ELEGOO PLA+ Translucent 1.75mm 1kg filament 🧵
Reviews
Product description
This PLA+ filament from ELEGOO is a 1.75 mm translucent spool that aims to deliver tougher prints with improved impact resistance while remaining easy to use for general FDM 3D printing. It is suited to functional prototypes and decorative pieces where stronger layer bonding and a glossy finish are desirable, and it prints at lower temperatures which can help reduce warping during longer jobs.
Key Points
ELEGOO states that this PLA Plus formulation offers greater hardness and impact resistance compared with standard PLA, which can be useful when printing parts that need a bit more mechanical strength. The filament is reported to be wound mechanically and inspected by hand to minimise tangles and feeding problems, helping prints run more smoothly. According to the manufacturer the material is dried and vacuum-sealed to limit moisture and bubbles, which reduces the risk of nozzle blockages and poor extrusion. 🌟
Technical Specifications
Name: ELEGOO PLA+ Filament 1.75mm Translucent 1KG
- Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.02 mm
- Net weight: 1 kg (approx. 2.2 lbs) on a cardboard spool
- Material: PLA Plus (higher toughness and impact resistance, according to the manufacturer)
- Form: Translucent colour
Practical Tips
To get reliable results, run a short calibration print after loading the spool so you can confirm extrusion and first-layer adhesion. Because the filament is described as lower-warping, you can often print reliably without an enclosed chamber, but a heated bed set to typical PLA temperatures may still improve adhesion for larger parts. If you are changing spools after long storage, consider a brief drying cycle if your printer or a filament dryer is available, even though the product is delivered vacuum-sealed. 🔧
Positive Aspects
The combination of a dimensionally consistent 1.75 mm diameter and tighter tolerance aims to produce steady filament feed and consistent layer deposition. The translucent finish gives prints a neat, glossy appearance and can work well for light-diffusing parts or models where a semi-transparent look is wanted. Note that while toughness is improved compared with ordinary PLA, very high-impact or load-bearing applications may still benefit from engineering plastics, depending on use. 🎨
