What to do instead

  • Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but ASA needs at least 90°C for reliable adhesion.
  • Try a compatible filament for your Markforged FX10 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
  • If you need ASA specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 240°C+ nozzle.
