Interesting that the extra 10° makes such a difference for ASA and ABS.
I recently started printing with ASA in my enclosed MK4. I might have to try this.
It makes all the difference, especially on asa. They're so sensitive to chamber temp and accidental fan use it's actually kinda nuts. I'm really happy with the part's physical strength and behavior of course but it's a very different beast compared to PLA, which will basically still make a successful print even if half of the model isn't even touching the bed lol.
If you can get the chamber to 50-60C it's ideal for those. 40 you can often get away with but on larger parts it is marginal at best.
And temp stability too which is just as important.
The slightest draft of cold air and my ABS prints go bad fast
I was successful with ASA using my MK3 inside the IKEA LACK enclosure. Although those were small parts, not subject to much wrapping.
