Based off that mesh I tightened to screws to adjust and redid the mesh and then adjusted again <- did this about 12x until it was at the .09 number stated above

Printing with ASA on V-Minion

I completely forgot to mention I had no luck with it until I realized the extruder was slipping on the filament and not extruding the right amount despite tuning the e-steps. Everything started to work a lot better once I popped it on to 2 clicks (the flexables setting on the lgx lite).

Printing with ASA on V-Minion

I’m using the same filament as you and it’s printing great in my vminion. So what I did to tune was initially use the superslicer calibration list to get it right. Make sure to start with the bed level print if you’re coming from another filament like PLA as you might need a slight adjust in z offset for a good first layer (I did). I’ve found the Polymaker Polylite ASA seems to like the upper end of its temp ranges for everything, sometimes a little above them. Also run the bed closer to the 90 degree mark for good adhesion. I’ve also been treating the bed with “visionminer nano polymer adhesive” (if you let the part cool completely on the bed sometimes it sticks too well). My SS temps are 260 for first layer and 255 after that with bed temp of 90 for first layer and 87 after that. I’ve also set max speed to the top end listed on the spool. EDIT: wanted to add this- I’m also using a passive enclosure and my workflow is to heat everything up and let it sit for 10-15 min to get the enclosure warm (28ish C) then start the print. Hope this helps.
