1. Introduction to eSUN PLA+ Filament
eSUN PLA+ is an advanced version of standard PLA filament, engineered for superior performance in 3D printing. It offers significantly higher strength and improved toughness, making printed objects more durable and less prone to breakage. This filament is characterized by its low shrinkage, resistance to deformation and cracking, and high printing precision, ensuring reliable and high-quality results.

This image illustrates the improved elongation at break for eSUN PLA+ (20%) versus ordinary PLA (11.8%), indicating better flexibility and less brittleness.
2.2 High Dimensional Accuracy
eSUN PLA+ filaments are manufactured with precise specifications, ensuring a minimum tolerance of +/- 0.03mm. This precision contributes to consistent feeding, stable prints, and a very high successful print rate, with reduced issues like bubbles or excessive stringing.
2.3 Smooth Feeding and Anti-Clogging
The filament is designed for optimal flow, melting well and feeding smoothly and constantly without clogging the nozzle or extruder. The spool features perfect roundness and very tight diameter tolerance, with good winding that prevents overlapping or tangling.
3. Setup u Preparazzjoni
3.1 Unpacking and Loading the Filament
Carefully remove the filament spool from its vacuum-sealed packaging. Ensure the filament end is secured to prevent unwinding. Load the filament onto your 3D printer's spool holder according to your printer's specific instructions. Guide the filament through the extruder path until it is properly seated and ready for printing.
The eSUN PLA+ filament comes in environmentally friendly cardboard spool packaging, which is lightweight and recyclable.
eSUN uses two types of spools for its PLA+ filament, a black plastic spool and a cardboard spool, which are shipped randomly.

5. Manutenzjoni u Ħażna
Proper maintenance and storage are crucial for preserving the quality and performance of your eSUN PLA+ filament. PLA+ is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which can lead to degraded print quality, bubbling, and stringing.
5.1 Rakkomandazzjonijiet għall-Ħażna
- Żomm Niexef: Always store unused filament in a dry, cool place.
- Sealed Container: Use the original vacuum-sealed bag or an airtight container with desiccant packets to protect the filament from humidity.
- Evita dawl tax-xemx dirett: Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent material degradation.
5.2 Drying Filament
If you notice signs of moisture absorption (e.g., popping sounds during extrusion, excessive stringing, or brittle filament), it is recommended to dry the filament. This can be done using a dedicated filament dryer, a food dehydrator, or a conventional oven at a low temperature (e.g., 45-50°C for 4-6 hours).
6. Issolvi l-Problemi ta' Kwistjonijiet Komuni tal-Istampar
While eSUN PLA+ is designed for ease of use, occasional printing issues may arise. Here are some common problems and their potential solutions:
6.1 Poor Bed Adhesion
- Clean Print Surface: Ensure your print bed is clean and free of dust, oils, or residues.
- Temperatura tas-Sodda: Verify the bed temperature is within the recommended range of 45-60°C.
- Invellar: Re-level your print bed to ensure proper nozzle-to-bed distance.
- Adhesive Aids: Consider using an adhesive aid like a glue stick, hairspray, or PEI sheet for improved adhesion.
6.2 Imblukkar jew Estrużjoni Insuffiċjenti
- Temperatura taż-żennuna: Increase the nozzle temperature slightly within the recommended 210-230°C range.
- Mogħdija tal-Filament: Check for any obstructions in the filament path from the spool to the nozzle.
- Umdità: Dry your filament as described in the Maintenance section.
- Nozzle Condition: A worn or partially clogged nozzle may need cleaning or replacement.
6.3 Stringing or Oozing
- Issettjar tar-Rtirar: Adjust your printer's retraction distance and speed in your slicer software.
- Temperatura taż-żennuna: Decrease the nozzle temperature in small increments.
- Umdità: Ensure your filament is dry.
