Product Information
Full details
The Elegoo PLA+ Filament is designed for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals who require high-dimensional accuracy and reliable structural integrity in their prints. This 1.75mm black filament excels at minimizing warpage and shrinkage while offering superior layer adhesion, making it ideal for detailed models and functional parts. While it is highly compatible with most FDM printers, users should ensure their printer settings are tuned for the increased strength and flow characteristics typical of PLA+ compared to standard PLA.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between PLA and PLA+?
PLA+ is formulated with additives that improve impact resistance, layer adhesion, and surface finish, making it stronger and more durable than standard PLA.
Is this filament compatible with all FDM printers?
It is compatible with any FDM 3D printer that uses 1.75mm diameter filament and has a compatible build surface.
Does the paper spool hold up during long prints?
Yes, the cardboard spool is designed for structural durability and can withstand the mechanical stress of rotating on a spool holder throughout the duration of a 1kg print.
What are the recommended temperature settings?
While settings vary by printer, it is generally recommended to start testing within the 200°C to 230°C range for the nozzle and 50°C to 65°C for the bed.
Does this filament require a heated bed?
While a heated bed is highly recommended for best results and to prevent warping, some printers may succeed on a cold bed with proper adhesive aids.
Troubleshooting
Filament causing nozzle clogs
Verify that your print temperature is within the recommended range and check your heat break cooling fan.
Excessive stringing
Increase your retraction distance or decrease the printing temperature slightly to prevent oozing.
Poor bed adhesion
Clean the print surface with isopropyl alcohol and verify that the first layer height is properly calibrated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High dimensional accuracy reduces print failure
- Superior layer adhesion for stronger parts
- Environmentally conscious cardboard spool
- Reliable, tangle-free winding
- Minimal warping and shrinkage
Cons
- Requires specific temperature tuning compared to standard PLA
- Available in a limited range of base colors
- Paper spool may generate slight dust during long-term use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure your printer bed is properly leveled, as the high strength of PLA+ can cause parts to adhere very firmly to the print surface. Store the filament in a cool, dry place and use a vacuum-sealed bag with desiccant when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. Because it is wound on a paper spool, ensure your spool holder is compatible with the standard center hole diameter. If you experience minor stringing, consider adjusting your retraction settings by 0.5mm increments until the behavior stabilizes.
