eSUN 3D 1.75mm Solid Blue PETG 3D Printer Filament 1KG Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1.75mm Solid Opaque Blue

Absolutely love this filament! eSun has been a go to for me many times. First let's get to my settings since I know that is the thing everyone wants to know if they get a new filament, then I'll give my review:Nozzle Temp: 238CBed Temp: 65CSpeed: 40mm/secRetraction: 1.5mm (DirectDrive and All Metal)Surface/Prep: Carbon Borosilicate glass w/Glue StickSo I love printing PETG. It is actually my favorite material and I know many have issues with it but the more you practice the better you get. My PETG work nowadays comes out as nice as my PLA if not better but it is MUCH more durable and heat resistant. I use PETG for anything structural or functional. I would use it for figurines too if I could but small details are just much more restricted due to PETG "stickiness".This filament is for a filament storage system I am making. I had purchased a roll of Inland white PETG because I live local to a MC and could get it fast. However I have not been able to find more in well ovr a month and needed to finish this project so wanted something that would match. I had seen before eSun was the manufacturer that made Inland and I had used eSun before so I assumed it would be the same so I bought Solid Opaque White. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!! This filament got dropped at my door and was on my printer within 5 mins. Knocked out a holder in 7.5 hrs. It prints smooth, almost ZERO stringing, fantastic layer adhesion, and has a sheen finish that is AMAZING!! I do not print fast, I print for best appearance and don't rush. The eSun paperwork said 245C and 85C on the bed for best results. I ignored this and started at my Inland settings. I had to up the temp 3 degrees to get the smoothest print but that is all. If you want to go faster, you'll prolly need more heat but slower = smoother so I'm sticking to it. I print on glue stick and had ZERO issues getting this to stick at 65C and 15 mind after the print finished you start hearing popping and it eventually releases itself. If your right by the printer you will smell the filament a tiny bit but if your weird like me you'll like it!!In conclusion I just have nothing negative to say about this filament. A truely great PETG, strong, smooth, and just what I had hoped for. It matched the Inland I have been using for the first 1/3 of this project but just prints a little nicer, so it is getting me out of a bind!! I have another roll of eSun "Glass Purple" PETG coming in 4 days for another project (Making custom spools). Hope this helps a few of you and Happy Printing.

After a year of PLA as my go-to filament, I'm a PETG convert. This stuff is stronger than PLA and significantly more shatter resistant, has no dangerous fumes like ABS and isn't as susceptible to degradation from sun, heat and water as PLA is. It's just great stuff.After a disastrous first experience with PETG 8 or 9 months ago (with a different brand), I had pretty much given up on it. It clogged my nozzle and I couldn't get a successful print no matter what I did. I decided to revisit PETG after my son kept raving about it and he recommended the eSUN brand. This time I researched a lot and followed my son's tips.I have a Monoprice Maker Select that I have added an all-metal hot end to. The all-metal hot end is extremely helpful when printing with PETG. I have a glass bed and I'm using hairspray for adhesion and it works great.So when researching, you will find all sorts of tips that seem to contradict each other. I can only outline what works for me with my printer set-up. You will most definitely have to do some tweaking (maybe a lot) to get the exact settings you need to print perfectly with PETG. Once you do, this stuff is fantastic to print with.I print at 230C with a heated bed at 70C. I print fairly slowly - no faster than 55mm/s and usually at between 30 and 40. I have turned retraction off completely and I have decreased my flow rate to 85%. I have mine set to 30% fill overlap to avoid underextrusion. Most importantly, I've found that the first layer does not need to be squished like it does with PLA. In fact, the filament will ball up around the nozzle if the nozzle is too close to the print bed so I have adjusted my bed leveling and first layer height accordingly. I do use my fan, although many people suggest not using any fan. I also re-tuned the extruder PID for the hotter temp and it makes a big difference.Again, your printer, with whatever modifications you may have done, will likely require some tweaking of the settings but it's worth it. PETG is just so far superior to PLA and once you get the setting right, it's very easy to print with. When you get the temp right, it's kind of glossy and just really pretty.This green is a gorgeous, emerald green that if printed at the proper temp, is somewhat transparent.

Hoo boy.... I wanted to leave two stars on this back when I bought it. I could not get prints to stick on the build plate to save my life. After some thorough Internet research, much experimenting, and countless failed prints, I can say along with other reviewers that if you take the time to dial this stuff in, it does print very nicely and parts are noticeably tougher than parts printed from PLA.I'll share my setup in hopes it helps someone: I'm using a FlashForge Finder, which does NOT have a heated bed. I run my extruder at about 245 degrees Celsius (The Finder struggles to hold that and eventually goes to an actual temp of 240, however). My first layer height is usually .35mm, and subsequent layers are between .25mm and .3mm. I am using the slicer software that came with the printer. For my build plate, I use 6 inch wide painter's tape, and apply purple disappearing glue before starting a print.My printer is kept in a bedroom which I keep a space heater in to try and control the ambient temperature. I further utilize a heat radiating lamp that is clamped to the side of the printer to help regulate the temperature for large parts. For small parts with finer features, I use three 120mm fans that hang from the front and sides of the printer from brackets that I designed and printed myself for part cooling.Since I don't have ways to control temperature via programming and have to control the equipment myself, I still botch an occasional print, usually when I walk away and get sidetracked, forgetting to come back and check on the printer. But many of the parts I print now come out looking great and are very durable!I have a lot of PLA to use up but once I free up some space in my dedicated spool storage box, I intend to pick up more of this stuff in different colors.

Muy buen color y el grosor es constante, lo que simplifica la Impresión.

La descripcion del producto era Verde Translucido y recibí un Verde Solido, la calidad de filamento es muy buena pero espero no se equivoquen con este tipo de detalles en un futuro.

Filament sympathique à imprimer. Un effet brillant que j'aime bien.

Spoel nog gesloten gewogen en komt op 1.289 kg i.p.v. de verwachte 1.55 kg.Dus meer dan 0.2 kg te weinig geleverd.Niet volgens verwachting !!

I used this filament to make a PIGRRL 2, and could not be more happy. It was easy to print with (I used hairspray to solve some early bed adhesion issues), and the quality was great.To achieve maximum transparency I printed the parts at 20 micron layer height, and used only 2 floor layers and 0 roof layers. The 20% grid infill gave the model a cool pattern and enough strength.
