How they differ on the data
eSUN PLA+ runs 5°C hotter on the nozzle (window midpoints 210°C and 215°C), and the two windows share 20°C of range, so one profile can cover both. eSUN ePLA-Matte lists the wider window (40°C against 20°C). Both list the same 45-60°C bed window, so one profile covers both.
Which one for the job
