Been using sunlu for about a year. Great brand, never any issues with product. Just got myself a deal with a sale that was running so stocked up for a few months
Bought 3 rolls of these filaments so far, works brilliantly on ender 3 neo. I printed these with 215C with 60C bed resulted in perfect large prints no warping, very little no to stringing and no nozzel blockage.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT, I love the easy of printing with PLA, but add the Sunlu PLA+ to this and you strength as well as ease of printing. Set up your 3D printer correctly and this Sunlu filament will not let you down.
I have tried several different pla brands and have had best results with SUNLU. Until recently, I used the white sunlu but have recently switched to black. For some reason, the results are better still with the black filament.
Have used various brands over the years but this has become my go to brand, have used a lot of rolls of it now and it continues to be reliable, the only thing to mention is that if you are using it for a big project then buy all the filament of the same colour you need at the same time, there is very little difference between batch numbers colour wise but if you have to get another roll at a later date the difference might just be enough to see.
Despite the name ‘coffee’, the image clearly shows orange . Depending on the device, the orange looks to me to be somewhere between the two in my photo. The reel came labelled ‘brown’ and is, indeed, brown. Nice enough to use but, sadly, very sadly and disappointingly, not orange
This pla+ is an absolute pleasure to print with.. great adhesion and nice smooth finish!! Definitely going to try the other colours.
Excellent packaging, consistent filament. Will remember brand and buy again.
This PLA+ is my first SUNLU filament, and initially I had all kinds of issues with it, and my main issue was layer adhession. Then I started to play with different flow rates and temperatures, but none was necessary as the main problem was that the filament was not dry enough and my printer needed some adjustments. After drying the filament for 10 hours with a proper filament dryer, using a relatively higher temperature (225-235 C), and then tuning and aligning my printer (X-Gantry was crocked, bed needed tramming and the Z-Offset was quite a bit off) the prints started to come off beatifully. I think this is a very nice alternative to my regular eSUN PLA+ filaments, albeit needing some drying.
This filament was wound nicely on the reel, no tangles to deal with and printed nicely.
Bed adhesion was easily achieved at 60 degrees and printing temp for me was 205.
Each hardware differs but this achieved the best results for me.
If you need a decent quality filament, try this trusted brand!
good value for money and my goto brand for pla now, particularly like there carbon pla
Rumour has it this stuff is what Bambu Labs use, having 2 Bambu X1C I’ve tested it alongside Bambus own it will run at the same Volumetric rate as Bambu so remember if your using this for the X1C or P1P and choose generic PLA either edit the flow in the filament settings to 20/21 or just use the Bambu basic profile and your prints will be faster. Great quality they fit fine in the Bambu AMS and simply put a very good PLA
Very easy to print. Nice and strong printed parts. By far the best and easiest to use filament I have.
As per a lot of other reviews, prints decently with a few setting tweaks.
Filament had excellent colour. Printed really well with no problems having been wrapped on the spool with no kinks. Highly recommend.
Prints quite well, only clogging I’ve had it when it’s been left sitting in the nozzle, but all filament does this. Routine cleaning with a needle solves this.
Running at 205c/60c (210c first layer) on a Ender-5 Pro (first gen). See pic of tamper I printed.
I use 3DLac spray adhesive and it holds quite well with no curling I could see.
Good layer adhesion, sticks to the bed well, looks good when finished
I used this for printing a friend a Cat Buddha it was so easy to use
So I ordered this to try it out. I have a Flashforge Adventurer 3 and I typically stick to their own brand of PLA, mostly because the built in spool holder only takes 500g spools and because I can be pretty sure their own filament will work well. Boy was I wrong.
Before this spool arrived I printed off a couple of Tush rollers to hold the spool externally because as me ruined above, these spools are too big for the Adventurer 3. The spool worked just fine on a pair of Tush rollers. No resistance all good.
I then ran a print using an old job stored on the printer. I have a little bunny rabbit print that I use as a benchmark, mostly because my youngest likes to get a new bunny rabbit when Daddy gets some new PLA but also because the model is tough enough to print that it challenges the printer but easy enough that I won’t get stuck in an infinite loop of troubleshooting that doesn’t matter because I never print anything that is insanely complicated or at the limits of 3D printing. I intentionally spend time making sure anything I print is oriented in a way that makes it easier or I modify it to make it less challenging.
Anyway, on to the PLA+…first print was perfect and I didn’t have to adjust anything. Print settings were 0.18mm layers, cooling off first layer, 60c bed (glass bed, I have the Pro model) and 220c nozzle. No raft. No brim.
I got a clean print, no stringing, perfect adhesion and no warping or layer issues. The final result was a sort of matte finish with a small amount of sheen.
I’ve printed with black PLA before and you typically get that shiny black drainpipe look but with this stuff, it’s quite tasteful. It’s not as flat as you’d expect though, definitely shiny but not overly shiny. Your prints won’t look cheap.
The stand out here though is the very low amount of stringing. It’s virtually none existent. There is a tiny bit of really fine stringing but it’s very easy to deal with after the print. Absolutely nowhere near the amount of stringing I usually see.
I think this brand might be my go to from now on. Good stuff.
In terms of toughness Vs standard PLA…my lad hasn’t snapped the ears off his bunny yet, which he usually manages within a few minutes. So I’m guessing this stuff is a lot tougher than Flashforge PLA.
I’ve since run off some other prints that I know to be quite weak with Flashforge PLA and so far they have proven to be a bit stiffer and less fragile. I’d place this stuff somewhere between standard PLA and ABS.
If you’re looking at this stuff and you’re like me and wondering if straying from your usual stuff is worth it, the answer is probably yes.
At this stage I don’t know how well the roll will keep, some other rolls from other brands have got brittle on me after a while, which is another reason I typically didn’t buy bigger spools.
1. You must do the necessary tests before use (like stringing). Because quality has recently turned into quantity.
2. Don’t trust the name of the company anymore, I guess that’s what another company is doing now. They changed the packaging, they took the easy way. And that means potential problems for us.
3. The dimension is actually good, but the reel winding is far from that shown in the photo. Maybe they don’t have any more or never a spool stacking system (cheaper production line) and for some of you this could be a problem. Especially in night prints. I strongly wouldn’t let that go for the night.
4. The company has probably changed the contractor and is doing it cheaper at the expense of quality – it happened to me that after heating up the filament my filament swelled under the chot-end. And that means changes in composition or problems with humidity or with additives in the plastic.
This is just my opinion after printing a few miles of filament. So stay alert.
I give one stars less for customer scam on the website.
Halfway through my 1st spool of Sunlu pla+ and I can say I’m impressed. Once I dialed in bed (50c) & print (200c) temp its been working great on my flsun Q5 delta. I found that on long prints if the bed was any hotter than 50c I had a little elephants foot happening. There recommended print temp is above 210c but i had issues in that range so I dropped it back. My temps are calibrated so im confident in my finding but your mileage may vary. Bed adhesion has been perfect, the only lift occurred when I hadn’t cleaned the bed with ipa first. Had a bit of stringing to begin but that was down to my retraction settings. It came well packaged & vacuum sealed with desiccant inside to prevent moisture ingress. Very happy with the product & I will be trying more from the range soon.
Overall not bad prints, but not great. Further tweaking may be necessary to tune out much further but I doubt I would see a radical improvement.
Ender 6 Setting:
Bed 70c (as advised on the box)
Nozzle 210c
Retraction 4mm with a speed of 50mm/s
Travel Speed 150mm/s
Adhesion is pretty good at 70c, prints pop off when the bed is cold.
