SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 Filament Bundle (4KG) – 1.75mm, 2.0 upgrade for tougher, stronger prints, Grey
Reviews
Product description
If you want PLA+ but you’re a bit fed up of brittle results (or hairline cracking on functional bits), this SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 bundle is aimed at that exact upgrade. On paper it’s built to be less prone to brittleness than standard PLA+, while still behaving in a way that’s friendly for everyday FDM printing.
You’re getting 4KG total in 1KG spools, which is handy if you tend to burn through filament for prototypes, jigs, and lots of “try it and see” iterations. Still, it’s not a magic material—PLA+ 2.0 can be tough for PLA, but it won’t replace true engineering plastics if your parts need extreme heat or heavy-duty load handling.
The essentials
SUNLU’s PLA+ 2.0 is a filament upgrade positioned around two outcomes: fewer issues with brittleness/cracking and improved print flow for faster projects. The bundle is for 1.75mm FDM printers and includes Gray filament wound in a neat, consistent way intended to reduce tangling or clogging during printing.
It’s also described as suitable for a range of jobs—from higher-precision models to functional parts and decorative items—so it’s not just for display. If you regularly print upgrades, brackets, holders, or practical items that see daily use, this kind of material-focused proposition makes sense.
What you’ll notice in use
The “fast printing” angle is one of the most practical selling points here. The manufacturer claims the filament melts quickly and flows smoothly, supporting printing speeds up to 300mm/s. In real terms, that usually matters if you’re doing batch prints or you like to iterate without waiting ages for each part.
They also list recommended settings that suggest a straightforward baseline to start from: - Nozzle temperature: 205–220°C - Bed temperature: 50–60°C - Print speed: 100–300mm/s - Dimensional accuracy: +/- 0.02mm
That accuracy figure is the kind of detail that matters if you care about fit and tolerance when printing things like mechanical-looking covers or parts that need to align. That said, actual results can still depend on your printer, calibration, cooling setup, and how consistent your machine’s extrusion is.
Where it shines
This bundle is easy to justify if your goal is stronger-feeling PLA+ prints without turning the project into a complex materials experiment.
What stands out based on the provided information: - Tougher PLA+ 2.0 positioning versus standard PLA+ (less brittle, less cracking risk) - Smooth melting/flow that supports faster print runs - Neatly wound spools designed to help prevent tangling or clogging - Broad compatibility with “nearly all” 1.75mm FDM printers
It’s also presented as reliable and user-friendly for both beginners and more experienced users. That matters because filament that’s fussy is where time gets wasted—this one is pitched as “smooth and effortless”.

Is it a good fit for your kind of printing?
It makes sense if you’re printing with a 1.75mm FDM machine and you want PLA+ that’s less likely to end up brittle or crack during normal handling. It also suits people who benefit from faster throughput and want a spool setup that aims to stay out of your way.
It’s not the best choice if your application needs a material that truly behaves like an engineering plastic under heat or heavy stress. PLA-based filaments can be great for many practical parts, but they’re still PLA in the end. If you’re printing something exposed to hot environments or demanding mechanical loads, you’ll want to be cautious and check material suitability beyond “tougher PLA”.
Buying verdict
A solid pick if you’re working on everyday functional prints and want an upgrade over standard PLA+—especially for projects where cracking or brittleness has been an annoyance. The spools being neatly wound is a small detail, but it’s the kind that can save time when you’re mid-print.
You may want to skip it if you don’t actually need an “anti-brittleness” upgrade and you’re only printing display pieces at low risk of stress. In that case, a more basic filament could do the job without you paying for properties you won’t notice.
It suits: - 1.75mm FDM printer owners - people printing mixed categories (models, functional parts, decorative items) - anyone who values faster print runs and consistent spool winding
It may not suit: - high-heat or extreme-load use cases - buyers who need full compatibility specifics beyond “nearly all” 1.75mm FDM printers
Mini FAQ
How much filament do you get in total?
The bundle contains 4KG total, with 1KG per spool.
What printer type is it for?
It’s described as compatible with nearly all 1.75mm FDM 3D printers.
What temperatures are recommended to start with?
Suggested start points are 205–220°C for the nozzle and 50–60°C for the bed.
Can it really print fast?
The provided information says it can support printing speeds up to 300mm/s, with a recommended range of 100–300mm/s.
What’s the main difference versus standard PLA+?
Compared to standard PLA+, SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 is positioned as more resistant to brittleness and cracking, which should translate to stronger, more durable prints for many everyday parts.
