eSun PLA+ 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1kg - Apricot

The eSun PLA+ 3D printer filament in apricot is a premium-grade material engineered to provide superior mechanical properties compared to standard polylactic acid. This 1.75mm filament is formulated for enhanced toughness and impact resistance, making it a reliable choice for users who require more durability than basic materials offer. With a 1kg spool weight, it provides consistent diameter accuracy and stable extrusion, ensuring that your 3D printing projects achieve high detail resolution and a smooth surface finish.

Advantages

This filament stands out due to its improved structural integrity and reduced brittleness, which are common issues with traditional PLA. The material exhibits low shrinkage during the cooling process, minimizing the risk of warping or curling on the print bed. Its excellent layer adhesion ensures that parts are strong and durable, while the apricot color provides a unique aesthetic for finished models. The filament is compatible with a wide range of FDM 3D printers and is designed to prevent nozzle clogging, facilitating a seamless printing experience.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes requiring moderate durability
• Decorative models and artistic sculptures
• Educational projects and classroom demonstrations
• Rapid prototyping for product design

This filament may not be suitable for applications involving high-temperature environments, as PLA+ can soften or deform when exposed to heat exceeding 50-60 degrees Celsius. It is also not recommended for parts that require extreme chemical resistance or high-impact mechanical stress, where materials like ABS, PETG, or Nylon would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.75mm
• Spool weight: 1kg
• Material: PLA+ (Polylactic Acid Plus)
• Color: Apricot
• Print temperature range: 205-225 degrees Celsius
• Bed temperature: 25-70 degrees Celsius

To use this filament, load the spool onto your 3D printer's holder and feed the end into the extruder. Ensure that your printer settings, specifically the nozzle and bed temperatures, are calibrated within the recommended range for PLA+. Before starting a long print, it is advisable to perform a test print to verify the flow rate and adhesion to the build plate. Keep the filament dry and stored in a sealed bag with desiccant when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your 3D printer supports 1.75mm diameter filament
• Ensure your printer's hotend can reach the required temperature range
• Consider the color requirements for your specific project
• Check if your printer requires a heated bed for optimal adhesion

For the best results, store the filament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the filament has been exposed to humidity, consider drying it in a filament dryer before use to maintain print quality and prevent surface defects.
