Product Information

Overall, PLA+ is a type of PLA marketed to reflect the material’s superior properties, and it’s a great option for printing functional models that require more strength.

PLA ( Poly lactic Acid) is the most popular and widespread filament used in 3D printing. It’s affordable, easy to print, and, more importantly, safe (made from natural materials). PLA is also considered compostable and recyclable. eSUN has a wide range of PLA filaments with different characteristics and applications in more than 26 color options. In this review, we will have a closer look at four types of their materials. The eSUN Wood filaments are suitable for printing daily accessories, toys, sculptures, casings, cosplay, etc. Weighing almost twice less than conventional (0.7 vs. 1.2g/cm density), PLA filaments are suitable for weight-critical projects.

Because of the better dimensional accuracy, PLA+ filament is a better option when printing functional models or any part that needs to fit somewhere, such as a screw, gear, or snap on panel. Speed There are tens of companies manufacturing PLA filaments, and eSun is considered among the best. Their premium PLA+ filament range is specially designed to have high toughness, no bubbles, no warping, and to avoid clogging. eSUN 3D printer filaments: Hands-On Test – Is it Worth it?

But, if your 3D printer doesn’t have an enclosure, I strongly suggest avoiding ABS as printing in an open-air environment almost always yields low-quality or failed prints. PETGFor example, Sunlu recommends printing their regular PLA with a speed of 40-100 mm/s, while capping their speed recommendation for their PLA+ filament at 80 mm/s. While there’s no one answer to this disparity, it’s likely because the higher printing temperature required for PLA+ limits the filament extrusion. So, if you’re printing parts that need to perform under physical stress, such as a gear for a robot, bike attachment, or phone case, PLA+ is the better filament. But, if you’re printing parts that won’t need a lot of strength, such as cosplay pieces or small toys, and you want to print faster or at lower costs, standard PLA filaments will work perfectly! Storage and Hygroscopy A heating bed is not necessary. However, if a heating bed is available, it can be heated up to 45 - 60°C.
