ASA prints great but jams if left in printer

I have just tried ASA for the first time to print a new shroud and arm and it prints great.  However, I left the filament in the printer as I usually do and it jammed in the heat break (I didn't think it should be liquid there?).  I thought it was a 1 off so I took it apart, freed it up and did another print.  Same result, great print but if you leave the hot end to cool with the filament inside it jams in the heat break.  Any ideas...

RE: ASA prints great but jams if left in printer

Did you let the printer heat up long enough to unload the filament?  I have printed with ASA but never had that issue.   To keep my filament dry, I don't leave it on the printer most time.  My printer is also in an enclosure.  Maybe you may have to preheat before unloading the filament.
