eSUN PETG:
eSUN PETG is easy to print, relatively inexpensive and produces very strong and shock resistant parts.
Due to the strong interlayer bonding and higher flexibility, PETG is a very good option for parts that are likely to endure strain or shock (like a quad copter crash or childrens toys), while still maintaining shape. It's great mechanical properties and ease of printing make PETG the 'go to' material for everyday printing of mechanical objects where impact resistance is required or where ABS warping would be a problem.

eSUN:
Quality matters. eSUN Industrial is an international leader in FDM inovative technologies and their filament is a testament to their dedication to quality and cost-effectiveness.

Diameter Consistency:
It's important that your filament has a very constant diameter if you want to get a great looking print. Variance in filament diameter will result in poor surface quality (primarily on vertical sections), because it produces unwarranted and uncontrollable fluctuations in extrusion rates.

eSUN promises that their filament has a tolerance of ±0.05mm across all of their rolls that they produce, but in reality, the quality of eSUN's filament far exceeds their listed specifications.
One independent reviewer found that the "vast majority" of the eSUN filament they tested in fact had a tolerance of ±0.015mm! Additionally, premium looking prints made with eSUN filaments (like what's found in our gallery) authenticate the claims of many that eSUN produces very consistent filament.
You can be confident that your prints will have fantastic surface uniformity and smoothness with eSUN.
Colours:
A major part of what sparked the popularity in eSUN is the rich and vibrant colours of their filaments. One reviewer comments about eSUN's colours, "looks nice and crisp and bright". The product and gallery photo's do show the colours looking great, but you won't have your taste buds stimulated until you hold a beautifully printed part in your hands.

Not only are eSUN's colours refined individually, but they also have one of the largest ranges available on the market.
Price:
eSUN is renowned for it's 'bang for your buck.' You will be hard pressed to find a better filament for less than double the $/kg of eSUN.
