    Do you want to 3D Print with PLA & still want higher flexibility, impact strength & easy to remove supports? Please welcome the new esun PLA plus! As easy to print as PLA & yet highly functional, PLA+ is the future of PLA. This is the eSun Cold White filament. ESun offer a very accurate & well respected PLA 3d printing filament that has taken the world by storm. PLA is naturally sourced, compostible & bio-degradable. It is the easiest material to 3d print. In the past, if you wanted functionality (but didn't need high temperature resistance), you still had to use other alternatives like PetG / ABS which were harder to work with. Now you can 3d print with the ease of PLA while getting many functional advantages & yet be eco-friendly thanks to eSun PLA plus! We are Authorised Reseller of eSun & our PLA+ 3d printer filament is stocked right here in NZ so we can bring our kiwi 3d customers great quality BRANDED pla filament for a superb price. A quick note about printing eSun PLA+ - In our experience it works best slightly hotter than standard PLA, at around the 210-220C mark. For eg, if you print PLA between 190-200C usually (like we do), then its recommended you go to 210-220C for PLA plus. Of course there are a lot of factors around 3d printing extruder temperature, but start at 210C & see how you.

  • Esun Pure PolyCarbonate Filament from 3D Printer Store

    Poly-Carbonate is commonly referred to as just PC is one of the most capable Functional Polymers in the world. What is 'Pure' PC ? PC is the King of cost-effective engineering thermoplastics - High Temperature resistance, UV stability & Flame Retarding.

    Flame retardant level: UL94:V2 Print temperature range: 235~260℃;

    Each Esun spool is 0.5Kg in 1.75mm Pure PC handles a whooping 140C continuous operating temperature - only to be beaten by PEI / PEEK ABS will only handle 85C in most continuous high temperature applications. You can boil water in pure PC but you cant if its ABS blended. Pure PC is thus common in food containers as it can handle everything. The vast majority of PolyCarb 3D Filament used is mixed with ABS & thus called ABS-PC. While ABS blended PC is slightly better than ABS, it loses the biggest benefits of PC 3D Printing PC has some challenges but it is very easy to get right. Heat the bed as hot as your machine supports, ideally 110C +. Use a PEI sheet for bed adhesion. Please see our popular 300x300 PEI sheets here. Using active chamber heating is highly recommend as PC warps a lot. Note: PC Fumes have a strong odour. We recommend you use PC only with an enclosed 3d printer. If you must use an open frame unit, please setup extraction or at least have very good active ventilation. For frequent Polycarbonate 3d printing, consider a machine with active chamber filters, like our Creatbot F430

    PLA+ HS is the new version of the PLA+ you love, now with High Speed 3d printing capability! Get the higher flexibility, impact strength & easy to remove supports that you like about PLA+, not with any 3d printer including Bambu labs, Creality K1, Phrozen Arco etc. As easy to print as standard PLA+ & yet highly functional, PLA+HS is the future of PLA. Fast printing requires materials that can melt and cool quickly. However, to balance the speed of material melting and cooling, the physical properties of materials printed at fast speeds usually declines. In order to provide 3D printed products with superior mechanical performance despite being printed fast, Esun has developed an upgraded formulation of PLA+ called ePLA+HS is specifically designed to match high-speed printing and offers enhanced toughness. It continues to work perfectly on all 3D Printers so you can 3d print with thicker nozzles more easily. This will mean faster 3d printing for everyone, & not just for a Bambu or a K1. PLA is naturally sourced, compostible & bio-degradable. It is the easiest material to 3d print. Our range of eSun PLA+HS colours is growing everyday. This is the eSun solid Black.

  • This is a Tri-colour filament, it literally means the filament strand is composed of 3 simultaneous colours to form the cross-section. The filament is 3-sided. Esun calls it Mystic Silk PLA, & it comes in a few colour options. Silk PLA gives true metallic shine to it without having to polish it or post-process it. With tri colour silk filament, the object gets a colour & texture you would not be able to make with any other technology, & painting it or coating it in such a way would be an outright headache. 3d printing with dual-colour & tri-colour filaments is a lot of fun, especially for art pieces, kids toys, or school projects. Its the closest we've ever come to a PLA that actually shines like a real metal without having any metal in it. The shine also hides the print layer lines to a greater extent than other colours. This is the same material as the Esun Silk metal colours - imagine multiple filament strands fused into 1.
