ASA printing help

Hey folks, i have an Anycubic kobra 2 max. this printer is not enclosed and the bead only heats to 90.c. i am guessing i have no chance to ever print ASA on this thing. (which sux as i have like 50+ rolls of the stuff)

is there any parameters i can change to get this to print? or is there any other material i can use that is UV resistant and can survive the UK weather?

this thing prints PLA ok.. not great but i put that down to my settings.

i usually pre-heat the bed to 90.c and leave the roll of ASA on it for about 15 mins to heat it up first.. mostly to remove moisture.

i really want to print car parts with this thing, hence why i needed a large printer.

i have had good results with PLA carbon fibre filament and car parts with it.

any recommendations would be great. i might have known that the most useful plastic to print with would be the most difficult to work with... sigh.

thanks, John
