PLA+ is a custom formulated blend of PLA which results in a tough material with durability similar to ABS. Sharing many of the printing properties of PLA, it’s ideal for the printing larger functional parts without the fear of warping.
Brittle filaments are a thing of the past thanks to the addition of a toughening, bio-polyester resulting in a filament that is tougher than regular PLA whilst remaining equally as biodegradable and as safe to print.
PLA+’s low shrinkage and uncompromised accuracy allows it to capture detail down to the micron level without compromising on durability. This makes our PLA+ the perfect choice for when you are after a accurate, durable parts that print as easily as with regular PLA.

1. Extruder Temperature
We recommend an extruder temperature of 215°C for FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament.
2. Bed Temperature
Best results can be achieved with FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament at a bed temp of between 50°C - 60°C. If poor adhesion is an issue, print the first two layers ONLY with the bed at 65°C (and 60°C for every subsequent layer).
3. Fan Control & Minimum Layer Time
FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament prints best when rapidly cooled with the aid of your extruder's fan. This will ensure a clean, crisp layers with neat details. For the best surface resolution possible, set the extruder fan speed to 100%.
4. Retraction
We recommend starting with a retraction speed of between 30-80mm/s and a retraction distance of Between 2-5 mm for a Bowden setup or 1-2mm for a direct drive printer.
5. Build Plate Adhesion
While FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament is less prone to warping compared to other materials, even FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament can use a little extra help sticking to the bed sometimes.
6. Print Slower
With proper fan cooling, FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament can achieve blistering print speeds. We've found that printing at 50mm/s or slower yields great results.
7. Keep Filament Dry
FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament is prone to absorbing moisture from the air when left out in the open. When left out in a non-airtight environment, FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament will begin to become brittle and snap when uncoiled, causing loading and feeding issues. When printing wet filament, small bubbles can also appear on the skin of your print marring an otherwise smooth surface as. In severe cases, steam and small popping noises can be noticed exiting the nozzle when printing. Finally printing with wet FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament also results in weaker 3D printed parts overall with as wet FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament forms weaker interlayer bond between each print layer of your 3D printed part. Fortunately, wet filament can be rescued by dehydrating it in an oven at 60°c for 12 hours or by storing the filament in a container with ample amounts of desiccant for 1-5 days.
8. Unload Filament
Whenever possible, when not printing with FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament (and all other filaments for that matter), unload the filament from the printer and store it in an airtight container in a cool dry place to keep it dry. Ensure the desiccant that comes with the filament is also stored in the same container to keep the filament in optimal printing condition. Additional desiccant may be required depending on the size of the container and amount of filament being stored. Aim to keep the humidity level within the container at 10-15% and out of direct sunlight. Wet filament stored in this way can be regenerated by if stored in the conditions above for 1-5 days.
9. Gluing
Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) or two-stage epoxies are a great choice for when you’re looking to join your FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament parts.

FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament can be used in applications that need something tougher and sturdier
When you are looking to produce a 3D printed part in FibReel fab PLA 3D Printing Filament but require it to resist loads or survive the strains of being a functional model then FibReel fab PLA+ 3D Printing Filament is probably for you. With a elongation at break number of 45%, it is tougher than our regular FibReel fab PLA 3D Printing Filament and will flex before snapping. If you're printing models largely for aesthetic and non-functional purposes, FibReel fab PLA 3D Printing Filament may be more applicable.
