With the ever-increasing use of fossil fuels and manufacturing processes relating to consumables, it’s refreshing to see a company like eSUN focus on environmental friendliness with their addition of the eSUN ReFilament range. These windings of 3D Filament utilise a clever spooling technique that allows eSUN to completely remove the actual spool, resulting in a winding of filament that offers the exact same specifications and print quality, but rather in a far more environmentally friendly way that is aimed at reducing the obvious impacts that plastic production has on our world.
Art and 3D printing have always fit amazingly together as 3D printing literally gives new dimensions to limitless designs and pieces. Even non-artistic individuals can create mind-blowing models within a few hours that would normally require days of hand sculpting. The wide world of filaments available each year have expanded the types and colours for 3D Makers to choose from. eSun’s PLA range, especially, has made many exciting options available to beginners and veteran Makers, like this stunning new eSun ePLA Matte Filament. Based on standard PLA, the ePLA Matte filament contains additives that provide a texture finish, hiding layer visibility with a beautiful matte visual impact.
Throw your paint brushes aside, because eSun ePLA Matte Filament was made for aesthetics. This filament is a deep black, easy to peel out of supports and finishes with a smooth and high-quality matte black. We couldn’t wait to share this and the other various pastel-like colours we stock of these ePLA Matte Filaments for you, our DIY Community, to create breath-taking models, cell phone covers, funky stationary, sleek coverings for your DIY Electronics, and more! 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 Matte shares in these features. However, eSun ePLA Matte also improves on printing speed and has a strength close to Polycarbonate Filament, making it harder to break than ABS, but with none of the drawbacks of difficulty and irritating odours while printing.
eSun’s ePLA Matte Filament is certainly unique in its presentation. After fitting your new nozzle, you can expect to be surprised with the delicate feel your prints will result in. Matte surfaces diffuse reflections, trading glossy looks for a frosted over feel, and enhancing detail in the process. The texture and colours available combine in a way that’s reminiscent of macarons. But if you decide to print a few macarons with eSun ePLA Matte Filament, be careful no one mistakenly eats your lifelike Prints!

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 Matte 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.
