Great stuff. Used atleast 5 spools of this now on my Neptune 3Pro and it’s been flawless every time, utterly brilliant. Strong too even at 15% infill my props have been dropped, stood on, you name it and not a single one has broken, with the exception of one but I stood on the joint between the barrel and the body where it was only 2 walls thick, that’s more my design issue than anything else. I print at 220’C and 65’C bed temperature at a speed of around 65mm/s. This gives perfect layer lines that are easily hidden with filler primer 🙂
Cold white is a must when you dont care about colour, esun pla is just the best out there no other brand i have tested is near the quality of esun.
Out of the brands i have tried, this is the best I’ve used for Grey and other colours.
Colour comes out great and the prints remain strong with the thinnest of walls, to the point I’m coming back for this specific brand when i run out or looking for new colours.
Great cheap 3d printer filament. works as expected. i have had some issues out of the box with adhesion to the bed and the quality of the print. once i did some tuning of my 3d printer to match the filament the problems seemed to disappear. i have been able to print a full thin walled (single wall thickness) RC aircraft. would recommend a purchase if you’re looking for something a bit cheaper but still getting good value for money.
Always great to use this filament hasn’t let me down once always prints great at 225c great vacuum seal and well boxed always my go-to filament with great value for money and always being consiste
Reliable and affordable. I just keep on buying this one. Finish has a nice shine. No tangles or jamming. Great bed adherence. Look at the benchy photos attached and tell me this isn’t brilliant…!
This PLA+ was originally purchased for use with an A1, but since they got recalled, I have been using it with a replacement X1C instead.
I had no problems with this PLA+ on the open AMS lite, but when using it in the full version of the AMS with the X1C, every time I go to use this filament it ends up snapping within the AMS no matter which slot it’s used on. So I wouldn’t recommend using this PLA with the AMS – however I presume other people have been able to use this filament without problems.
When using the PLA+ with the A1, the print quality was good, and I overall had no issues.
For the price, this is a great fillament, easy to thread and get started with. I had some adhesion issues to begin with and found it did not deal well with higher temperatures. I found the best temperature range for this is 200–205 for the nozzle and 60–65 for the plate, as anything higher will just cause problems with the print and adhesion issues. Once printed, it is completely opaque and very sturdy. It does dry rather fast, which is great for faster printers; however, the spool itself also dries out fast, so if it is left overnight with no print, there is a chance the threaded fillament may break and you will have to rethread it. Otherwise, a great product.
I have bought filaments from this company and very pleased with then, color and adhesion to bed very good. Overal very good product. I have used it with Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro and Bambu Lab P1P and filamnet of very good quality and strenght. Also after printing filament stays shiny not matt. I like it a lot and will recomend. Also used Bambu Lab filaments, Anyucbic which is not good, used Polymaker which I like. You can compare this filament with one of the best on the market which are more pricier and will performe. Very pleased with my buy. Would recommend.
I bought this in place of Eryone Silver PLA which is no longer sold on Amazon, but compared to that this filament is definitely grey rather than silver. However, it does print really nicely and I’m very happy with the quality of the parts it has produced.
UPDATE: I’ve come back after a few months to take off one star, because out of all the PLA I have this one becomes brittle very quickly. I think it may be absorbing moisture quite rapidly when sitting out, but on 3 occasions now I’ve left it on the printer for only a couple of days and it has become so brittle it’s shattered within the reverse Bowden tube. Seems fine after a few hours in the dryer. I have other eSun PLA and PLA+ spools on which this is not an issue at all.
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.
Overall, I found it to be a good quality material. The white color of the filament was especially nice and produced clean and crisp prints.
However, I did experience a few issues with the filament. At times, the material would get stuck, and I had trouble getting the roll to spin properly. This was frustrating and caused delays in my printing process.
Additionally, I noticed that the color of the filament changed when it became too hot, resulting in a brownish color appearing. This was a bit disappointing, as it affected the overall appearance of my prints.
Despite these issues, I still believe that the PLA+ Filament 1.75mm is a good option for those looking for a reliable and affordable filament. The white color is particularly impressive, and the material produces clean prints when it is working correctly. However, it is important to keep in mind the potential issues with the material getting stuck and the color changing when it becomes too hot.
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.
