First attempt with ASA, not great benchy
I got some filamentum ASA to try out, I have an enclosure and set prusaslicer to print the draft shield and use the filamentum ASA profile and this was the result.
Any ideas on what setting to change to improve the results?

No pictures came through. It looks like they are from google drive and others don't have permissions. The forum allows photo uploads.
I can say that ASA absolutely has to be dried, and should be printed in an enclosure. A brim is only necessary sometimes. It also does not like overhangs or bridges. The underside of objects are not good. I often split objects in two and flip one over so they have flat bottoms on the bed. It's easy to glue them together later with acetone.

Sorry about the photos, I've posted them here through the gallery.
I put the filament through the dehydrator like I do with all new filament and heard no popping or anything like that during the benchy test so I'm satisfied it's not the spools fault, looking at these images again I think maybe I'm a little cold on the hotend temps?

For the bridges and overhangs, I get only a little better. The tops of objects are virtually perfect though. Objects like this that always are smaller at the top than at the bottom are virtually perfect:
