E-Sun ASA keeps failing

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing problems when printing the Bento Box V2.0. After about 2 to 5 mm of height, the walls start to come loose from the print bed.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Using 3DLAC as an adhesive
  • First layer at 250°C, subsequent layers at 240°C (also tested at 260°C)
  • Bed temperature at 100°C (also tested at 110°C)
  • Various print speeds
  • Heated the bed for 20–30 minutes before starting
  • Inside print temperature between 38°C and 52°C
  • Tried both Orca slicer and Creality slicer 6.2 with standard settings and some adjustments

Despite these efforts, the adhesion issues persist, and I also notice the corners are curling upwards.

Questions:

  • Is 3DLAC not suitable for ASA? Should I try a different adhesive?
  • Are there specific settings or techniques I should adjust to improve adhesion and prevent warping?
  • Could the temperature settings or print environment be contributing to this problem?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey Fifi! :wave:

Sometimes I have similar issues, but on my Creality Ender 3 v3 SE, and I use PLA and TPU. If you haven’t already try thouroughly cleaning the print plate. Here’s a potentially helpful link:

Hope this helps! :smiley:

With PLA and PETG I don’t have problems with the adhesion. I clean my print plate each time thouroughly, mostly with Isopropyl alcohol, now I know by your link that window cleaner also helps. I think I will not clean my print plate everytime with the alcohol but will use the window cleaner as basic cleaner. Thanks for helping solving the problem and adding the info page.
