How PLA+ differs from PLA

The base is the same polylactic acid. The difference is additives that raise impact toughness and slightly improve layer bonding. In practice: a part that would snap when knocked off a desk in ordinary PLA usually survives in PLA+.

Everything else - the easy printing, the absence of smell, no need for an enclosure - stays.

How to print it

  • Nozzle: 200-230 °C, typically 5-10 °C above the same colour in ordinary PLA
  • Bed: 40-60 °C
  • Cooling: full, though 70-80 % bonds layers better on detailed parts
  • Enclosure: not needed

What to print

Anything PLA would do, but that will lead an active life: instrument cases, children's toys, holders, lightly loaded mounts, functional prototypes meant to be handled.

What not to expect

Heat resistance is unchanged: 50-60 °C and the part deforms. PLA+ answers brittleness, not heat. For anything that gets warm, it is still PETG, ABS or ASA.

Storage

As for PLA: a bag with silica gel, and 4-6 hours at 45-50 °C if the filament has taken on moisture.
