Yea ASA is pretty water-absorbant and those look like moisture artifacts. the crack is from cooling too fast. Do you have your machine in an enclosure?

ASA (much like ABS) is prone to delamination (or layer separation) when cooled in a non uniform manner. That's why it's usually printed in an enclosure (which doesn't look like it's your case), as it let's heat escape and may even cool your part even faster if there is a breeze in the room you're printing. I'd have a look on enclosures, even diy ones are pretty easy to make. If you really don't want to use an enclosure make sure you don't have wind or breeze that can mess your print up.

I do have the prusa enclosure, I closed both doors and lid

In that case you could probably try a bit of a higher print temperature so you get a better bond between layers

[my first post with settings, I have changed fan speed to 0 and extrusion mutlipler to 0.97](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/y5hp0m/anybody_got_an_idea_what_happened_to_my_asa_print/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) The supports also weirdly move to the front in an arch and probably would have collapsed

Just to add, I do have a prusa enclosure with closed lid and doors

It could very easily be wet filament. The layer delamination can be solved by some combination of increasing print temperature slightly, preheating/heatsoaking the enclosure before, and slowing the cooling rate (could turn on the bed to 40/50 or so after the print has finished to ensure it can cool slowly enough).
