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 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.

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.

(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.

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.

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)

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.
