Hi All,
Looking at grabbing a couple spools of PLA+ filament for my ender 3 v2.
Tossing up between 3D fillies, which seems to get mixed reviews (good when it’s good, horrible after sale support if you have issues though) or eSun…
Anyone here have experience with 3D fillies recently? Or have any other recommendations?
Cheers
Jason
Cool, I do already have some eSun pla+ in black. Have only printed a temp tower with it so far, 210ish seems to be about right for me.
Maybe I’ll just stick with eSun for now, grab a couple extra rolls off eBay.
I just buy whatever is on special. My last purchase was the 10kg of Creality Ender filament, great deal, filament isn't bad either imo. Does just fine.
Either or
I mainly use esun but never had problems with 3dfillies
avoid Aurarum like the plague if it gets suggested, constant constant quality control issues and horrific Customer service.
Thanks. Yeh it seems 3D fillies is good usually, but if you do have problems the support is horrible… haven’t seen anyone say “they handled my support request really well”…
Couldn't agree more on Aurarum, so much variance between batches and zero customer service.
Despite their claims of "Australian made" I'm sure it's just cheap Chinese crap, I've ordered 5+ rolls and the spools themselves are all different. How could that be?
Also, the email address I use exclusively for them now gets spam.
Can't go wrong with eSun
eSun PLA+. You can pick it up from Jaycar if you have one near you.
I tried 3dfilles before - no major complains with the filament but the print using eSun seems to be much nicer. I stopped using 3dfilles since and only uses eSun since.
Cubitech has free shipping if you buy more than $150. I find this is more economical rather than buying individual spools - which is a lot more costlier.
Cheers will check them out.
I've used 3D fillies filaments pretty heavily with my Prusa Mk3S + MMU2S. (Along with Prusament PLA & PetG, Fillamentium CPE, and have a roll of Esun PLA in a colour 3D fillies don't have)
Printing in multicolour means I keep quite the range of filaments on hand. (At the moment I have all 11 different PLA+ Silk filament colours, and 19 of their PLA+ colours)
I've found they print quite well with the MMU2. (I've actually just finished off some of my original rolls that are 4 years old in some of my less used colours, they've just been stored in a snaplock bag in the box and were still fine for printing)
I've also used their PLA+ Marble and some of their PETG filaments which have printed fine.
Customer support wise I haven't had any issues with them in a few years. In that case they had accidentally sent a wrong filament. As soon as I let them know they let me keep it and sent the correct roll in that days postage.
They have free shipping when you spend $140 or more. (I actually just got 5 more rolls of filament from them today - Black, White, Dark Blue PLA+, Black Silk, White Silk)
At one point 3 years ago I did an order of like 3 rolls one night and realised the next morning I needed a couple more so emailed them and was able to add the extra rolls to get them in the same order and make it the free shipping and still had it sent out that day
Interesting to hear, obviously you normally hear more from people with complaints than people with praise. So good to see something from the other side now.
Now i dunno which way to go hah
Used 3dfillies about 6 to 8 months ago top filament e sun just as good lately been purchasing from Amazon now and then specials come by (overture,flashforge and just recent voxelab pla/+ decent prints just have to raise temps a bit higher compared to 3d fillies 215/60 where with Amazon's 225/65.
Noticed bit of stringiness from flashforge and from voxelab noticed it to be on the petg side of hardness compared to 3dfillies pla+ more soft and warps easily out in warmer environment compared to Amazon's filaments.
Esun from cubitech was good recently purchased 2 rolls from inkstation glow pla and black petg disappointed even though they came sealed black petg was stringy as and Glo pla was hard as just snaps so easily even after having in Sunlu dryer box for a few days still rubbish.
Trying to go back to 3dfillies but keep getting caught up on the Amazon petg/pla sales. :/
Also Amazon tpu overture is great nice and flexible easy to print. :)

Any links to the Amazon ones you like?
Thank you
Haven't used 3D Fillies but have an Ender 3 V2 and have used eSun PLA, PLA+, PETG, Luminous PLA and Rainbow Silk PLA. (I also have a roll of TPU I haven't opened yet)
I originally got their PLA+ just because its available at a good price in Aus and because there's a good selection of colours.
It prints fine, stringing may take a bit of tuning. Try dropping temps to below recommended but keep an eye out for extruder skipping. That gave me best results. Cura has a profile for it out of the box which might get you most of the way there, I never tried it…
