I love esun pla+, I do dry all my filaments before using them and store them with large bags of desiccant (I bought it in bulk and use small zipper mesh bags that were sold for fish tank filter media) so I don't really know how it prints out of the box.
What's your hotend temperature?
From what I remember it was 215 first and then 210 other layers. But I tried tweaking when printing and didn't notice a difference. It was like the extruder could not grasp the filament correctly. I even tested with the speed but it kept clicking, its like it couldn't grasp it
That said the yellow was good for the first layer, but then the green was a complete NO. I am now drying the yellow and hope it will print.
I never had to dry filament before. This is the dryest room in my home and we do not live in a "wet air" climate. EU, Belgium. at least not anymore, and not inside. Never had any issues .. except now with this Chinese PLA.
we'll see 🤞
That said I'm using the default profile for the filament from Prusa. Gotten so used to "it just works" I kinda forgot that .. well to tweak more. lol
What temps do you use?
For the eSUN PLA+ I'm using 210°C for all layers and a consistent bed temp of 60°C.
Still using a 0.4 nozzle and a 0.2 layer height.
