Product Information
Full details
Esun PLA+ filament is designed for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals seeking a balance of high durability and ease of printing. This material provides significantly improved strength and layer adhesion compared to standard PLA, making it ideal for functional prototypes and aesthetic prints that require a smooth, glossy surface. While it offers superior mechanical properties, users should ensure their printer settings are tuned to the 205–225°C temperature range to avoid potential extrusion issues.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the recommended print temperature?
The recommended nozzle temperature is 205–225°C.
Does this work with the Bambu Lab AMS?
Yes, this filament is compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS system.
Do I need a heated bed?
Yes, a heated bed set between 60–80°C is recommended for best results.
Is this material biodegradable?
Like most PLA-based filaments, it is derived from renewable plant resources, though it requires specific industrial composting conditions to break down efficiently.
What is the tolerance of the filament diameter?
The diameter is 1.75mm with a precision tolerance of +/- 0.05mm.
How should I store the filament?
Store in a dry, sealed bag with silica gel packs to prevent moisture absorption.
Troubleshooting
Print is warping or lifting from the bed
Increase the bed temperature by 5°C and ensure the first layer is properly squished; use a brim for larger prints.
Filament clogging in the nozzle
Perform a cold pull to clean the nozzle and verify that your retraction settings are not too high, which can cause heat creep.
Stringing between objects
Perform a retraction test and slightly increase your retraction distance or decrease your printing temperature by 5°C.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly higher impact strength than standard PLA
- Excellent layer bonding reduces print failure
- Smooth and glossy finish reduces post-processing labor
- Paper spool design supports sustainable printing practices
- Compatible with high-speed and multi-material systems like Bambu Lab AMS
Cons
- Requires specific temperature control compared to basic PLA
- Higher printing temperatures may demand a more robust hotend
- Paper spool edge can sometimes create dust if handled roughly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure your hotend is heated to between 205°C and 225°C. A heated print bed set to 60–80°C is recommended to improve adhesion to the build surface. Always store the spool in a cool, dry place inside an airtight bag with desiccant when not in use, as PLA materials can absorb moisture from the air over time, which may degrade print quality. The paper spool is designed for smooth rotation; ensure it is mounted on a compatible holder that does not exceed the spool's internal diameter capacity.
