“PLA+” is a name frequently given to variants of PLA whose material properties have been enhanced through the use of additives beyond its traditional composition. To be clear, PLA+ is still PLA, as it has the same fundamental composition. The additives just give it a boost.

PLA+ is much more flexible and less brittle than PLA. Normal PLA can snap of quickly under high pressure whereas PLA plus tends to withstand this due to its flexibility. It’s specifically made to improve on the downfalls that PLA had as a 3D printed material, flexibility being one of them.

Can PLA printers use PLA+?

We recommend printing PLA/PLA+ with the heat bed temperature at around 50-60°C. If you’re prints aren’t sticking, printing the first two layers slightly hotter (65°C) will aid in print adhesion.
