ESUN EPLA-LITE-P175FR1 EPLA-LITE 1.75mm FIRE ENGINE RED 1kg content_copy

The ESUN 3D printing filament EPLA-LITE-P175FR1 is a PLA-based filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm and a weight of 1.00 kg per spool. It is available in the color Fire Engine Red and designed for daily use in 3D printing. The ePLA-Lite product line is described as easy to print and well-shapeable, making it suitable for users who value reliable and simple processing. The spool has a diameter of 200 mm, a spool core diameter of 54 mm, and a width of 59 mm, with the core having a width of 53 mm. The empty weight of the spool is 0.182 kg, and the packaging weight is 0.123 kg. The packaging dimensions are 205 mm length, 75 mm width, and 212 mm height.

Applications
This filament is suitable for use in FDM 3D printers that process PLA materials. Due to its good shapeability and easier processing, it is particularly suitable for users who value stable print quality and low error susceptibility. The Fire Engine Red color offers a bright, deep red appearance, ideal for visually appealing printed objects. It is used in private, professional, or industrial environments where PLA is used as a standard material for prototypes, models, or functional parts.

Features and Specifications in Detail
The filament is characterized by high material consistency, resulting in even layers and a clean surface. The recommended printing temperature is between 190 and 230 °C, with the bed temperature ranging from 45 to 60 °C. The recommended printing speed is 40 to 100 mm/s. These parameters enable stable processing and minimize the risk of warping or shrinkage. The material density is 1.23 g/cm³, which is typical for PLA and offers a good balance between strength and weight.

Technology Explained Simply
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a bio-based polymer made from renewable resources such as corn or sugarcane. It is known for high printing accuracy and good surface quality. The ePLA-Lite product is specifically optimized for easy processing, with low warping tendency and good adhesion to the print bed improving print results. The elongation at break is 29.92 %, indicating a certain degree of flexibility, while the flexural strength of 100.27 MPa and flexural modulus of 3824 MPa ensure sufficient stiffness and strength for many applications. The impact toughness of 6.3 kJ/m² shows that the material is resistant to low mechanical stress, although it is not suitable for highly stressed parts.

ePLA-Lite is not suitable for outdoor use or high-temperature environments, as PLA is sensitive to moisture and UV radiation. Therefore, it is primarily used indoors and at room temperature.

Compatibility and Accessories
The filament is compatible with all FDM 3D printers that process PLA materials with a diameter of 1.75 mm. It can be used with standard extruders and heated beds that support the recommended temperatures. No special accessories are required, although using a heated print bed is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion. Using filament moisture absorbers or dryers is advisable to maintain material quality over time.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves placing the spool into the 3D printer’s filament supply mechanism. The spool should be positioned so that it can rotate freely without jamming. Before printing, the print bed must be prepared and the recommended temperatures set. The spool can be easily replaced after use.

Operational Advantages
The filament offers high printing stability, low warping tendency, and a clean surface. Easy processing reduces the number of printing errors and the need for post-processing. The Fire Engine Red color is especially suitable for visually appealing objects. The product comes with a 2-year warranty, indicating its quality and reliability. The material is manufactured in China and meets common quality standards for PLA filaments.
