Pros & Cons
Pros
Installing on a used reel was simple 2-bolt operation. The esun refills are easy to use with the esun clear two part reels, just a couple of nuts & bolts to remove/replace and you are good to go once you pull the straps.
The quality of the material is excellent and i like the silver like color. The only downside currently is the lack of variety in refill colour/type. I personally prefer the natural pla over cool white and i really hope the suppliers will begin to offe... Read More
Ran it in both my prusa mk3s and prusa mini and the results were consistently reliable, beautiful prints. It's still stringy and the print quality is not quite as good as i would like but this stuff is strong. Easy to print with and less brittle than ... Read More
Cons
This filament is defective. Do yourself a favor and go buy hatchbox, prusament, atomic pla, anything other than this forsaken brand. Three of five rolls are wound incorrectly and don’t fit on the esun spool correctly. I was using mid-temp of the sugge... Read More

Quality
It prints well and is super durable.
It is the most consistent it prints in a variety of settings and is the smoothest outcome.

Spools come apart easily and refill slides right on!
Price
I also appreciate that the refill roll comes at a reduced price.
I love the gray pla pro (pla+) and am happy to report that the "refill" is a viable option that can save you some money.
If you have the old ones, this can save a dollar or two, though waiting for a sale is a better bet.
For the price difference it is a million times better.
Packaging/appearance
They are obviously now making it in different places as can be seen by the packaging and quality now has definitely suffered.
Competitiveness
Now these are impossible to find, but the pla is the same great quality.
For me, this is my favorite premium filament a price that's better than hatchbox, plus with less plastic waste (the spools).
I have had numerous problems with the refill products offered by esun especially the grey.
Is that e-sun spools are 2 piece, bolted together, instead of the normal 1 piece spools most companies use.

It does not absorb water it does not become brittle it holds up to heat better its stronger it prints better almost never clogs has a great finish and doesnt waste as much plastic by using reusable spools

Each roll comes vacuum packed with desiccant so theyre good for long term storage until you need it

My box came with 1 esun espool but apparently the vendor says that shouldnt be expected so buy at your own risk

Then mount the spool wherever or however you want start feeding the filament in and cut the bundling straps as you go

The review is for the filament itself a reliable product if a bit unwieldy now that esun no longer sell their rolls on separable spools
