eSUN PLA+ 5kg FAQ
Q: Do I need a special spool holder for 5kg spools?
A: Yes, 5kg spools are larger and heavier than standard 1kg spools. You may need a reinforced spool holder or mount that can support the extra weight.
Q: How much filament length is in a 5kg spool?
A: Approximately 1,650 meters (5x the ~330m in a 1kg spool), depending on exact material density.
Q: Will the filament stay fresh throughout the entire spool?
A: Store the spool properly in a dry environment or dry box. For long-term use, consider a filament dryer to maintain optimal moisture levels.
