The challenge with ASA and ABS re:warping is chamber temps, not so much bed temperature. Both shrink pretty significantly compared to PLA and if your chamber is too cool and/or your print is too big or has difficult geometry you're going to be in for a rough time.

I'm curious about ASA & PTU currently, and looking into best practices (began my printing journey in 2018 w/ a Mk1S & a Phrozen Mini duo) before jumping in, so this is helpful info, thank you (& OP, et al). 🤓
