eally nice filament like most from sunlu. once iv done the much needed tests eg temperate and flow test the rest of the roll was perfect for me nicely rolled no kinks in it for me and overall printed out awesome
Previously we’d been using Flashforge’s own PLA filament with our Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro and it was definitely satisfactory, but due to costs involved, I decided to try a different brand that had been recommended by several other 3d printer users. I’ve so far only tried this SUNLU brand PLA+ filament but for the cost, the quality is absolutely outstanding. The pigment is beautifully opaque, as opposed to the other filament we were using which was somewhat translucent, and the edges come out incredibly crisp and detailed. We’ve had barely any issues with the filament clogging the nozzle either, and because it comes in bigger spools, it’s far more value for money!
Can’t recommend this enough, absolutely spectacular filament, looking forward to trying others in their range!
Every print has come out beautifully, no clogs, not humid, perfect first layers and layer lines blend into almost nothing, for a low maintenance, smooth print. Solid too and not brittle. No stringing either. Very very pleased. Will order again!
This filament was used on my X1 Carbon. It’s a wonderful filament, however, I notice it struggles with printing the first layer most of the time, even when the glue is used on the print plate. If you can manage to get it to print the first layer, it works perfectly fine and is pretty strong. I use it now for any prints that require snap-together assembly.
Clearly the low rating reviewers don’t know what they are doing and think its the filament, its not.
Works great and on 1mm fine you barely see the layer lines, take it nice and slow, 160/25mm works great.
Not my usual filament but my seller was out of stock.
Good layer adhesion with no shrinkage. Good solid colour throughout. Nice clean finish.
Price seems to have gone up from 15.19 to 16.14 overnight though so watch out for price creep.
Happy to switch to this from the ICE PLA I was using.
This is amazing filiment, I have used it with my creality K1 and my other machines and it works perfectly. Great alternative to the official filiment that costs nearly twice as much. I will always but this now instead. The print quality is perfect, no clogging or stringing and has a great finish to it.
However I have one issue and that is the size of the spool hole. For year now there has been a standard spool centre hole and this is how I support it for printing. For some reason this has been changed and is now much larger that before. This has resulted in the spool not hanging correctly.
Review is based on video attached.
Note: The black and white filament are different brands. (White is ESUN AB white and also give really nice prints)
Printer: FLSUN SR, Temp: 220 deg, Speed: 150mm/s (Slowed to 90% for first layers, increased to approx 120% for some prints with no issues)
Gold Pla+ : (15) My favourite, beautiful matte gold colour, details are great despite printing at high speeds as shown in the video. I’ve printed the boxes and left the printer alone, had no filament nots or clogs.
Red,blue,green PlA+ : (35) These come exactly as expected and also print well. The green is very green almost neon. Red and Blue as as expected.
Purple, Fuchsia, Coffee PLA+: (35)
Purple and Fuchsia are as exactly like the image. However the “Coffee” is a a light brown and is listed as brown on the packaging. I was thinking of buying brown anyways so I’ll take it considering the price.
Grass green, Grey Blue, Silver PLA+ : 35
The silver is the only colour that looks like the image or is as expected.
The other two are much darker than the image. However they are still nice looking colours and I’m not in need of very specific colours just looking to extend the variety of filament colours.
Overall, I’m pleased with sunlu, however I’d much rather the images were exact of colour. I guess you get what you pay for. Adding more bundles with varying colours would be great!
The print quality is very good, adhesion is great and no warping although I use Bed Weld to ensure no issues.
I print at a high temperature due to printing high speeds (sometimes reaching 200/300 mm/s) and the filament handles it well. As long as first layers are printed somewhat slow.
Esun is a good brand but purely due to the competitive pricing I stick to Sunlu.
Also if your curious the boxes I’m printing are: Twist Lock Boxes from 3D printing (you can find on Thingyverse)
The product is “Tough PLA” with I had not used before – It requires considerably more heat than “normal” PLA. I had several nozzle and bowden jams until I increased the nozzle temperature to 255 degrees. Seemed excessive but filament performed very well and no more problems.
At first, I had a lot of trouble with adhesion with the Sunlu Filaments on my Ender 3 with the glass bed, and also in a Flashforge with the PEI bed, but they’s print just fine on the blue surface in the Flashforge.
A bit of research revealed that the coating on the glass bed, and the PEI need to be toasty hot to activate the stickiness, and they loosen when they cool. Also, I was using the included Flashforge calibration card. I remembered seeing something about using A4 paper to do this, so I grabbed the nearest piece of A4 and set up the Z axis with that. It happened to be one of those extra thin sheets the NHS send their doctors letters out on.
Instant result. the build plate adhesion issue was solved and nothing even tries to curl at the edges now. I print on the glass bed at 75 degrees for the first layer and let it cool to 60 after that. this results in excellent adhesion and the cooler bed prevents upper layers from pulling the print up, while the initial temperature ensures the first layer has enough time to adhere before it cools. Also, be patient with thin flat prints, let the bed cool down completely with the print held in place before you loosen it, this will prevent warping. It’s the same story with a PEI bed. At first I took the PEI bed out of the printer when down and set it aside to cool quickly. I actually heard the print crack and warp as it cooled too fast!
So far, I’ve used 15 Different SUNLU filaments, Silk, PLA+ and PLA, all have been great and printed perfectly when using the recommended settings (and a nice tight Z clearance) strength is great on all, and no issues with bridging. The only jams I’ve experienced were on the horrible quality Flashforge, which got sent back, no issues yet with the Creality.
PLA+ needs the extra temperature but is a more consistent print with greater strength for it.
I have other filaments which are 1.6mm near the end of the spool, I assume this is because of tension stretching the filament on the initial windings. Again I guess the filament is warm when wound on as it takes the shape of the spool. In this case as it is a 1kg spool (other were 750g) perhaps the weight caused tension in the final windings too ? I will unwind 10% of the spool sometime and see if it goes to 1.7.
So buy with confidence as they do their best to sort out problems with no arguments. The plasticky smell I believe comes from certain colours, this was silver, perhaps clear will be better.
I have been using ice filament but thought I would try this for a change as the ice went to 1.6mm diameter towards the end. This was 1.7 to start but quickly went to 1.6 !!! Easily seen as it was producing bad layers and the top layers were missing the edges. This is caused by small diameter causing backlash in the bowden tube coupled with not enough filament being extruded. 1.6mm is 10% too small, a massive amount in filament terms. Increasing flow rate to 112% fixes the problem, and confirms the lesser diameter.
Another problem (on the silver one anyway) is fumes. Other makes have never been a problem but I got sore eyes being in the same room when printing. Out of the box the filament smells ‘plasticky’ and more so when heated.
Deserves a star for being flexible (maybe just thinner so bends more 🙁 ) but could have it’s uses. Use in a ventilated room and use a vernier gauge to check diameter before each print and adjust flow rate to suit. Doubt I will use any more as just too risky, no idea what the fumes are.
I will ask amazon for a refund but doubt it is worth returning due to weight, I will return it as long as Sunlu refunds Amazon as not their fault.
Don’t buy it loads better out there. This is my first ever bad review.
Sorry but can’t recommend i
