I love their cold white PLA. The results are always so…white. But in a good way.
Easily one of the best colours, way better than the warm whites most others produce.
I normally hate the colour yellow but their yellow filament is pretty good, would also recommend fire engine red, pine green and light brown.
I've currently got 12 different colours of eSun PLA+ and they are all fantastic. It is also one of the longest lasting filaments I have used. I can print from a roll that has been open for 3 years and it prints identical to a brand new roll from the packet. I dont have any special storage either, just sits on a desk or in a drawer.
I love eSUN PLA+, the only colour I don't rate is their orange, which is sickly pale (doesn't look like that in the photos, but IRL it's a horrible pastel orange).
Also you must be living in a very dry place; I'm in Sydney and my PLA+ filament goes bad (goes stringy and hairy) after 1-2 weeks exposed to the open air. Relative humidity indoors ranges between 40-85%, though lately it's been pretty dry most of the time (around 35% RH right now, which is remarkably low).
I live in South West of WA. My filament is in my brick shed which is open under the tin roof and humidity is 70-75% year round.
I am pretty sure I have an orange eSun at home still in its box which to me looks very bright. I'll have to check. It would have been ordered within the last 12 months so not sure if they have changed it since then.
my cool white pla+ is the most painful filament I have, there must be something wrong with it. Spent more time trying to tune it than my other dozen filaments combined and although its not too bad now its still one of my worst. I actually grab my eSun PETG white (which is a similarly bright/cool white) where possible because it prints great for me on my direct drive.
I have Ender 3 V2 with stock hot-end but upgraded metal extruder. I pretty much get identical prints across all my eSun PLA+ colours. Normally print at 200c nozzle, 60c bed. Sometimes drop to 190 nozzle if the shed is hot in summer or increase bed to 65 in winter when it is cold.
How does the white print poorly for you? Stringing ? Lack of adhesion?
I'm on a Prusa Mk3s+.
Most of my eSun PLA+ is printed at 200c nozzle and 60c bed also. Some colors could do with a very small drop in nozzle temp below 200c IMO but it's a pretty good general setting for all except my cool white. On that profile my cool white is pretty bad, and its pretty terrible at 205c nozzle. I'm printing cool white at 196c at the moment together with other minor settings adjustments which helps clean it up a lot but its still drooling and stringing more than my other filaments. I'm hesitant to keep dropping the nozzle temp because its not really worth the risk, it has clumping issues too that aren't changing with nozzle temp adjustments. It was like this straight out of the wrapper btw and I store all my filament in IP67 boxes with silica gel.
No adhesion problem. Besides very small/fine 1st layer features, I've only ever had adhesion problems with eSun multi-color glow-in-the-dark (which seems to have very inconsistent 1st layer adhesion, maybe relating to which of its multiple colors is printing at the time)
@Joku: Thats a bummer then. I have a few stringing issues at the moment with some prints but that is more to to with my printer settings at the moment than the filament as I have printed from these rolls fine in the last two weeks.
I have printed eSun as low as 175 in the past for one or two prints and it printed fine at 180 the other day during a temp tower test. I guess ambient temp, thermal mass in hot end and other things all play a part.
Put in more than $49 and no free postage, did I miss something?
Think OP has a typo, it's meant to be $149 for free shipping I believe.
Oh thanks man
$149 that’s a lot of plastic
Has this deal ended? I see $26
Good plastic, good seller. FYI for those in Melbourne you can also do pick-up from their warehouse which is next to IKEA Springvale.
