Is eSun filament good?

eSUN, in this consensus, is a budget and midrange brand people already know, with PLA+ as the spool they name. Batch variability is the caveat in the summary. A bad print is still checked the same way as any other spool. Filament quality is those signs. Budget filament is the wider name list.

The three rows

The brand in the catalog is eSUN 3D. PLA+ lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F). PETG lists 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and 70–90 °C (158–194 °F). ABS+ lists 230–260 °C (446–500 °F) and 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Drying is not stored on these three. eSUN also sells other PLA products in the catalog. PLA-Lite lists a nozzle of 220 °C (428 °F) and a bed of 60 °C (140 °F), and the record does not define Lite. PLA+, PETG, and ABS are the material hubs. PLA versus PLA+ is the plus question. ABS printing already includes this ABS+ row.

The brand website is the manufacturer record. The temperatures above are the Open Filament Database cells. This page does not claim the homepage states those ranges.

What the comments say

A comment on r/FixMyPrint ufz2cr says the author uses eSUN regularly and the pictured failure looks like calibration, and points at the Teaching Tech guide for e-steps, flow, and the first layer. A later comment on that thread asks whether a raft was needed. The raft line is not a filament grade.

A comment on r/FixMyPrint 1ed1iu2 says slowing down can help ABS layer adhesion. Another comment says layer adhesion trouble is known with SUN ABS+, then describes that person's own Voron parts at 40% infill, 5 top and bottom layers, 4 perimeters, and 250 °C (482 °F). That 250 °C (482 °F) sits inside the eSUN ABS+ nozzle range of 230–260 °C (446–500 °F) and is still one person's print. It is not the PLA+ row, which tops out at 230 °C (446 °F).

r/BambuLab 1amusks, r/prusa3d 1b68t3t, and r/FixMyPrint v7wvni are in the bank. The supplied excerpts do not include a temperature from those three threads.
