Couldn’t get a replacement for my Bambu Labs filament as it was out of stock and wanted to start a print. Ordered this Green PLA+ try out and have not been disappointed. Worked well with the Bambu Basic PLA print profile. Very pleased with the purchase.
If you want a reliable PLA filament that delivers excellent print quality, Sunlu PLA+ is a top choice. It’s easy to print, with great bed adhesion and minimal stringing. The solid black color has a beautiful shiny finish, and the strong layer adhesion ensures a seamless print. No zits or blobs mar the surface. Overall, this is a very good filament that comes highly recommended for outstanding 3D printing results.
I have had issues with other brands, but this filament is great quality. I use this with my Ender 3 V2 and I would say it rivals even the Creality filament that came stock with the printer. Lovely finish, good adhesion, and not cheap or shiny looking like some of the other brands on Amazon. Highly recommend.
I have written other reviews for SUNLU printer filament, and I have always marked the very highly. This fibre continues to follow that high quality.
The filament never clogs or snags, it’s always wound onto the spool neatly, it adheres wonderfully to the Teflon/glass heated printer bed, it is never moisture contaminated, and it always gives me exceptional and crisp reliable 3D print quality.
I literally cannot think of a bad thing to say about it. It makes 3D printing remarkably pain-free!
Please excuse the dust in the photo. That is an early prototype that was in a draw. Not the best of photographs but one can see how crisp the print is.
Used on Bambu machines (A1/P1P) – This white is brighter than the eSun equivalent, and for what I use this has less stringing so I prefer it. I have taken a star off because I have to use adaptors with my equipment which can be frustrating, other than that, this is the go to filament for me.
Under the camera flash, the sheerness of the filament shows, however without a bright light on it, there’s virtually zero sheer as can be seen in the photos. The amazon listing of the gold filament led me to believe this would have a nice mirror/sheerness effect to it. That just wasn’t the case in my results.
The filament is otherwise as expected. Worked great. This is the first time I’ve ever 3D printed. Bought The Gold PLA Filament with relatively little research – right size/material/colour.
Box came a bit bashed-up with the vacuum seal broken, so was a touch concerned.
No need to be at all. Like all the Sunlu filament I’ve had it’s very good. Zero trouble with it & now the go-to reel for a ‘standard’ print.
210/60 Works best for me.
Bought both gold and silver coloured filaments. Very easy to work with… Prints very nicely. Adheres well and releases easily from my glass/corundum printer bed. My main issue with these are the colours; the “Gold” filament is straw coloured, and the “Silver” filament is light grey. There is no metallic effect, which was a little disappointing. I already use SunLu filaments (PLA+ and PETG) and would definitely buy this brand again…. just not for metallics!
This is a great orange PLA it prints incredibly strong in fact probably the strongest PLA I have ever printed. The colour is very vibrant and make great off set colour to something like black or grey.
I am designing a mechanical item that involves 3d-printed shafts subject to torque.
Unlike all other filaments that I have used, this is clearly much stronger than them and I get no parts failures due to torque.
I’ll be buying other colours of the same stuff, so I am hoping that colour makes no difference to quality.
Wasn’t sure with it being quite cheap and not using the brand before, but found it great. Prints very well with good bed adhesion. Not as shiny as it looks in the product photos but overall very happy with it. Seems a good bit stronger too than the normal PLA I normally use.
Not had a failed print with this yet. I heat it up slightly hotter than recommended on my Anycubic Kobra Max and it gives a very nice result without any stringing.
I have been printing with PLA for more than two years and have always bought Sunlu filament. It is cost effective and reliable, I’ve never had any problems with the material and would recommend it to any new or veteran hobbyist!
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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.
