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.
Smooth glossy 3D prints feel so great. As avid Makers ourselves, we know the painstaking post-processing steps we usually go through trying to get good looking finishes. If you’re looking to paint your 3D prints for example, it’s a good idea to also look at what filaments you’re using. eSun has led the way in producing various environmentally friendly filaments for beginners and veterans alike to experiment with their 3D Printing. We really enjoy sharing filaments found in the wide eSun PLA range, like this eSun ePLA Gloss Filament which doesn’t just impress with its glossy colour, but its high-quality as well.
This Silver eSun ePLA Gloss Filament prints very similar to standard PLA that many may assume its simply another colour variant to the most common material used for 3D Printing. PLA is indeed an ideal type of plastic for beginners with wider temperature ranges to allow for a margin for error as well as designed for easier prints resisting warping, shrinking and cracking as much as possible, and ePLA Gloss shares these features. However, eSun ePLA Gloss also improves on toughness and its support material is actually easier to peel off due to its smoother surface. The only downfall eSun ePLA Gloss faces is a slightly inferior strength and accuracy to PLA and PLA+ Filaments. A difference that can easily be missed unless you’re considering projects that need precision and hardiness to function, in which case PLA+ would be your best choice. eSun ePLA Gloss Filament is perfect for producing vibrant glossy prints that are practically already finished and make wonderful decorative figurines, minis and even sleek coverings for your DIY Electronics.
A few colours are available in the eSun ePLA Gloss Range with more on their way as eSun releases newly developed filaments. This ePLA Gloss Filament is a beautiful silver that brightly bounces light off its smooth surfaces. Silver has a natural vibrance even without gloss, so this ePLA Gloss Filament turns out aesthetically pleasing prints in their own right, making it a great choice for statue-like models, fun 3D printed coins for a treasure hunt, or shinning silver vases for your plants. Our imaginations are our only limitation, and we can’t wait to see what awe-inspiring prints you create in our DIY Community with the Silver ePLA Gloss Filament.

Although 3D Printing at first glance can seem extremely complicated, with a crazy amount of different polymers and plastics available, PLA and similar materials like ePLA Gloss are polymerised in such a way that even a beginner can enjoy awesome results without ever needing any training or formal education on the topic. This is why it is arguably the most popular filament in the world, and as long as you aren’t requiring the printed models or parts to be very strong, it can handle a wide range of applications from decorative art to functional door handles and similar types of objects.
However, even though it is very easy to print with compared to other polymers, there are still some handy tips to help you get to a good level of quality from your PLA Prints, and this is why we’ve taken the time to provide what we feel are the Top Three Tips for 3D Printing with PLA:
Although we like to believe that we are masters of 3D Printing, after spending a good many years enveloped in the industry, we have to admit that even we learn something new from time to time, and as such we always recommend getting out there and doing your own research to develop your own opinion and grow your knowledge from multiple sources!
As such, in addition to the above PLA Printing Tips, we’ve also gathered an awesome collection of what we feel are great resources to start with when getting into 3D Printing, so be sure to check these out if you’re looking for more insights and information on PLA Printing, or if you’re just curious and eager to see more opinions on one of the many facets of this still-fresh industry:

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.
