PLA Filament SUNLU Dimensional Plus Reviews Summary

Print Quality

Pros:

• "This filament gives the exact same print quality as Hatchbox PLA."
• "The layer adhesion is incredibly smooth and the finish is matted which gives a beautiful finish."
• "Worked well out the box on default Prusaslicer settings."
• "This one prints out perfectly, no stringing, adheres well and produces quality prints."
• "It prints beautifully, has a sleek finish, and with a little tweaking, you can get rid of any minor printing imperfections."
• "The quality of my prints look fantastic."
• "No stringing at pretty much any temperature (printed a temp tower from 180-230 and ZERO STRINGS!), very clean prints, great adhesion, and consistent color."

Cons:

• "The problem with these is that they don’t come out the same color after printing, they are slightly lighter."
• "The colors are also inconsistent and don't give a smooth finish like other brands of pla."
• "It would produce inconsistent layers and will crack easily."
• "The prints quality was poor. Regardless of profile settings, prints lacked precision and finish I've achieved with other PLA+ filaments."
• "But any detailed prints came out very stringy."
• "The filament is great, but the fact that it was wound so horribly meant that prints cant finish if you arent baby sitting them."
• "Have tried every recommended setting for this filament and every setting either doesn't stick to the build plate or has awful layer lines."

Color and Finish

• "Nice white bright color satin finish."
• "The surface finish is beautiful and smooth."

Cons:

• "The colors are practically pastels - nothing like the vibrant colors in the photo here."
• "But for strong colors it comes really faded."
• "It appears much paler in real life than in the product listing."
• "Not to mention cherry red is apparently an off red if you're looking for normal red don't buy this."
• "The finish on the gold was simply not as advertised."
