Aliexpress filament

JRJ · Friday at 14:17

I keep getting adverts for eSun/Jayo/Sunlu filaments being sold on AliExpress at considerable reductions to Amazon, any feedback on buying from there? I've always associated AliExpress with copies/lower grade items but the prices seem tempting.

I've found it to be not actually that much cheaper. Most rolls seem to be 0.5kg rather than 1 so it looks really cheap on first sight.

I did notice that, and also lots of bundles of 5 x 250g but there are full 1kg reels and lower prices.

Esun/jayo/sunlu are all good filaments, Jayo is just another brand of one of sunlu and esun but I can't recall which. Whether they are cheaper or not will depend. I usually get any of those on ebay at about £11 a kilo

We got Sunlu stuff for what worked out about £8 a kilo roll, really good stuff so we bought another 15 rolls lol.
