Product Information
Full details
The Esun PLA+ Filament in Dark Blue is designed for makers and professionals who require high-performance, reliable 3D printing results with minimal post-processing. It offers 10 times the durability of standard PLA and seamless compatibility with Bambu Lab AMS systems, making it an excellent choice for functional prototypes and aesthetic models. While it is significantly stronger and more heat-resistant than typical filaments, users should be aware that it requires slightly higher bed temperatures to ensure optimal first-layer adhesion.

FAQs
Is this filament compatible with Bambu Lab AMS?
Yes, it is fully compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS system.
What is the recommended bed temperature?
The recommended bed temperature range is 60–80 °C.
Does this require a hardened steel nozzle?
No, standard brass nozzles work perfectly fine with this PLA+ formulation.
How do I ensure the paper spool works well in the AMS?
The spool comes with a rubberized edge designed to provide the necessary grip for the AMS internal rollers.
Is this filament biodegradable?
Like most PLA products, it is derived from renewable plant resources, though it is not home-compostable.
Troubleshooting
Poor first-layer adhesion
Increase your bed temperature by 5-10 degrees within the 60-80 °C range and ensure the print surface is clean.
Extruder clicking or jamming
Check that the filament is not tangled on the paper spool and verify that your print speed is not exceeding the hotend's flow capacity.
Excessive stringing
Perform a retraction test and slightly lower the printing temperature to reduce oozing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly higher impact resistance than standard PLA
- Smooth, glossy surface finish minimizes the need for sanding
- Optimized for smooth feeding through Bambu Lab AMS units
- Paper spool design reduces environmental footprint
- Consistent diameter prevents extrusion inconsistencies
Cons
- Requires higher bed temperatures compared to base PLA
- Slightly higher cost than budget-tier standard PLA
- Paper spools may be sensitive to high-humidity storage environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal prints with the Esun PLA+ Dark Blue, follow these technical specifications:
- Printing Temperature: 205–225 °C
- Bed Temperature: 60–80 °C
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place inside a sealed bag with desiccants to maintain the integrity of the filament and the paper spool.
Ensure your printer bed is leveled correctly and thoroughly cleaned to handle the higher bed temperature requirements. If you notice signs of stringing, perform a temperature tower calibration within the 205–225 °C range to find the 'sweet spot' for your specific hotend assembly.
