eSUN 1.75mm Bone White PLA PRO (PLA+) 3D Printer Filament 1KG Spool (2.2lbs), Bone White (Pantone 7507C)

This stuff is great. Is it without compromise? No, but it's still an exceptional filament.There seems to be a misconception that it's significantly stronger than regular PLA, but that's not the case. It's actually slightly-softer, and has a slightly-lower Tg. However, I DO mean slightly... the numbers are negligible considering PLA's typical use for low-heat, decorative purposes. This isn't a secret, the filament comes with a comparison sheet and it clearly shows these numbers.The reason everyone thinks it's so much stronger is because it's MUCH more flexible than regular PLA, which as everyone knows is extremely brittle. The PLA+ prints are much easier to handle or fit into other parts since they won't snap/shatter as soon as you try to bend them slightly. This makes huge difference.As for print-ability... it's simply amazing. I've produced my best-looking prints using this filament. It handles bridges and overhangs very well, it has negligible stringiness, and it shows exceptional detail across all layer heights. I've never seen my 0.1mm prints look so good.Despite what some people say, it's not quite as easy to print as regular PLA. But is it as difficult as ABS to print? Not even close... Your bed does need to be leveled well for it to stick and it required glue stick on heated glass for good adhesion, where I found I can print regular PLA on bare heated glass. I had no problems with warping, but I did need to let the part cool down naturally on the platform before attempting removal. When I first attempted to remove a print warm it did warp slightly after cooling.In summary, it's sort of like PLA (with all it's benefits) inherited the flexible characteristics of ABS at the expense of 10% more print difficulty. It's doesn't have enough strength or heat resistance to replace ABS, but one could easy replace all their PLA with PLA+ and be very happy. It's certainly worth the $3 extra per spool. I have no reason buy regular PLA anymore.In case you're curious, here are my basic settings.Extruder Temp = 215 CBed Temp = 70 CSpeed = 45-60mm/sCooling Fan = 100% entire printAdditions = Pre-extrusion brim enabled, no raftAdhesion = Elmers purple glue stick on glass

so far have ordered this item a few times, about half the time the roll has been decent. at least 1 roll has been cross rolled throughout the entire roll and filament locked my printer multiple times ending 20+ hour prints. When notified the seller, they said it wasn't their fault and that I should just rewind the roll myself... if you ever have tried this, you know its next to impossible by hand.When it's a good roll, its prints nicely around 215 and bed temp about 60. I will probably be searching for a better supplier as the one Amazon is using is not great, but for now I am only out the cost of a roll.

This is the best filament if you wish to make lithopanes.. it is different than any other brand's white on the market... much better contrast and brightness levels than your typical white.. if you dont care and are cheap then get any old white.. any will do.. but if you do care, then esun cool white is the ONLY white color you will ever use again.. plus they have refills which save money (and tons of plastic spools i have had to dump).. if you do make lithos with it, you will find it actually costs the same as most cheap whites, since for the cheap ones you have to make your lithos about 3-3.2mm thick, and with esun CW you only need to make is 1.8-2mm thick, so you only use about half the pla....

I got a roll of this filament as a present from good friend to try out 8 moth ago. And I was amazed how good and easy it was printing. (To be said - I have two 3D printers, both with bowden extruders and using them like 2..3 times a month for my drones and other electronic projects). So this roll was solidly dominating in 95% of my recent projects, because it was so easy printing with great quality and minimum tuning hustle. My stash of Hatchbox PLA & ABS spools were left untouched all this time. Eventually it ended, so I've decided to order a new spool from Amazon. But to my big surprise printing the same part on new freshly unsealed filament failed. The reason seems to be that diameter is less than it should be (old roll 1.72 mm, new roll 1.68 mm). Wherever there is a retraction happening - new filament just fails to extrude properly. Even after I've simplified the design of the part it failed to get a proper layer bond in a the are of screw wholes. Switched the filament to 3 year old spool of translucent orange eSUN PETG (which is exactly 1.75) and the part printed right away (the same G-code from SD card).

I went for this one as my printer came with a half roll of esun orange PLA which prints great. I use a test print of a small buddha character which came with the printer for testing. The orange and other PLAs I bought came out great so I hoped this one would be just as good but it just completed and there was a fair bit of stringing. The description of this PLA says 215 should be good, hotter than regular PLA but this model already prints at 230 which is about 30 hotter than I regularly print. I guess I will try moving the temperature in both directions and see if one helps. Maybe this is just less tolerant of being printed hot.Edit: I am upgrading my rating of this. It's still stringy and the print quality is not quite as good as I would like but this stuff is strong. I don't have any physical tests but just the hand-feel of the prints I have just done have impressed me. Where regular PLA would feel brittle, this feels very tough. I understand that there are still heat limitations for this but I'm very happy with my purchase.Edit2: I bought this for doing lithophanes but the pigment is so dense I might have to print them quite a bit thinner than for other filaments. I'm not marking it down for that though as it's all about experimenting.
