SUNLU PLA
Budget per kilogram, the cheapest here
The cheapest mainstream PLA and the most recommended budget spool by sheer volume of mentions. Sunlu states a ± 0.02 mm tolerance, gives speed-dependent temperature guidance rather than one range, and publishes shrinkage and elongation figures.
It is also the brand with the widest spread of outcomes of any here: burst spools, unanswered damage reports and a near-unprintable matte batch sit beside owners reporting eighty consistent kilograms. Buy it expecting variance, and dry it before anything demanding.
Best at: Price, and the volume of owners who get on fine with it.
Worst at: Consistency, which is a lottery rather than a level.
