eSun PLA+ Refilament with eSpool - 1.75mm Fire Engine Red

We gave a hat tip to the good guys over at eSUN when we saw an environmentally friendly option for 3D filament that still performs better in comparison to its predecessor. The eSun 1.75mm PLA+ ReFilament is an affordable and dependable way to reduce plastic pollution while ensuring your 3D prints come out with the same smoothness as before. This ReFilament was extracted and purified from corn grain, making it 10 times tougher than standard PLA and giving your prints a glossy, high-quality result. We recommend slightly higher printing temperatures, but don’t let it sound intimidating. eSun’s PLA+ ReFilament will actually give you an easier time, especially when utilising its strength for printing bridges and overhangs.

Of course, you can’t use your new filament without a spool. As avid 3D Makers, we found there's only so many leaning towers of spools we can collect before the people of Pisa start getting jealous. eSun’s eSpool solved our small uprising problem and we believe it’ll do the same for any space issues you may be experiencing. Using eSun’s ReFilament, although wonderfully eco-friendly, often required Makers to previously go through the hassle to print their own spools or else contend with the unnecessary waste of empty spools piling in the corners. That’s why we’re sharing the eSun eSpool with you. It is a reusable spool that arrives in five sturdy parts. The eSpool is easy to assemble and allows you to switch between ReFilament windings whenever you like.

eSun’s clever spooling technique will enhance your 3D printing with an eco-conscience, let you enjoy the additional features of PLA+ ReFilament, avoid the hassles while saving money, and, most importantly, allow you to continue making the awesome ambitious prints you love.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR 3D PRINTING PLA+:

Before diving headfirst into this section, it’s important to remember that PLA+ is very similar to standard PLA, but has just been modified slightly to make it easier to print with and slightly more durable. With this in mind, you will notice that a lot of the following resources are catered toward standard PLA, but should work almost exactly the same for PLA+ Filament too. So, without further ado, the following are some of the top extra resources that we’ve found for 3D Printing PLA+, which may offer some great tips and assistance for even the most advanced of 3D Makers:

• This is a relatively general Guide on PLA Printing by Simplify3D, world-renowned experts in 3D modelling and Computer Aided Design. It offers so great tips for troubleshooting minor problems, while giving some good general guidelines on how to “dial in” your 3D Printer one step at a time.
• The next awesome resource we have to share is the Awesome Rigid Ink PLA Guide, which offers a mountain-load of insights into the chemical and material composition of PLA, with a slew of great tips and tricks on how to get your PLA looking good (and behaving properly) for every print.
• Finally, this is just a great General 3D Printing Quality Guide, that is designed to help users troubleshoot various quality-related problems, while giving some great tips on what to do when certain problems arise. If you’re struggling with an issue, this is a great place to find out what is actually going wrong, as well as how you can remedy it, with good explanations of why certain remedies work to fix certain problems.

Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd was established in 2002 in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and has rapidly become one of the leading international suppliers of 3D Printing Filament. They specialise in research, development and production of degradable polymer materials, and have grown their catalogue of filaments to include PLA, ABS, PC, PVA, and a wide range of other polymers and copolymers.

Their list of exclusive filament formulas include unique materials like wood, aluminium, bronze and other materials to create highly specialised filaments that can stretch, bend, be moulded or otherwise behave in very unique ways. Their filaments are also commonly characterised by their absolutely round shape, extremely low diameter tolerance, uniform colours and impressively stable melting points. These characteristics, in combination with their long-term insistent policy of “Best Quality, Reasonable Price” has garnered them a large share of the market, with their reputation commonly preceding them within knowledgeable online and offline 3D Printing communities.

eSUN’s popularity in the industry has also helped to produce sustainable partnerships with many internationally famous 3D Printer manufacturers and distributors, with DIYElectronics having sole distributorship rights to provide their 3D Printing Filaments to South Africa and neighbouring African countries.
