Product Information
Full details
The eSUN PLA+ 1.75mm filament is designed for hobbyists and professionals who require a reliable, high-toughness material that bridges the gap between standard PLA ease-of-use and mechanical durability. It is an ideal choice for functional prototypes and conceptual models due to its superior layer adhesion and impact resistance. However, users should note that as a thermoplastic, it requires specific temperature management to avoid common extrusion issues, and it is not intended for high-heat environments where thermal deformation might occur.

FAQs
Is this filament compatible with my 3D printer?
Yes, it is compatible with any FDM 3D printer that accepts 1.75mm filament.
Does this filament require a heated bed?
While it can sometimes print without one, a heated bed set between 60°C and 80°C is highly recommended for best adhesion.
What should I do if the filament gets wet?
Use a dedicated filament dryer or a food dehydrator at approximately 45-50°C for several hours to remove absorbed moisture.
Is eSUN PLA+ food safe?
While the material is FDA certified, the 3D printing process itself involves the nozzle and potential contamination, so it is generally not recommended for food contact items.
How do I ensure the best surface finish?
Ensure your print cooling fan is functioning properly and your printing speed is consistent to maintain high gloss and transparency.
Troubleshooting
Prints are not sticking to the bed
Clean the bed surface thoroughly, ensure the Z-offset is properly calibrated, and verify that the bed temperature is set to at least 60°C.
Stringing or oozing between parts
Reduce your nozzle temperature slightly within the recommended 210-230°C range and optimize your retraction settings in the slicer software.
Extruder clicking or jamming
Check for nozzle clogs and ensure the print temperature is high enough for the flow rate, or check for filament tangles on the spool.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High mechanical strength and rigidity
- Excellent surface finish and detail
- Reduced warping compared to standard materials
- Reliable and consistent extrusion
- Safe, bio-based raw materials
Cons
- Higher temperature requirements than standard PLA
- Not suitable for high-temperature service environments
- Can be sensitive to moisture if not stored correctly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results with eSUN PLA+:
- Print Settings: Set your nozzle temperature between 210°C and 230°C and the build plate temperature between 60°C and 80°C.
- Compatibility: Compatible with virtually any 1.75mm FDM/FFF 3D printer. Ensure your slicer settings are calibrated for the specific material profile.
- Storage: The filament arrives vacuum-sealed with desiccant. To maintain print quality, store the spool in a dry, cool environment when not in use. If the filament becomes brittle, it may have absorbed moisture and should be dried in a dedicated filament dryer.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean your print bed with isopropyl alcohol to ensure consistent first-layer adhesion.
