eSUN PLA+ HS 1.75mm Filament, Purple

To ensure optimal print quality and prevent issues like stringing or poor layer adhesion, eSUN PLA+ HS filament should be dried at 50-55°C for 6-8 hours. This process helps remove moisture absorption, which can degrade mechanical properties and print consistency, especially during high-speed operations.

For best results with eSUN PLA+ HS, an extruder temperature between 210-230°C and a print bed temperature of 45-60°C are recommended. Printing speeds can range from 50-300 mm/s, depending on your printer's capabilities and part geometry. Adjusting retraction settings is also crucial for minimizing stringing at higher speeds.

eSUN PLA+ HS offers significantly enhanced toughness and impact resistance compared to standard PLA, making it more suitable for functional parts requiring durability. While maintaining PLA's ease of printing, its specialized formulation allows it to retain superior mechanical performance even when printed at very high speeds, unlike many other PLAs.

An enclosed 3D printer is not strictly necessary for eSUN PLA+ HS, as it exhibits low warp characteristics similar to standard PLA. However, an enclosure can help maintain a stable ambient temperature, which can improve layer adhesion and reduce the risk of curling, especially on larger prints or in cooler environments, enhancing overall high-speed print quality.

Poor bed adhesion often stems from an improperly leveled bed, incorrect bed temperature, or a dirty print surface. Ensure your print bed is level and calibrated correctly, set the bed temperature between 45-60°C, and clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol. Using an adhesive like a glue stick or PEI sheet can also significantly improve first-layer adhesion.
