3D printing PLA filament eSun PLA-BASIC175H1P1 1.75 mm Grey 1 kg

eSun PLA-BASIC175H1P1 1.75 mm Grey is a 1 kg spool of general-purpose PLA filament designed for FDM 3D printers. The filament is formulated to provide consistent diameter, reliable feeding and low warping behavior across typical desktop printing temperatures. It is intended for rapid prototyping, hobby models, functional household parts and educational projects that require easy printing and good surface finish.

Advantages

This PLA filament offers stable extrusion and consistent layer adhesion for predictable print results. Its low shrinkage and reduced warping help maintain dimensional accuracy on a variety of print geometries. The grey colour provides neutral aesthetics suitable for prototypes and finished parts, and the filament is compatible with common 1.75 mm extruders and standard PLA print settings, enabling straightforward setup and fast iteration.

Suitable for

• Prototyping and concept models
• Hobbyist prints and miniatures
• Functional household parts with moderate mechanical load
• Educational and workshop projects

Key specifications

• Material: Polylactic Acid (PLA)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Net weight: 1 kg spool
• Colour: Grey
• Compatibility: Standard FDM/FFF printers designed for 1.75 mm filament
• Typical printing behaviour: Low warping, good layer adhesion

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FDM extruder, confirm correct filament path and set the extruder temperature according to your printer and nozzle — typical PLA printing temperatures range from 190–220°C. Use a heated bed if available (40–60°C) or a suitable build surface to improve first-layer adhesion. Calibrate extrusion multiplier and retraction settings as needed to reduce stringing and ensure dimensional accuracy. Print at moderate speeds to balance surface finish and detail capture.

Usage recommendations

Store the filament in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture uptake. For improved adhesion on larger prints, consider using a brim or raft. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight to maintain material properties.
