Difference between PLA (Verbatim) and PLA (eSun)?

Hi! (I am new to Lulzbot Mini not 3D printing).

I would like to know what the difference there is between the different (for example) PLA material?

I tried to look into the Cura installation 20.01 and can not find the difference between (for example)
PLA (Verbatim) and PLA (eSun).

So in short what is the different characteristics parameters between the different PLAs?

Regards.

After you open a profile, switch to “full settings” from the expert menu to see all of the individual parameters. Accept the prompt to copy the profile settings that pops up.

Hi!

I did as Steve suggested and I still can not see any difference between the PLA Verbatim and PLA eSun!
Look at screenshots I made … So what it the difference and where can I find it?

Verbatim



eSun

There are no differences between those two configs, at least for the standard quality profile.

eSun

No difference in profile, but a massive difference in quality. eSun has had tolerance problems for a long time - I use their HIPS to print boxes for my board game parts, and for that it’s fine (especially at the close out price!), but I’ve given up on it for everything else. I’ve heard similar tolerance problems with their PLA too.

anyone know of any 3rd party manufacturers? looking to keep some extras and different sizes on hand.

I usually buy PLA filaments from Innofil3D web shop. Actually I have used PLA filament while I was doing a project in my college. And the college provided PLA filaments of this company. It was nice experience at that time. It was a small project related to the toys and I completed it successfully.
