eSUN PLA+ Filament - 1.75mm Olive Green

These 1kg spools of 1.75mm Olive Green eSUN PLA+ Filament are an excellent choice for 3D Printing, and are particularly good for printing earthy or natural looking objects like potplants or fake mossy rocks. These PLA+ spools are similar to standard PLA spools, but offer quite a range of unique benefits that add value both during the 3D Printing process, as well as once the prints are done. In fact, PLA+ is arguably better in almost every aspect, except for the fact that it has slightly lower tensile strength – although PLA is not ideal for applications requiring high tensile strength, so this is hardly an issue when compared to the many benefits that PLA+ can offer.

Advantages of PLA+

eSUN PLA+ is an upgrade from standard PLA, with extra materials imbued into the plastic to change the characteristics. Although it is slightly more expensive than standard PLA 3D Printer Filament, many 3D Makers insist that it offers more value for money. This is due to three defining characteristics of PLA+, which include a higher melting temperature, a lower distortion temperature, and more impact and flame resistance.

The higher melting temperature means that it is less likely to string and web during printing, as the tiny blobs on the end of the nozzle stay liquid for long, allowing the Hotend Assembly to move away without dragging the plastic behind it. The lower distortion temperatures helps by allowing the plastic more time to solidify, rather than being forced to harden rapidly. This means that the previous layer is still busy hardening while the next layer is being extruded, which then of course acts as a “warm blanket” of sorts to prevent previous layers from distorting or warping – especially if you don’t have a 3D Printer Enclosure to keep the surrounding environment warm.

These characteristics ultimately improve print finish quality substantially, resulting in smoother, cleaner prints without having to invest in an enclosure or other additions. And if that wasn’t enough of a benefit, PLA+ also offers higher impact resistance and elongation capabilities, allowing the plastic to resist damage related to impacts and stretching. This is why so many Makers prefer PLA+ over the standard PLA plastics, as they not only offer better print quality, but also improved durability for more versatility.

Why Buy eSUN Filament from Us:

eSUN has been in the industry of 3D printing and OEM services for top brands since as far back as 2002, and have garnered a strong reputation for providing consistently great quality materials, ranging from ABS to PETG as well as a few eSUN-specific materials like eNinja and eFlexy. We, as engineers who love 3D printing, know that we can rely on their strict quality control standards, and that each and every spool we acquire from them will be consistent, stable and reliable. This quality control is then fortified by our own quality checks, so that we can guarantee the value of the materials we supply to you. This way, you as the end-user never have to even think about the quality of printing materials you acquire from us.

eSUN 3D printer filament is designed and tested to work with all popular makes of FDM printers, and is available in a wide range of natural and obscure colours. eSUN have also designed more advanced types of plastic filament, including eCopper, eBronze and eSteel – which are fortified with metal powders to give prints a metallic, polishable finish – making the material choices for 3D Makers far more diverse than ever before.

The following are some of the primary reasons why we choose to procure and supply eSUN 3D Printer Filament:

• Good Temperature Stability – Due to the quality control checks administered to each spool, eSUN filament contains no defects and has a smoother, more consistent flow. This allows Makers to enjoy cleaner printing with smoother, neater and more aesthetically pleasing prints.
• Pure and Fresh Materials – eSUN choose to not utilize any recycled materials, as these can lead to slight defects, inconsistencies and an overall drop in quality of filament. Instead, eSUN only utilize pure and fresh raw materials for each and every spool.
• SGS Certified – Compliant with FDA and ISO9001 standards, eSUN operate in a safe, controlled and sustainable way – ensuring the quality and safety of the products they supply.
• Excellent Packaging and Spooling – There are few things worse than badly packaged filament that has been exposed to air and absorbed moisture. This is why eSUN place a lot of focus on the neatness, dryness and cleanliness of their packaging – so that the product you receive works precisely as expected without sputters or air bubbles.
• High Standards of Quality Control – In addition to strict checks on the raw materials utilized for filament, eSUN utilize lasers to ensure an impressive diameter spec’ difference – ensuring a consistent diameter that may vary by up to 0.03mm throughout each spool of filament. On the filament box they claim that it’s 0.05mm, but in reality it’s actually even less than that.
• Leaders and Innovators in 3D Printing – As providers of OEM services for top brands since 2002, eSUN have made great advances in 3D printing, including the invention of 3D printer cleaning filament. Additionally, they are widely regarded as the leaders in PETG filament, which many Makers consider to be one of the easiest and most durable materials available.

While there are a wide range of suppliers throughout the world, each offering their own unique range filaments, we have chosen eSUN as our primary supplier simply because we believe they are the best. Not only have they been leaders and innovators, providing services for other companies to market and sell, but they are also constantly refining their existing products as well as producing brand new types of materials like the eFlexy, eBronze or the recent eMorph. This innovation, coupled with stringent quality control and a very affordable price range, makes eSUN our favourite supplier for all types of 3D printer filament.

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.
