#which brand should i use for abs part
15 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
i've had good success with sunlu abs, but pretty much any non-abs+ filament should be ok
Also, knowing where you are at would help.
Please go to #rules and select a country role so we can recommend local options.
seller recommended me to use esun abs+ is it alright
no, esun abs+ is awful, quality has really gone downhill, not recommended for voron parts
which seller recommended it?
i bought second hand kit because he said he don't have enough time but he print some part and recommended me this
how do i prepare printing if i got a filament
abs+ filaments are usually blended with additives to make them easier to print and the cost of more brittle parts with bad layer adhesion
What's the different between abs and asa
they're different materials but very similar as far as printability, ime, asa is usually more uv resistant that abs
see here for more details
how do i prepare when printing part . do i need to print all of it .make a check list. or just print when i need the part.
use the voron 2 configurator, answer a few questions and get a zip file of the parts you need
While I'm not buying any more of it (in favour of mostly sunlu), I have two vorons built entirely with eSun ABS+ as well as a bunch of other things from the same spools, and have had no issues with it. I know a lot of people complained about poor layer adhesion and parts cracking along layer lines when used in a warm print chamber, but have had no such problems.
I'm not sure how many complain due to actual bad experience or if it' just repeating other peoples complaints, but whatever the case may be, it's reputation does in no way align with my experience from using half a dozen spools worth of it. Though it does in no way seem "better" than other brands (other than maybe the decent color availability) either.
for me, it was experience of using esun abs+, i used to use it exclusively until around 2 years ago, when the quality rapidly went downhill
iirc, pif providers have also been advised not to use it
those two vorons were built with spools bought about two and one years ago respectively. It might have been some bad batches of specific colors or whatever, who knows.
I'm pretty sure there's not a dedicated eSun filament factory and they just buy stuff from whatever manufacturers they feel like at the time and slap their label on it. And what a lot of brands do to sell stuff cheap is to spend less money/time and quality control, which should increase the risk of large variation in quality even if it often might be perfectly fine.
