eSUN PLA+ Filament 1.75mm, Enhanced Toughness 3D Printer Filament PLA Plus, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm, 1KG Spool (2.2 LBS) 3D Printing Filament for 3D Printers, Fire Engine Red

With the purchase of a new printer (BambuLabs X1Carbon) I have been going through my stock of filament at a rapid rate. Fortunately for me a sale day popped up and had a range of eSun filaments at reduced prices. eSun PETG is one of my favourites so I thought I would try PLA+ for the first time.First things first - it comes very securely packaged in a proper cardboard box, within which the roll is in a thick vacuum sealed plastic bag complete with dissicant. You also get a nicely printed booklet showing the range of filaments and the associated temperatures for optimal performance, which is a nice touch. Quite often the manufacturer just leaves you to do some trial and error.As an aside to anyone considering the X1 or X1Carbon or already owns it - this filament fits into the AMS unit perfectly without fouling the lid or running off-center. The only thing missing is an NFC chip so the unit recognises it automatically!It's pretty forgiving stuff, I used the default settings for PLA which were actually a little low on the temperature side, but it printed quite happily without getting grumpy and causing me any problems. I did up the temperature to the suggested settings after the initial print and it has continued to print well. I have had no issues at all with adhesion on the Bambu flex plate with any filament, this filament included. From my experience, the way this prints I don't imagine anyone else would have any issues either.This filament is definitely worth 5 stars in my opinion, the fact it was on sale and cost less than unbranded mystery filament usually does was the icing on the cake and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

The **eSUN PLA+ Filament 1.75mm** is a fantastic choice for 3D printing enthusiasts who need enhanced toughness and durability without compromising on print quality. This **PLA Plus filament** builds on the easy-to-print properties of standard PLA, offering increased impact resistance and tensile strength, making it ideal for more demanding applications such as functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and detailed models.The filament is manufactured with **strict diameter tolerances**, ensuring smooth and consistent extrusion, which results in high-quality prints with minimal stringing or warping. Its excellent layer adhesion further enhances the strength and durability of printed models. Compatible with most FDM 3D printers, the filament is user-friendly, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users.Available in a variety of vibrant colors, the **eSUN PLA+ Filament** produces prints with a smooth, polished surface finish. Whether you're creating decorative items, functional components, or artistic projects, this filament delivers reliable performance with enhanced toughness, making it a go-to choice for achieving strong, professional-grade results.

We've used Esun for a while now and always impressed with the quality. Even in the larger size, the filament doesn't knot easily like some other brands do. No issues with blocked nozzles when printing either. Arrives sealed well to ensure minimal moisture. Definitely high quality for a very affordable price.

“Reliable PLA+ with minimal fuss—ideal for both benches and showcase pieces.” Printed Benchy and phone stand—low warping, no clogging, clean layers at 205 °C. Better toughness than standard PLA.Pros: Good dimensional accuracy (+0.03 mm), consistent color, tough printsCons: Could improve spool hub design—gets tangled if not careful.Would I buy again? Yes when I want a step up from basic PLA.

Probably the best filament around in terms of price/performance. Prints great on my Ender 3 and is far stronger than you’d expect from PLA.

Very cheap, recyclable packaging and gives as good a quality prints as the other brands I've tried. My only issue has been the occasional snap during printing but my filament path is quite long and bendy so I imagine it's not a problem for most people.

I have used about 8kg of this filament and it was great.BUT.. it depends on which spool you get, which is random.Hopefully you get the cardboard spool which I've had 8kg of and works great but the plastic spools you get. So bad. Constantly getting stuck, the filament just randomly snaps. Nothing but problems with the two recent plastic spools I got. It's a shame but if they finally ever resolve the issue I may continue to use them if I get the cardboard spools and not the older plastic spool crap.Customer service is crap.

Great colour for military vehicles. Prints well.
