eSUN – PLA+ – Black – 1kg – 1.75mm

Description

PLA+ is a type of 3D printer filament that is based on standard PLA, but with extra additives to enhance a wide range of qualities. It addresses many of the common problems that PLA presents, such as the brittle nature, low elongation breaking point, as well as layer adhesion. The only area in which regular PLA beats PLA+ is in tensile strength, although it is a slight difference, and is far outweighed by the plethora of benefits.

ADVANTAGES OF PLA+

eSUN PLA+ is considered by many as the new standard for PLA printing, and despite being slightly more expensive than typical PLA, it offers far more value for money. It is not only easier to work with, but also produces better, smoother and less spider-webbed prints – while also being more flame resistant as well.

In terms of the value that PLA+ brings to printing, it offers a wide variety of benefits, the first of which you will notice is far greater layer adhesion. This is due to the higher flow temperature, which will also help to produce less spider-webbing in gaps and less stringing along surfaces. Additionally, PLA+ has a lower distortion temperature, which means it is allowed a longer time to settle before it actually cools. This can be particularly beneficial for 3D printers without enclosures, and helps to ensure that each of the layers are printed before the previous layer starts warping or distorting – further improving on layer adhesion.

While there are many other less predominant benefits, such being less brittle than PLA in filament form, the final key feature we will discuss is PLA+’s print finish quality. Owing to the enhanced layer adhesion, lower Melt Flow Index and higher stable print temperatures, PLA+ produces smoother, cleaner and more durable results. Whereas typical PLA is often brittle and can shatter quite easily, PLA+ has enough elongation and bending strength to resist falls, impacts and breaks from stretching. With these benefits in mind, it’s easy to see why so many Makers are choosing PLA+ as their favourite 3D printer filament.

WHY BUY ESUN FILAMENT FROM US?

eSUN has been in the industry of 3D printing and OEM services for top brands since as far back as 2002, and have garnered a strong reputation for providing consistently great quality materials, ranging from ABS to PETG as well as a few eSUN-specific materials like eNinja and eFlexy. We, as engineers who love 3D printing, know that we can rely on their strict quality control standards, and that each and every spool we acquire from them will be consistent, stable and reliable. This quality control is then fortified by our own quality checks, so that we can guarantee the value of the materials we supply to you. This way, you as the end-user never have to even think about the quality of printing materials you acquire from us.

eSUN 3D printer filament is designed and tested to work with all popular makes of FDM printers, and is available in a wide range of natural and obscure colours. eSUN have also designed more advanced types of plastic filament, including eCopper, eBronze and eSteel – which are fortified with metal powders to give prints a metallic, polishable finish – making the material choices for 3D Makers far more diverse than ever before.

The following are some of the primary reasons why we choose to procure and supply eSUN 3D printer filament:

• Good Temperature Stability – Due to the quality control checks administered to each spool, eSUN filament contains no defects and has a smoother, more consistent flow. This allows Makers to enjoy cleaner printing with smoother, neater and more aesthetically pleasing prints.
• Pure and Fresh Materials – eSUN choose to not utilize any recycled materials, as these can lead to slight defects, inconsistencies and an overall drop in quality of filament. Instead, eSUN only utilize pure and fresh raw materials for each and every spool.
• SGS Certified – Compliant with FDA and ISO9001 standards, eSUN operate in a safe, controlled and sustainable way – ensuring the quality and safety of the products they supply.
• Excellent Packaging and Spooling – There are few things worse than badly packaged filament that has been exposed to air and absorbed moisture. This is why eSUN place a lot of focus on the neatness, dryness and cleanliness of their packaging – so that the product you receive works precisely as expected without sputters or air bubbles.
• High Standards of Quality Control – In addition to strict checks on the raw materials utilized for filament, eSUN utilize lasers to ensure an impressive diameter spec’ difference – ensuring a consistent diameter that may vary by up to 0.03mm throughout each spool of filament. On the filament box they claim that it’s 0.05mm, but in reality it’s actually even less than that.
• Leaders and Innovators in 3D Printing – As providers of OEM services for top brands since 2002, eSUN have made great advances in 3D printing, including the invention of 3D printer cleaning filament. Additionally, they are widely regarded as the leaders in PETG filament, which many Makers consider to be one of the easiest and most durable materials available.

While there are a wide range of suppliers throughout the world, each offering their own unique range filaments, we have chosen eSUN as our primary supplier simply because we believe they are the best. Not only have they been leaders and innovators, providing services for other companies to market and sell, but they are also constantly refining their existing products as well as producing brand new types of materials like the eFlexy, eBronze or the recent eMorph. This innovation, coupled with stringent quality control and a very affordable price range, makes eSUN our favourite supplier for all types of 3D printer filament.
