Please Note: eSun has recently changed their filament spool material. You may receive a cardboard spool, instead of the plastic spools depicted above. This move means a more environmentally friendly design to their 3D filament spools which comfortably sit on your 3D printer's standard spool holder for smooth filament feeding.
PLA+ is a type of 3D printer filament that is based on the ever-common PLA Filament that everyone knows and loves, but has been bolstered with extra additives to enhance the polymer in more than just print quality, but also mechanical strength too. It addresses many of the common problems that PLA presents, such as the brittle nature, low elongation breaking point, as well as layer adhesion, resulting in better printing results, as well as a more enjoyable 3D Printing experience with fewer problems and hassles as you transform your digital designs into physical prints.
The Great Advantages of PLA+ Filament:
eSUN PLA+ is considered by many as the new standard for PLA printing, and despite being slightly more expensive than typical PLA, it offers far more value for money. It is not only easier to work with, but also produces better, smoother and less stringing – while also being more flame resistant as well.
In terms of the value that PLA+ brings to printing, it offers a wide variety of benefits, the first of which you will notice is far greater layer adhesion. This is due to the higher flow temperature, which will also help to produce less spider-webbing in gaps and less stringing along surfaces. Additionally, PLA+ has a lower distortion temperature, which means it is allowed a longer time to settle before it actually cools. This can be particularly beneficial for 3D Printers without enclosures, and helps to ensure that each of the layers are printed before the previous layer starts warping or distorting – further improving on layer adhesion.
While there are many other minor benefits, such as being less brittle than PLA, the final key feature we will discuss is PLA+’s print finish quality. Owing to the enhanced layer adhesion, lower Melt Flow Index and higher stable print temperatures, PLA+ produces smoother, cleaner and more durable results. Whereas typical PLA is often brittle and can shatter quite easily, PLA+ has enough elongation and bending strength to resist falls, impacts and breaks from stretching. And with these benefits in mind, it’s easy to see why so many Makers are choosing PLA+ as their new favourite 3D Printer Filament.

Why Buy eSUN 3D 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 Specialty Filaments 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.
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.

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.
