Description
Blue PLA+ is the dependable all-rounder of the PLA+ line. The classic blue gives prototypes and functional parts a clean, professional look, while the toughened formula produces noticeably stronger, less brittle parts than standard PLA. It keeps the beginner-friendly printing experience — no heated chamber, minimal warping, low odor.
Why choose this filament
- Tougher, less brittle parts than standard PLA
- Classic blue — professional look for prototypes and end-use parts
- Prints as easily as regular PLA
- Batch-tested and vacuum-sealed with desiccant

Printing Tips for PLA+
The toughened formula prints with the same ease as standard PLA but tolerates a wider window. Run 210–220 °C with a 60 °C bed: the higher end of the range improves layer bonding, and better layer bonding is what turns extra toughness into real impact resistance in the finished part. Cooling behaves like PLA — full fan after the first layer, no enclosure required.
- For load-bearing parts use 0.2 mm layers, 3 perimeters and 40–60% infill
- Hold speeds at 40–80 mm/s; the modified polymer prefers a steady, even flow
- Brass nozzles are fine — the material carries no abrasive additives
Storage and Batch Quality
Toughened PLA+ still benefits from dry storage. Keep unopened spools sealed with the supplied desiccant, and if a spool has sat open in humid air for weeks, dry it at 45–50 °C for 4–6 hours before printing. Diameter is measured across the full spool at ±0.02 mm, every batch is 100% mechanically wound and tangle-checked, then vacuum-sealed with desiccant — the same spool-to-spool consistency whether you order 5 kg or 500 kg.
Applications: functional prototypes, brackets and mounts, tool handles, everyday parts that take knocks.
