ASA is ABS but a little easier. PC is my favorite for structural parts. You can get away with small stuff in PC without an enclosure. It is ideal for print fan shrouds too as it has the highest temp tolerance of any hobby grade filament.
They make PC filament? TIL. Seems like it would be really difficult to print with.
Prusament PC Blend is really nice to work with on their machines. It prints at 290C with a bed temp of 110C and is best to print with their glue stick, (although any gluestick will work, theirs just cleans off easier than some others). These temperature ranges are beyond the capabilities of many cheap printer project type machines and definitely outside of the hotend temperature range you should print at if you have PTFE tubing passing through the heatbreak and in contact with the butt of the nozzle.
How are the voc's? I just upgraded to a p1p and I've just finishing building out an enclosure for it. Not actually sure what the extruder on this is rated for but I'm upgrading the hotend to hardened steel next so I can print a bento box in asa.
Might give PC a look if it's something I think this printer can handle.
