Product Information
Full details
The Esun PLA+ filament is an ideal choice for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals seeking a material that combines the ease of use of standard PLA with significantly improved toughness and impact resistance. This filament is perfect for creating functional prototypes, hobbyist models, and detailed parts that require a smooth finish and structural integrity. While it offers excellent layer adhesion and high-speed compatibility, users should note that as a bio-plastic, it still requires proper storage in a cool, dry environment to maintain its material properties over time.

FAQs
Is this filament compatible with all 1.75mm printers?
Yes, it is designed for any FDM printer that supports 1.75mm diameter filament.
What makes PLA+ different from regular PLA?
PLA+ contains additives that improve impact strength, durability, and layer adhesion compared to traditional PLA.
Do I need a hardened steel nozzle to print this?
No, a standard brass nozzle is sufficient as PLA+ is not abrasive.
Can I print this without a heated bed?
While it is possible, a heated bed is highly recommended to prevent warping and ensure successful adhesion.
How should I store the filament?
Store in a cool, dry place, ideally inside a sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption.
Troubleshooting
Popping or crackling sounds during printing
The filament has absorbed moisture. Dry the spool in a filament dryer at 45–50 °C for 4 to 6 hours.
Poor bed adhesion
Ensure your heated bed is set between 60-80 °C and clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils.
Stringing between parts
Perform a retraction test and increase your retraction distance or speed slightly to compensate for the flow characteristics.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly tougher than standard PLA
- Excellent layer bonding for structural integrity
- Compatible with a wide range of high-speed printers
- Minimal stringing and high-detail accuracy
- Reliable and consistent material diameter
Cons
- More sensitive to moisture than standard materials
- Requires careful temperature calibration for best results
- Limited color range compared to entry-level PLA
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with this 1.75mm filament, ensure your printer nozzle is clean and your build plate is properly leveled.
- Nozzle Temp: 205–225 °C
- Bed Temp: 60–80 °C
- Storage: Keep the spool in an airtight bag with desiccant packs when not in use.
- Maintenance: Periodically clean your extruder drive gear to prevent buildup from dust or residue. Because PLA+ is hygroscopic, if you hear popping sounds during a print, it is an indication that the filament needs to be dried in a dedicated filament dryer.
