    fab PLA Plus

    fab PLA Plus is an enhanced version of standard PLA filament that retains PLA’s low-temperature printing and minimal warping while adding greater toughness, impact resistance, and stronger interlayer bonding. It is still easy to print, making it suitable for beginners and versatile applications, but produces parts that are less brittle, more durable, and sometimes have a more matte or premium finish. Made from renewable sources like corn or sugarcane, PLA+ remains biodegradable under appropriate conditions and gives off a mild, sweet scent during printing, just like regular PLA, but with better performance where it counts.

    Printing Advice

    1. Extruder Temperature
    For PLA Plus, we recommend an extruder temperature of 200°C - 220°C. The higher end of this range can help with layer adhesion and strength, particularly on larger or more detailed prints.
    2. Bed Temperature
    While PLA Plus can be printed on an unheated bed, for optimal results we recommend a bed temperature between 50°C - 60°C. If adhesion issues occur, try printing the first two layers at 65°C, then reduce to 60°C for the remaining layers.
    3. Fan Control & Minimum Layer Time
    PLA Plus benefits from active cooling for clean, crisp layers. Set the extruder fan to 100% after the first layer. If printing small parts with rapid layer times, consider slowing the print slightly to ensure proper cooling and detail retention.
    4. Retraction
    Start with a retraction speed of 30-80 mm/s. Use a retraction distance of 2-5 mm for Bowden setups or 1-2 mm for direct drive extruders. Fine-tune based on stringing and oozing performance.
    5. Build Plate Adhesion
    PLA Plus is slightly less prone to warping than ABS but can still benefit from adhesion aids. Use a glue stick, painter’s tape, or PEI sheet if your print lifts at the corners.
    6. Print Slower
    PLA Plus allows moderately fast printing, but for the best layer quality, print at 40-60 mm/s. Slower speeds improve layer adhesion and surface finish.
    7. Keep Filament Dry
    PLA Plus is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air, which may cause brittleness, popping sounds during printing, or bubbles on the print surface. Wet filament can result in weaker interlayer bonding. Store PLA Plus in a sealed container with desiccant, or dry it in an oven at 60°C for 12 hours before use.
    8. Unload Filament
    When not in use, remove PLA Plus from the printer and store it in a cool, dry, airtight container with desiccant. Aim for humidity levels of 10-15% to maintain optimal print performance. Proper storage can restore slightly damp filament if left in these conditions for 1-5 days.
    9. Gluing
    PLA Plus parts can be bonded with cyanoacrylate (superglue) or two-part epoxy for strong joints.

    Applications

    FibReel Basic fab PLA Plus 3D Printing Filament is a high-performance material used in a variety of prototyping and functional applications. It offers improved strength, durability, and heat resistance compared to standard PLA, while remaining eco-friendly and easy to print!
    1. Food Packaging
    While PLA Plus is bio-degradable and considered safer than traditional plastics, it is primarily chosen for prototypes of food packaging due to its enhanced mechanical properties and ease of processing. It allows designers to test packaging durability before full-scale production.
    2. Automotive
    The automotive industry values PLA Plus for prototyping functional car components. Its improved strength and thermal resistance make it suitable for testing trims, dashboard elements, and small interior parts that require durability.
    3. Household Appliances
    PLA Plus is ideal for prototyping household appliance parts. Its enhanced toughness and dimensional stability allow designers to create functional prototypes that can withstand mechanical stress during testing.
    4. Architectural Models
    PLA Plus is perfect for models printed mainly for aesthetics, including detailed architectural designs. Its fine layer adhesion and smooth finish help achieve precise and visually appealing results.
    5. High-Detail Prints
    For users focused on intricate and small-scale designs, PLA Plus offers superior strength and reduced brittleness compared to standard PLA, making it ideal for miniature models, figurines, and complex components.
    6. Consumer Electronics Prototypes
    PLA Plus is well-suited for functional prototypes in electronics, such as casings, mounts, and structural components, thanks to its higher durability and thermal stability.
    7. Beginner-Friendly
    Despite its enhanced properties, PLA Plus remains easy to print and user-friendly, making it a great choice for beginners exploring functional and aesthetic 3D printing projects.
    8. Toys, Containers, and Low-Wear Applications
    PLA Plus is often used for toys, containers, architectural mockups, and other low-wear items that benefit from a balance of strength, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness.
