Works well with Bambu Labs X1C
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.
Needed a golden filament to print a dragon head for my eldest daughter. Was a bit dubious when it arrived as it wasn’t as gold as I expected. However it couldn’t have turned out better. Silk pla is notoriously difficult to print with but this came out perfect first time. Printed at 230 degrees at 250mm/s.
Would recommend to anyone and at the current price it’s an incredible bargain.
A Top Performe
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.
Good quality Filame
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.
SUNLU PLA+ gives me consistently good results
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.
Very good quality and equivalent to eSun, less stringing and a better white colour than eSun.
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.
Bought Gold filament. Not as super shiny as the pics sugges
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.
Not convincingly gold coloured
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!
Become my number one choice
After using so many SUNLU filaments now, it become my number one choice on PLA filaments. In my first review below I mentioned that my first SUNLU filament required drying, I don’t get that anymore, they print very well, and they are now shipping with resealable bags. My last filament from SUNLU was a gray one and it was exactly the shade that I was after for my MMU project, I’m quite happy with the filament, and I’ll keep buying more.
Previous Review:
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.
Great filament.
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.
