Anycubic PLA+ 3D printer filament, 2 kg spool

For printing display models, craft pieces or engineering parts, filament choice affects both the finished object and the day-to-day print. Anycubic PLA+ is a grey 1.75 mm filament intended for most FDM 3D printers.

Its stated focus is toughness, with some impact resistance, rather than simply producing a model.

The spool holds 2 kg, so it may suit longer projects or having more filament available between changes.

Key specifications

This is PLA+ filament in texture grey, supplied on a 2 kg spool. The listed filament diameter is 1.75 mm, with a stated dimensional tolerance of ±0.02 mm. The product information describes tidy winding and dimensional stability, and says the material has minimal shrinkage to help reduce cracking and warping. These are manufacturer claims, not a guarantee that every print will come out cleanly, results still depend on the printer and its settings.

The description also says the filament is designed for high toughness and some impact resistance, and that it extrudes smoothly with few layers. That makes it worth considering when a printed piece may be handled, rather than being kept purely as a static display. Anycubic also lists an identification chip for automatic printing-information identification with the ACE Pro. The listing does not provide specific temperature or speed settings, so you will need to use guidance suited to your printer.

Who it’s for

It suits you if you want a larger spool of grey PLA+ for models, artwork, craft projects or engineering parts, and your FDM printer uses 1.75 mm filament. If you are weighing it against a more basic PLA choice, the stated appeal here is added toughness and impact resistance. That may matter for an object you expect to pick up or use, while a simpler display-only project may not need that particular emphasis.

It may not suit you if your printer uses a different filament diameter, or if you need confirmed settings for a particular machine before buying. The product says it works with most FDM printers, not every model. Its identification feature is specifically described for ACE Pro, so don’t assume automatic identification on other systems. The 2 kg spool is also a substantial amount to have on hand if you only plan to print a small test piece.

Everyday use

For example, you could print a small model, remove it from the bed and handle it while cleaning up the edges or adding it to a display. The tidy winding is intended to help the filament feed without crossed turns, tangles or twisting, and the product description claims clog-free, bubble-free extrusion. Those claims are useful context, but they do not replace checking your printer’s filament requirements or following suitable print settings. Given its design, this is a practical choice to consider for repeated projects where a larger supply and a tougher PLA+ formulation are priorities.

Before you decide

Will it fit my 3D printer? The listing specifies 1.75 mm filament and says it suits most FDM printers. Check your printer’s required diameter and compatibility before choosing.

What does the identification chip do? It is described as enabling automatic printing-information identification with the ACE Pro. The listing does not confirm this function for other systems.

What colour and amount are included? The product is described as texture grey and comes on a 2 kg spool. No other box contents are specified.

Veredicto final

Choose this Anycubic PLA+ if your printer takes 1.75 mm filament and you want grey material in a larger spool, with toughness and some impact resistance as part of the brief. It is less compelling for a one-off, small print if you do not need that quantity, and the listing leaves printer-specific settings to you. The decision comes down to matching the diameter and weighing the stated toughness against how much filament your projects actually use.
