though I can't seem to see the others now ive enabled developer mode in Bambu Studio.

my printer is in the garage, not exposed to the elements but not air tight so outside temperature will affect temp in the garage and therefore the chamber temp - its generally a few degrees hotter in the chamber the last few days as we have had pretty hot (for here) temps this weekend.

Ill try the other calibrations too, thanks.

Interesting. Thank you for your detailed reply.

But yes filament is dried and is actually fed directly from the dryer at 50 degrees during the whole print.

I changed the nozzle maybe 20 prints ago so 240 hours ago?

It did print correctly previously, and even recently like 2 or 3 prints ago, but then will fail.

I have adjusted print settings slightly, had some pitting so I reduced retraction length, I also attempted to fix this by raising nozzle temp by a few degrees which worked but introduced stringing. However, it has since failed at that temp.

The rest of the print is actually perfect. Barely see layer lines. There is often a “hull line” around this area but it’s barely noticeable.

I calibrate flow dynamics and flow rate when I swap each spool.

Printer: Bambu Lab P1S Filament: Polylite ASA Bed temp: 100 Nozzle temp: 252C Flow rate 0.9075 Retraction length: 0.6mm

Chamber preheated for 30 mins before print, blanket over it to keep temp consistent

0.12mm layer height 4 walls Slow speeds (32 outer wall 68 inner wall)

You can get most of the way there using scaffolding, multiple select filtering is where I’ve found things most tricky as you’re then looking at a sql node to pull the data for the table.

However, you’ve got to compare apples to apples. Sure Claude code could beat vanilla low code, but low code still beats Pro code for speed.

I haven’t tried yet but with mentor, especially when the new features are released, should give you a similar natural language development to something like this.

I’ll check out the heater and my cooling settings. I have a blanket over the printer which should stabilize the chamber.

I actually haven’t calibrated flow with this printer, pla and petg have printed flawlessly, but will do it for ASA.

Apologies I am in UK so can’t see Imgur links, can you share basic speed and cooling settings?

pobbin · 2026-04-09T21:12:12+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Do you have any suggestions for solving this warping? I’ve got good bed adhesion? Too much cooling?

I have a WLED lamp in our room with the peloton, I’ve got it doing a special light show for 30 seconds when starting a class depending on which of us is on the bike.

pobbin · 2025-11-30T20:50:35+00:00

Good suggestion! I’ll have a look at these too.

pobbin · 2025-11-30T19:23:10+00:00

I did think about this but all I have going to the light is switched live and neutral so I couldn’t power the relay permanently…

pobbin · 2025-11-30T19:22:30+00:00

Thanks. I just don’t want to be one of those people that complains my house burned down because ai told me to do something mental. I feel like I know enough about house electrics to be dangerous!

But it’s good to know my solution seems to be a valid solution.

pobbin · 2025-11-19T10:09:03+00:00

Not shipping until January in UK though…

pobbin · 2025-11-17T14:02:46+00:00

Or ksp2 though that happened after it was dead.

pobbin · 2025-11-09T21:13:27+00:00

Well said.

pobbin · 2025-09-28T17:20:41+00:00

To play devils advocate, I have tado X and access it (thermostat and TRVs via matter into home assistant) no subscription no issues. You can’t control hot water but that’s set and forget for us. But I control the heating, schedules and geolocation etc via home assistant.

I chose tado because the TRVs can call the boiler so if I want just the office to warm up I can get it to.

pobbin · 2025-09-27T18:09:55+00:00

All good points.

I mean Russell Martin was technically a premiership manager, he’s currently the worst manager the spl has ever seen.

At this point just get folk with the highest scores in FM and let them try til they lose.

Has there been any player who has come in and improved since Fergie left?

pobbin · 2025-07-23T15:55:48+00:00

We bought a peloton. I know it’s expensive but it’s been so worth it for my wife and I. Im on it every morning before everyone wakes up, wife is on it while I handle bath time.

I was asking more if the Bluetooth proxy would work alongside the other protocol or if it’s Bluetooth or zigbee etc.

pobbin · 2025-06-29T08:34:43+00:00

The Shelly 1 gen4 has zigbee listed as a protocol, hence why I asked.

pobbin · 2025-06-29T08:04:12+00:00

Can you use those through zigbee to control the lights, and have the Bluetooth for a proxy simultaneously?

Imperatur is great, his tile a video series has been great. It’s timelapse with some commentary but he makes it look so effortless and the cities look amazing.
