About PLA+

PLA+ (also called PLA Pro or Tough PLA) is an enhanced version of standard PLA that offers significantly better impact resistance and slightly higher heat tolerance. It prints just as easily as regular PLA but produces parts that are less brittle and more durable. The exact formulation varies by manufacturer, so results can differ between brands, but the best PLA+ filaments offer a meaningful upgrade over standard PLA for functional prints.

PLA+ at a Glance

Strengths

  • Up to 4x better impact resistance than PLA
  • Higher heat tolerance (70-80C vs 55-60C for PLA)
  • Better layer adhesion
  • Less brittle than standard PLA
  • Same ease of printing as PLA

Weaknesses

  • Not a standardized spec (varies by brand)
  • Slightly more expensive than PLA
  • Some brands offer little improvement over regular PLA
  • Still not suitable for high-heat or heavy-load applications
