Is ASA much easier to print than people think ?

[Bikeracer2020]

For the last 2-3 years I've barely used anything else except ASA and it's basically my go to filament.
I do have an enclosed printer though and use an all metal hot end.
Personally I don't use the cooling fan at all, bed temp at 95, nozzle at 255 and max speed around 40mm sec.
It seems slower is better for ASA, but whatever works for you.
I preheat the bed for a good 15-20 minutes before printing and when the print is finished the printer door is never opened until everything has cooled down to ambient, being impatient to release the print can lead to warping issues I've found.
Prusa slicer works best for me, but each to his own

I did recently use a brand new roll of PLA i'd had for a while just to use it up and had more problems and failures than I like to think about.
