<p>Temp Towers for ESUN Filaments:</p><ul><li>ESUN&nbsp;<a href="https://www.esun3d.net/Products/PLA">Clear PLA</a></li><li>ESUN&nbsp;<a href="https://www.esun3d.net/Products/P-L-A">PLA+</a></li><li>ESUN&nbsp;<a href="https://www.esun3d.net/Products/ePLA-ST">ePLA-ST</a></li></ul><p>The temp starts at the base temp recommended by ESUN and works up to the maximum temp recommended by ESUN. I recommend creating a new filament profile for each of the ESUN filaments you are using based on the Prusa ESUN PLA profile and modify the first layer temp to the recommendations below, then print the test tower, select the best temp based on stringing and bridge performance then set your “other layers” temp to the one you selected based on your temp tower.</p><ul><li>ESUN Clear PLA v2 (the clear PLA doesn't seem to like 190)&nbsp;<ul><li>Temp Increments: 195,197,200,203,205,207,210,213,215</li><li>Set first layer temp for filament profile to: 205.</li></ul></li><li>ESUN&nbsp;PLA+ v2<ul><li>Temp Increments: 210,213,215,217,220,223,225,227,230</li><li>Set first layer temp for filament profile to: 220</li></ul></li><li>ESUN&nbsp;ePLA-ST<ul><li>Important note: My box of ePLA-ST shipped with a label indicating 190-210C - this is completely wrong and will block your nozzle - the website lists the correct temps 210-230C<ul><li>Temp Increments: 210,213,215,217,220,223,225,227,230</li><li>Set first layer temp for filament profile to: 230.</li><li>The best temp I found was 223</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><p>I've been super happy with these filaments, I've tried a bunch and it's been very hard to find one that consistently works well but can still be obtained at a good price in Australia. So far I've found ESUN to be the best out of what's locally available, it performs as well as my Prusa filaments but costs about ¼ of the price. More reliable than Hobbyking PETG from what I've experienced the PLA+ and especially the PLA-ST seem to also be more durable.</p><p>Thanks, <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/23644-tronnic">Tronnic</a> for the original tower.</p><p>Post your findings in the comments.</p>
