ELEGOO Rapid PLA Plus 1kg PLA filament 🧵
Reviews
Product description
This high speed PLA+ filament from ELEGOO aims to speed up printing while keeping parts usable and consistent. It is presented as a 1kg spool of black filament that suits both everyday prints and faster production runs, and it features dimensional precision and improved toughness for functional pieces. If you need to cut print time without losing too much detail, this PLA+ high speed filament is aimed at that balance between pace and part quality.
Key points
ELEGOO’s Rapid PLA Plus brings a mixture of higher flow and tougher material properties that help reduce brittleness and cracking during use. The filament is described as having improved flexural strength and elongation at break, so small functional parts can survive handling better than standard PLA. It also arrives well wound on a cardboard spool to lower the chance of tangles during long prints. For many users, printing at a quicker pace is the main draw, while those who favour absolute fine detail may want to test settings first.
Tech specs
- Name: ELEGOO Rapid PLA Plus Filament 1.75mm Black 1kg
- Type: PLA plus
- Size: 1.75 mm
- Capacity: 1 kg
- Compatibility: Suitable for most 3D printers including Neptune 4, Neptune 4 Pro, K1, K1 Max, Ender 5 series, Kobra 2, M5 and M5C
What stands out
The production control aims to deliver consistent diameter with a tolerance of ±0.02 mm, which supports smoother feeding and reduces underextrusion risks. The formulation is tuned for speed, so melting and flow are improved to permit print speeds reported up to 600 mm/s according to the manufacturer, while still offering stronger, harder parts than typical PLA. Expect fewer filament snaps and jams thanks to the combination of mechanical spooling and manual inspection during packing. 🧰
What it works with
ELEGOO Rapid PLA Plus fits well into workflows where you want faster turnarounds on prototypes or decorative items, particularly when you value consistent feeding and less downtime from tangles. You’ll like it if you need quicker prints and reasonable mechanical behaviour from printed parts, and if you run printers that can accommodate high flow rates. It might not be a great match if ultra-fine surface finish is your main priority, or if you require materials with higher heat resistance than PLA can provide.
Usage tips
Start by tuning extrusion multiplier and print temperature to match your machine and hotend type, and check cooling settings to preserve detail at higher speeds. Keep an eye on spool tension and feed path when pushing speed limits, and swap in a slower profile for very small or intricate models. 🛠️
