Review on 🖨️ ESUN One Additive Manufacturing Products by Seth Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It took me some time and sanity.

This white ABS filament seems strange to me. It has an odd, chalky texture and feels brittle when printed. For example, print an object with borders, hold the borders and crumple them up. It breaks and crumbles, not just bends and bends. The reason I'm writing this review is that I started printing a large article today. In total, the work took about 5.5 hours. I started work in the morning before I went to work as I use OctoPrint to remotely control my printer. About an hour into the work I noticed that after the first layer and about halfway to the second, the filament stopped extruding. I assumed the printhead was stuck (which is odd for me as this would be my first time), so I canceled the order and got back to work (hey, I've got SOMETHING to do at work). When I went home for lunch to inspect the printer, I noticed that the filament was being pulled out of the print head. I examined the thread path and immediately noticed that I could no longer pull the thread out of the spool when pulling. On closer inspection of the coil, it became clear that the coil has a transverse stroke. Somehow my spool of thread ended up under another loop a few feet from the spool. Only a human could have done that, IMHO, so I'm guessing a helpful guy at eSun unwound a spool on it, so fixed the filament under another loop and then rolled and sealed the end of the remaining filament. over him. Now I have to wait until the evening when I get home to set up the printer again. So I'm not sure if there isn't another thread holder somewhere further down the spool? This, in addition to the product's odd texture mentioned above, makes me think I will avoid this brand in the future.

Pros
  • eSUN ABS 3D printer filament vacuum and sealed with desiccant
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
