This has given me 0 issue. There is not any stringing the material feels stronger than others. I am using this for everything structural like hooks and scooter parts shelving brackets , but can easily be used on detailed intricate prints too, I could tell it was good stuff from the very first extrusion purge line.
eSun has always been my go to brand, I have tried a few other when I have not been able to get eSun, but I feel the do not match up to my experiences with this brand. i have also used some of the other colours, but prefer the cold white as a base colour for painting over.
I started using this for my skull based Etsy shop, and it’s probably the best and most accurate looking bone coloured filament I’ve tried. Prints cleanly and rarely caused me any issues. Sometimes the winding on the drum isn’t the best but I haven’t had any tangling problems yet (4 bought so far).
I would definitely recommend this stuff for anyone printing skulls or bones, it really looks the part.
I have been using Esun PLA + for over 2years now. I really cannot fault it. It’s consistent on any machine and any colour. It just works and the quality is superb
I’m really happy with this filament, I’ve made a phone mount. I often go green laning, the mount is still going strong despite having the phone bouncing on it constantly. Impressive strength on the filament’s part. I know it wasn’t extraordinary design as it was my own. On top of its strength i’ve made some fantastic quality prints with it. The white especially I can hardly see the layer lines and it’s silky smooth to the touch.
I am using an Ender 3.
Side note, I would dry the filament when you get it. Not just this filament but ALL filaments as a general rule. I just stick it on my heated bed with a box over it for a couple of hours. Plenty of videos online showing this if you’re curious. Then store in an airtight box with silica gel on the bottom. I imagine some of the more negative reviews haven’t done this.
I’ve been using this brand in the past with good results. However the last batch of pla + I purchased has been snapping while leaving the reel. Not sure why this is, as it only happens when the printer is left unused for a week or so. The filament becomes brittle and gets stuck in the feed mechanism and sensors causing a lot of grief.
Seems to work well to dry fillament. The interface is very basic though, 3 temp settings for different fillament types and then just a timer starting at 24 and counting in 1/2 hour increments. The included nozzle and ptfe tube is fairly useless, Its too big to fit the standard tubes used by many 3d printers and it just sits in the holder with no pressure holding it.
If you just use it as a dryer its fine, it isnt so good if you want to use it as a drybox feeding the printer.
Beautiful black filament, needed it for a job. Hard to see when printing as it’s soo dark but it leaves a nice shine, very smooth prints, also works great with super glue.
My only issue is that it’s not as strong as other filament but not by much
I used eSun for years, no issues at all. Then started getting damp rolls that needed drying for 2 days before they would print without clogs. Grey was the worst offender. I now only buy eSun for particular colours I can’t get in the brand I switched to. It’s a good brand of pla+ when it’s not damp.
bad filament – powdery nature causes you to have to use more glue to stick this to the printing bed. Also the way it absorbs light means that occluded sections appear even darker. in other words, the lines in the completed model are more more visible and leave your prints looking much worse than they actually are. I did the same prints with a different type (including their glossy white) and looked perfect!
I don’t know if this filament is better than others. or whether it is just suited to my printers. However, it is the only filament that I can use roll after roll, without encountering any problems. I use it in my Ender 3 and Ender 5, as well as my Bamboo Labs printer. I have only ever used the black without any problems at all. If I try their other colours, then I do encounter some problems, such as bed adhesion or rougher surfaces, but I put that down to the settings on my machine. As soon as I go back to the black, prints return to practically perfect.
Very good filament out of the 50 I have bought only had one bad batch (moisture in the filament) which I returned and had the credited back on my account with in 4 hours which is good so reordered, fingers crossed
Since first starting 3D Printing some years ago, someone said “use eSun PLA+”.. So i did. It works. I’ve never used anything other than this (and any freebies that came with 3d Printers). It’s worked perfectly in my ender and bambulab printers.
I have had a few moisture problems, however I don’t dry my filament, and I keep spools of it hanging around for years. Normally just cut the gear word section off and carry on.
Amazoin being able to deliver next day is perfect, and I expect their stock is turnbing over quickly, so always had ‘fresh’ filament.
This is the first brand i have tried PLA+. I am very impressed with it. The print quality is great, i do however get very fine whispers of filament when the print head moves across the print, These are however easily removed.
I will continue to this brand as i am very happy with the results.
(Update)
eSUN reached out to me about my review and the problems i had with the pure white filament. They sent me a replacement spool. So i have updated my review. It was great for them to be so proactive.
Original
I have used gone thought 3 rolls of this without issue, but the Pure white is Garbage. It keeps getting stuck on the spool. I have never had an issue with Filament, this one just will not let me complete a print with it getting hung up on the spool.
All the other filaments are great.
Really liking this bone colour pla.
Pla is accurate as described 1.75. Found it optimal to print at 220c with speed of 120ms, prints perfect at these settings
Filament packaging was okay just could of been a bit better because vacuum bag was a bit lose with some air left inside so i made sure i dried this pla for 24h at 50c before printing and 1st print came out perfect without any blobs or any other artifacts from wet filament
Great value for this great quality pla+
Test model printed on ender 5s1
Yep this works fine. Would have been 5 stars but the vacuum pump is quite a slow way to get air out of the bag. I ended up leaving a small section of the ziplok open and sucking the air out with my mouth which only takes a few seconds, and then zip up and finish off with the pump, job done. Complete with some sachets of silica gel, the kit contains everything you’ll need to keep up to 10 reels of filament nice and dry for a long time, they even include extra vacuum seals and of course you can buy dessicant anywhere if you’re worried that its effectiveness might be fading with time (or dry it out in the oven to regenerate it)
Update:
Well, life pulls a bit of a prank on me yet again.
As I praised this filament to high heaven, I just ran in to a problem with my recent purchase.
The spool in question is quite bad in terms of how it was spooled on the drum and that it is quite damp.
Constant tiny pockets on the print sides. I dried it relentlessly, but it still keeps happening.
I guess the moral of the story is, that there is always a bad batch and nothing human produced can be 100% consistent in quality.
So just make sure you keep an eye out for bad spools and damp filament and perhaps just send it back if this happens. Or use it for test prints where quality is not a concern.
Old:
Granted, I haven’t tried too many filaments yet, but when I bought different brands (two times), they were nothing but disappointment.
As for this? This was always perfect!
Pros:
– Consistent quality (never experienced any changes in it)
– Good selection of colors
– No tangling
– No drying required (or at least I never saw any difference in print quality even after a spool was sitting out in the open for weeks, in a kitchen, in an apartment with average humidity of 65-75%).
– Can be printed very nice even with low temperatures as 190-195
Cons:
– lighter colors seem to be more brittle. If you leave it in a position where the filament is under some bending stress, it can snap at that point after a while. This can be the case with bowden tube printers.
Yes, there are cheaper alternatives, but this filament has never let me down. And why change the tried and true?
I cannot recommend this enough.
I’ve been using eSun PLA+ since I began 3D printing in May. I went through 9 x 1kg spools (1 silver, 2 purple, 1 cold white, 4 black and 1 grey) without any problems. The next spool (grey) was stringing like mad, no matter what temperature and retraction settings I used. I switched to a spool of purple and had no issues, so it wasn’t something wrong with my printer.
So, after chatting online with some more experienced printers, I bought a filament dryer. I weighed what was left of the grey spool (approx 900g including the spool) before putting it in – after 4 hours I took it out and weighed it again – it was 4 g lighter. That told me that the stringing problems I’d been having were down to excessive moisture in the filament.
Once the purple roll was finished I put the now dried grey roll back on and it printed fine until near the end (probably about 150-200g of filament remaining) where I found it was a bit tangled – actually, I realised what was happening because it almost jerked the spool and roller off the shelf above the printer. Luckily I caught it before it wrecked a print, not to mention the printer. I shifted the spool onto the normal frame-mounted spool holder.
At that point I went to put the next roll of grey into the filament dryer and saw that it was really badly wound. I spent several hours winding it onto an empty spool, then back onto the original spool. It was quite clear to me that it had been very badly rewound onto the spool it had come on – the filament was twisted and in many points looked to be stressed. I then dried it for 4 hours, leaving it in the drier until the roll on the printer finished. It started printing OK, but then there was some stringing again – I think it probably needed more than 4 hours in the drier. Yesterday I switched over to a roll of purple. It looked to be much better wound…right up until it got about 3 layers down where the filament started to get stuck under what should have been lower layers.
Interestingly, all three spools I’ve had problems with were ordered during September. I suspect that there must have been a major issue at their plant a few months ago for their quality control to have slipped so badly.
I’m reluctant to change brands as up until these three spools I’ve had a great experience with the eSun PLA+ – zero clogs, great print quality, good layer adhesion. However, I do have some Sunlu PLA+ to try.
