  If you want to print in ASA, you’re going to want an enclosed model. I recently bought a Qidi Q2 after going through the same frustration with my old Ender 3. My main selling points on it were that it was capable of handling stuff like ABS and ASA, and most importantly, gave me full control of the device. Unlike Bambu, I have the root password to the controller board (which runs Klipper), and the (admittedly mediocre) AI spaghetti detection runs fully locally. It also has a carbon filter built in, which is a must if you intend to put the printer anywhere indoors and print in something other than PLA or PETG.

  They also work great for getting PETG prints to release from PEI build plates. Flip the can upside down, spray at the back of the sheet where the print is until it forms a thin layer of frost. Wait until the frost disappears (really you’re waiting for the metal to contract, but you won’t see that), bend the plate, and the part should pop right off.

  …then flee to somewhere better ventilated to escape the cloud of bitterant before you vomit.

  You shouldn’t wear Depends in the shower. They’re for getting back to that squishy feeling after the shower.
