[eSUN PLA Filament]

Actually, I have to print black eSun PLA+ at 230-235C in order to get good results. I haven't checked the accuracy of my nozzle temperature yet so there might be an issue there that I'm not aware of.

I've tested eSun pla and it gets soft at the same temp as all the other PLAs - right about 52C.  Hence you want the build plate at 60C.   Strength and flexibility is decent and typical of all other PLAs for sale these days.  I'm sure the 10x claim is versus pure PLA.  Even a 30% stronger PLA would be a big deal.  10X?  Even CF filaments aren't 10X "stronger".  Steel is almost exactly 10X stronger than PLA.

Did you test their regular PLA or their PLA+ (sometimes called Pro)?

How does this PLA compare to eSun's PLA Pro/PLA +?

eSun claims theirs is 10x stronger than regular PLA and suggests printing temperatures of between 205 - 225C which implies this product can withstand slightly higher temperatures than standard PLA.
