Chamber temperature for ASA high enough?
Hi,
I ordered a Prusa Core One L printer. I'm waiting for the delivery. But now I have my doubts because I want to do a lot of ASA printing.
ASA needs a high chamber temperature like 70 degrees. But the Core One L only gets to 60 degrees.
Furthermore I ordered the filter kit. I'm afraid this extra filter with fan will make the maximum chamber temperature lower then 60 degrees.
In that case I will regret my choice for the Prusa Core One L.
Does anybody has some experience with this? And if this is a problem for ASA, is there a solution or work around?

No panic.
We have a plain Core One, so likely with even less effective chamber heating, but what we have printed in ASA (Prusament black) so far has turned out pretty good.

I print ABS/ASA and it works, just need to close some holes to make it more air tight and you will be fine. I do not have the filtration, though.
See mu signature in Printables, Collections and there are some addons for the Core One L you may want to have.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Yes, closing hole. Example taping over gaps in the frame. I also throw a blanket on the top to keep heat in. I can get around 58° which is good enough for most ASA.

So when closing some holes it will be ok.
But this is a problem for a printer that includes the extra filter unit.
You need air to be able to enter the chamber because the filter unit will try to such air out the chamber.
So now I'm really concerned about this. A chamber temperature of 50-60 degrees using the filtration unit will then be difficult or impossible.

50C is good enough for ASA, PA or PC. I`ve printed quite big models in ASA with the chamber barely above 40C and no warping trouble. Whoever says that you "need" 70C is plain wrong. In fact, 70C is a sure recipe for shortening considerably the lifespan of consumer grade printers, not to speak of the safety risks involved when you print at this temperature, specially if you leave the printer unattended for many hours.
