I dusted off a sealed roll of polymaker natural ASA for my CR10 V2 pro, trying to print parts for my motorcycle and cars that were previously printed in PLA+. So far a few large parts have warped about 2/3rds of the way through. I purchased a PEI magnetic bed and am now using an enclosure. The benchy i printed looks perfect tho. If i can get it dialed in, i think it will be my favorite.
I love ASA for exterior fixes around the house. Durable, stable, but - as you've found - a bit finnicky about warping.
If you still have trouble with ASA, get a large trash bag and place everything inside it upside down. The bag will definitely seal everything inside.
Now that's a fantastic budget idea, thank you. I may try exactly that on my smaller printer. I have my CR10 in a comgrow enclosure now and it's currently 7.5hrs into a 12hr print and it seems to be adhering better to the new PEI bed. Fingers crossed.
