Review on 🔥 Enhanced Performance with ERYONE PLA Filament 1: Unleash Your Creativity! by Mike Phillips

Comprehensive reviews: Tips for Prusa printers and why you shouldn't buy this filament.

Review updated with red filament tests (in addition to blue filament). Summary: Tested red and blue filament on Prusa printers. Grips stable at 200°. Print at an angle of 215° or higher. Do not use for small objects or jobs that require frequent break-ins. Rarely jams on large normal prints with thick layer heights (greater than 0.20mm), but this severely limits the printing capabilities of this filament. Worst PLA I've ever used. 1/3 error rate for 0.20mm thick prints, 2/3 error rate for small prints after temperature tower printing. Pay a little more for a Hatchbox (or just get a Prusament) so you don't waste money and time on congestion and crashes caused by the Eryone thread. correct temperature, but this test can be deceiving on this thread. You have to print it higher than you think it will or it will occasionally get stuck on large prints and the first few minutes on smaller prints. On the Prusa MK2S, I had to set the temperature to 220° for large objects, 225° for small objects on the blue wire, and 215°-220° on the red wire to prevent sticking. Printing at an angle of less than 200° kept causing paper jams. Jams: This is the hardest thread I've ever worked on. It jammed hard and required a lot of testing. In terms of volume, most of the prints failed. Do not print multiple objects on the same layout with this thread, as errors are very common. An impression of a small object of 9 pieces, clamped in the first few mm. I've had the most luck with large prints where there wasn't much retraction and the filament flowed out of the nozzle almost constantly. I think that's the only use for this thread. It just isn't good enough to be used for prints with layer heights less than 0.20mm or under heavy feed conditions. If it sticks, it's easily fixed by heating the nozzle to ABS temperature and pushing through the filament. I've had to do this a dozen times. Quality: Thread diameter consistency is also below average. The winding is good and neat (that's why I bought it) but that didn't solve the issues with the material itself. Both colors were very malleable at all temperatures. I bought blue and red Eryone PLA. The issues appear on both colors, so it seems that the entire Eryone PLA line is performing poorly. I recommend Prusament or at least Hatchbox instead of this thread. A few extra bucks on the hatchbox would have saved me a lot of money, not to mention time. Comparison to other threads: I printed the same big and small jobs on Eryone, Hatchbox and Prusament. Absolutely no interference with Hatchbox or Prusament, with Prusament performing slightly better than Hatchbox. This indicates that the issues I was having were not related to the printer itself but to the Eryone Red and Blue filament. Again, I strongly recommend avoiding this thread and buying a hatchbox instead, as the bugs have made this PLA more expensive than its competitors.
