Pros & Cons
Pros
I use a lot of esun filament and this didn’t disappoint. It’s better for the environment but you need to make sure your setup can take it. The filament's dimensional accuracy is truly impressive. It adds that extra touch of finesse to my creations.
Cons
After waiting hours for the print to finish and have it crumble before your eyes i have little confidence in this stuff. It came tangled on the spool. The transition between colours is too massive. When i did manage to print something, it looks grey.
Highlights
Quality
This precision ensures consistent and flawless prints, leaving no room for errors or imperfections.
Good quality smooth and runs really well.
I'm a complete convert and changed all my machines to print purely esun filament now
Once printed this looks very metallic and shines without polishing.
Price
Prints really well, no tangles as i've had with other brands, purchased when on offer (happens regularly) so didn't pay full price!
Packaging/appearance
It comes well packaged, the colour is accurate and it's a breeze to work with.
Particularly suited to vase mode for ornaments that can catch natural movement and spin themselves.
Competitiveness
E-sun is my go to for filament, i have tried many others and there are some other great manufacturers out there, but e-sun is in my top 3.

I must admit i am totally mad for the twotone filaments but if you want consistent quality and no failures esun really is the way to go they are slightly more but you certainly get what you paid for its false economy buying the cheaper brands but with all the print failures costs much more

Not the most economical but one of my favourite pla colours due to its metallic sheen look which you can see in the picture i have shared
