Review on SUNLU PLA Filament: Premium 3D Printer Additive Manufacturing Products by Josh Parson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Would give zero stars if I could. Nice look, but that's about it. I will not buy again.

Over the past few weeks I have purchased and used about 8 different colors and brands of 1.75mm PLA Filament. This brand is the worst I have ever used. The adhesion of the building plate is okay, but the internal strength of the models leaves something to be desired. I know it's not a design issue because I can print the exact same g-code with a different filament and get great results while this one is weak and breaks much more easily. I've tried different temperatures and nothing special, but 200 degrees worked slightly better than 190. More thread, more shrinkage and just not great results. There are better brands. get these Update - I tried to "use up" it by printing little trinkets for some kids. The line is so badly wound on the spool that it catches and ruins the print. Luckily it didn't seem to ruin my printer but I'm about to throw away over 50% of it (I bought 2 spools in 2 different colors and both were terrible).

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
