eSUN ABS+ Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Filament ABS Plus, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05mm, 1KG Spool (2.2 LBS) 3D Printing Filament for 3D Printers, Light Blue

I've used a variety of eSun filaments at this point, mostly PLA and PLA plus, this is the first ABS I've gotten from them and the first ABS I've ever printed with and let me tell you, this company really has their filaments down pat. Everything I've ever printed with eSun filaments has turned out phenomenally. And with this ABS, I truly expected a fight. Its supposed to be more difficult to print with due to warping and all that good stuff, but this ABS+ formula has everything you could desire for the perfect print. Its strong, has a beautiful matte sort of finish that makes it soooo much nicer looking than black PLA, its temperature resistant, AND holy cow is it easy to print with! I ran basically default profiles for everything in Orca and didnt have the slightest problem. Even printing without a brim, raft, or skirts, my first few prints went off without a hitch, which truly surprised me after fighting SOOOO hard with PETG right before this. I will say that ABS is traditionally considered to have some hydroscopic tendencies from what I've read, although not nearly as much a PETG for instance. I can't really say I experienced that with this filament. To be entirely honest, I threw it in the drier before hand anyway. But with PETG it seemed like if I didnt keep the drier cranked on full blast 24/7, it was so wet by the time you came back to print it was basically unprintable (depending on the brand). With this ABS, I forgot to turn the drier on a couple different times and never really saw a huge difference at all. On some layers it would seem to get a little flakey, if that makes sense. Almost as if it weren't laying down in a perfect layer or something. But it was, check out the photos for proof. It truly resulted in nothing but fantastic results on every print despite my observation of the strange flake that seemed to come off some of the solid infill layers as it printed. As I said, I'm rather new to this, so maybe all ABS just does that. I did have to add a brim to one print that warped a bit because it had such a small footprint on the buildplate AND because that side of the plate ended up slightly out of level when I checked it. I re-leveled the bed, added a small brim, and the next print went off without a hitch. Finally, ABS has a reputation for smelling horrid... Though while this filament does give off a faint "burnt plastic" kinda smell after you've been printing it legit all day, to me the smell wasnt potent enough to bother me in the least. Then again, my nose may be screwy, cause I can inhale resin fumes like its going out of style too without the slightest side effect. For the time being at least... lol. (I do use PPE while handling resin, Im just pointing out that my nose doesnt seem to be quite as sensitive to it as other people's does.) For the newbs out there like myself who have never printed in ABS before, I have added my basic slicer settings via screenshot, but if your working in Orca particularly, your basically fine to go with the default ABS profile and the default for your printer and nozzle. I would suggest turning the speed down just a hair, but it prints fine at full speed too! And MAKE SURE your cooling settings are dialed in or you risk cooling too much and causing warpage. Same goes for printing with an enclosure, it is ABSOLUTLE NECESSARY with ABS to avoid warpage. I would also recommend using a PEI plate for great adhesion, personally I used a textured PEI plate and had amazing results with minimal failure. I for one will be purchasing ABS from eSun again in the very near future, and in all honesty, I don't believe I'll go back to printing black in PLA at all unless I just need something with a gloss finish to it. This matte finish on the ABS from eSun is amazing, and I love it, and I want more of it. Haha.

I’ve been using eSUN ABS+ filament for several weeks now, and it’s quickly become my go-to for strong, heat-resistant 3D prints. The 1.75mm diameter is consistent throughout the spool, which helps ensure smooth feeding and reliable extrusion. It prints beautifully with minimal warping, especially when used with a heated bed and enclosed chamber. The layer adhesion is excellent, and the finished parts have a clean, professional look with a solid feel. Whether I’m printing functional prototypes or mechanical components, this filament delivers dependable results every time. What sets this ABS+ apart is its improved toughness and reduced odor compared to standard ABS. It’s easier to work with and produces less shrinkage, which is a huge plus for precision parts. The spool was well-packaged and tangle-free, and I appreciate eSUN’s commitment to quality. If you’re looking for a filament that balances strength, printability, and finish, this ABS+ is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be keeping a few spools on hand for future projects!

I am not new to 3d printing. I have purchased well over 200kg of filament from Amazon (I counted), and many more from other sources like Micro Center, and even direct purchases from manufacturers. Esun ABS+ is the first filament I have had do actual damage to my printer. I was printing with this roll of ABS+ on one of my Creality K1s. I had previously printed a few parts for my voron build, but the filament spool was mostly full when I put it on the printer. When it had been stored, and when I put it in the filament dryer, it was clipped to the spool so it wouldn't go slack. I don't use modified spool holders with ball bearings... I mention this because a few disbelievers think I let the spool go slack and induced the tangle myself... I did not. The prints were going well until the spool was down to about 15% full, and then it encountered a massive tangle.... you can see it in the pictures I uploaded. after taking the picture, I disassembled the snarl, and the over-wrap was 8 strands deep. Anyway, as the printer has been reliable for over 15kg of filament, and since the prints I had run prior to the failed one were all good, I left the printer unattended for a several hour print. Unfortunately, this was the time when the evil unicorn roll of filament attacked. Spool tangles are not common from factories... but they do happen. If a roll slips off the spooling machine while winding, or if the line pauses during a run... or some other failure allows the spool to go slack enough... an overwrap can happen. Tangles are much more likely to be caused by user error... but in this case, it was quite obvious that I hadn't induced this failure. Obviously, I lost the print... not a big deal as prints fail sometimes... but it was worse than that. The K1 extruder has a really positive grab on the filament... and it uses one of the little nema 14 steppers. Rather than grinding the ABS into dust and breaking the filament, it jammed and overheated the motor... it also kinked the ptfe tube and crushed the fittings on the filament runout sensor and extruder. I have never seen so much damage caused by a roll of filament... sure, filament can clog up an expensive nozzle, or jam in other ways... but this cost me over $50 to repair... (new extruder assembly, and a replacement fitting for the filament sensor.) I contacted eSun customer support... and after giving them all the photos and information, they offered to refund 20% of the cost of the roll of filament... They did offer to go up to 40% of the roll (about $7) but that was their final offer. I wasn't trying to get a new printer out of them or something... I didn't figure they would even pay for the repair parts... but taking responsibility for the defective roll, offering an apology and a replacement (not just a discount on a new roll) Needless to say, I won't be purchasing another roll from eSun. Other brands of filament have replaced bad rolls free if they were delivered wet or fragile... Customer service is everything... eSun's customer service is not.

I’ve been using the eSUN ABS+ Filament (1.75mm, Black) for my 3D printing projects, and it has exceeded my expectations. This filament offers excellent dimensional accuracy (+/- 0.05mm) and a smooth printing experience, making it a great choice for both hobbyists and professionals. Pros: • Great Print Quality: The filament produces strong, durable prints with a smooth surface finish and minimal warping compared to standard ABS. • Improved Strength and Toughness: ABS+ offers better impact resistance and layer adhesion, making it ideal for functional parts and prototypes. • Easy to Work With: It prints well at around 230-250°C with a heated bed at 90-110°C. Good bed adhesion using an enclosed printer or an adhesive spray. • Consistent Diameter: The filament feeds smoothly without clogging or inconsistencies, ensuring reliable prints every time. • Affordable Price: Given the quality and performance, it’s a great value for the cost. Cons: • Like all ABS filaments, it has some odor during printing, so proper ventilation is recommended. • Requires fine-tuning for best results, especially with print bed adhesion and enclosure to prevent warping. Overall, the eSUN ABS+ filament is an excellent choice for anyone looking to print strong, heat-resistant, and durable parts. I highly recommend it for makers who need reliability and high performance from their 3D prints.

I had problems with intralayer adhesion with this material, unless I printed in an enclosure. Be patient and use slower speeds. This material doesn't appear to be very strong in flexure, but I would rate its impact resistance and other strength characteristics as very high. As long as you are not using it in roles where it is prone to flexure, I think it should work great. It does put off a higher than average amount of fumes, though. Use in a ventilated area.

I'm reviewing the black eSun ABS+ filament. This is now my most purchased filament. I haven't had any print failures (other than a belt failure which is the fault of my machine). If I print at 240-245, it has a beautiful matte filament. Friends ask specifically for me to print things for them in this filament because of the look and feel. I print a little warmer for layer adhesion, which is fantastic. It's one of the cheapest filaments I purchase, and it's the best all-around material and usually my first choice for a functional part. I have filaments that are stronger, but not as tough or temp resistant. I have tougher filaments, but they aren't as stiff. All of my "performance" filaments cost more than this filament. With ABS, companies can vary the amount of A, B, and S in the material, so everyone's is a bit different. This is a great composition. It does have the styrene smell (the "S" in the name) like ASA and HIPS do, so I don't print when I'm in the same room until I can get my vent system working. If there are "low odor" ASA/ABS varieties, they'd probably have less styrene, and this material has a perfect amount so I'll take this tradeoff. I'm still kind of amazed that this material is such a great all-around material and pretty much the second cheapest filament I buy. I've paid much more money for inferior filaments that were harder to print. I print with a direct extruder onto a smooth PEI spring steel sheet, sometimes covered in magigoo, sometimes without. I print in an actively heated chamber at 45C. I'm not sure how this prints in a passive enclosure or open printer.

This filament is really strange. I've had good luck with some of the colors, and others are absolutely terrible. The purple is sublimely smooth and prints very well. The fire engine red is a beautiful shade of rich red and prints nicely. No clogs or feed problems. Conversely, the "cool white" will not stick to itself, period. It's a very dry and brittle ABS, like they left out some kind of emulsifying agent that lets it flow. I dried it out, set my printer to the maximum nozzle temp for this filament (270C) and maximum plate temp (110C), and it just will not melt and stick to itself very well. While I got a few successful prints, they all have weird random layers that just don't adhere to the one before, and they all crack brutally when they cool because so many layers have poor adhesion to each other. And if you have a complicated design that requires supports that are not on the build plate, forget it... because the "cool white" supports WILL NOT stick to the model, will just fall over and spaghetti, and leave your overhang unsupported, resulting in even more spaghetti. I've wasted so much time and money trying to get the white to work, and it's a lost cause. The only positive to the poor adhesion is that supports are very easy to remove because this stuff will not stick to itself. The other colors aren't bad, but the cool white is just awful.

This is the first ABS I've printed. I used the recommended settings on a Bambu Labs P1S. I am printing some refill spools and was worried about them lifting off. I used heater and blanket to keep the chamber at 120°F and glue stick on a textured PEI plate. I printed off 6 halves and they all stayed on the plate and didn't have any layer separation. I stopped using the blanket and it still worked good. I had to go to work and didn't want to leave the heater going for hours while it wasn't printing, so I printed one without the chamber heater or blanket, just the plate and hot end were heated and it still printed perfect. ABS that prints fairly quickly without lifting or separating. I'm impressed and ordering more. I have a Bento Box and the stock charcoal filter and still had a little bit of smell in the room. I had a fan blowing the air out of the window and it kept the smell down pretty good. I could only notice it right by the printer. I'm really impressed. I have printed a bit of ASA and will have some lifting and layer adhesion issues with it once in a while. No problems with this stuff, and the price is good, too.
