eSUN PLA Basic Filament 1.75mm Light Grey, 1KG Spool (2.2 LBS)

This PLA filament has been solid for everyday printing. It feeds smoothly, sticks well to the build plate, and produces clean prints with good detail. I’ve run it through both my Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo and FlashForge AD5M without any issues like clogging or inconsistent extrusion. Layer adhesion is good, and I didn’t have to do much tuning to get decent results. It prints well at standard PLA temps and doesn’t string too badly if your settings are dialed in. The spool was also wound neatly, which helps avoid tangles mid-print. Color looks accurate to what’s advertised, and the finish comes out smooth on most prints. For basic parts, prototypes, or general use, it does exactly what you’d expect from PLA.

Great color and prints great, no issues.

This is actually a very beautiful, almost blood-red colored, PLA filament. While other brands like Creality have a really beautiful bright red, eSun also has this beautiful dark red. Sometimes it's hard to find that perfect shade of color you're looking for... If you want something that is on the darker side of red, this is your filament to grab! The only down side to this filament is that eSun still uses cardboard spools, and yes, they still get warped in the packing process, and will suffer the fate of bent spool walls. Although the edges of this spool were closed and sealed, and I didn't see any potential issues with using them in my AMS, I always tend to distrust cardboard spools, and will always tend to respool them to a plastic spool if I have a blank spare on hand. I re-spooled this onto a plastic spool. I also didn't like the appearance of the filament near the center of the spool. The filament was very wavy and not uniform in shape. Filament was dried immediately after arrival, and showed no issues during printing that were abnormal. When I ran this filament thru my BIQU filament scanner it came out with a TD of ~ 3.0 and a HEX color code of 361A21. I tested several spots along the spool, and all read pretty much the same with very minor variation. For all the issues with the cardboard spool that were seen in my experience, I'd give this filament an 8.7/10. Sure, it has some issues with how they pack it, but I'd still highly recommend it to anyone just for the color and ease of printing alone. Once you get the good filament off the cardboard spool, everything is headed towards the positive.

I’ve been using eSUN PLA Basic for a variety of prints, and overall I’m impressed with its consistency and ease of use. The filament feeds smoothly, with minimal clogging or stringing even on longer prints. It prints well across a range of temperatures, and the layers bond nicely with good overall surface finish straight off the printer. Come is the standard 1.75mm size, which was true to form. The color quality and opacity are solid, and spools are well wound with no tangles. For standard prototypes, functional prints, or decorative pieces, this PLA delivers reliable results at a very reasonable price point. It’s not specialty filament—so if you need super-high strength, flexible materials, or advanced properties, other products would be better suited—but for everyday PLA printing, this is a dependable choice. Highly recommended for hobbyists and beginners alike.

Seems like a good quality for price. Prints turn out great

eSUN has always been great for me. It comes well packaged and never seems to snag. The prints are beautiful and the colors are awesome. I can't recommend this brand enough.

For reference I have an A1. It prints well- never had a clogging or adhesion issue. Nice bright white. Not sure why but layer lines are much more visible with this filament than my other white filaments at the same layer height. It’s not my favorite. It also is a little less crisp in the details which could honestly be a tuning issue on my end. But I do use it and keep it in stock for when I need a very opaque white color.

My son has used this filament almost exclusively for the past six months while working on a life sized Five Nights at Freddy’s cosplay. It’s been reliable through countless hours of printing with consistent results and very few issues. It adheres well to the tray, is wound neatly to avoid tangling, and is always packaged well. We specifically chose white because it makes painting the finished pieces much easier. The filament takes paint well and has been a great base for creating custom colors and details. If you’re printing props, cosplay pieces, or anything you plan to paint, this has been an excellent choice. We’ll definitely be ordering more.
