ELEGOO PLA Plus 1.75mm 2kg Filament for 3D Printers

This PLA+ filament from ELEGOO is a 1.75 mm white set of two 1 kg spools that brings tougher, more reliable printing to everyday FDM projects. It combines higher impact resistance and improved layer adhesion, making it useful for durable prototypes, functional parts, and detailed models where reduced brittleness and cleaner overhangs matter.

Key Points

ELEGOO's PLA+ is formulated from NatureWorks 4032D feedstock, offering low warpage and lower shrinkage according to the manufacturer. The filament is noted for higher hardness and better tensile strength than standard PLA, which helps parts resist impacts and reduces the chance of fracture during use. Cooling performance is improved to support better bridging and overhang results. The product is sold as two 1 kg spools, totaling 2 kg (approximately 2.2 lbs per spool), with a 1.75 mm diameter and a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.02 mm for consistent extrusion.

Technical Specifications

• Material: - PLA+ (NatureWorks 4032D feedstock)
• Compatibility: - Most FDM 1.75 mm 3D printers
• Packaging: - Vacuum-sealed bag with desiccant

Benefits

The tighter dimensional tolerance helps maintain steady filament feed and fewer nozzle clogs during long prints. Stronger layer bonding gives a smoother surface finish and makes delamination less likely, which is especially helpful when printing taller or mechanically loaded parts. The cleaner winding and secondary inner spool reduce cross-winding and tangles, which decreases print interruptions and filament breakage. Cardboard spools are used in the packaging to reduce plastic waste, and the spool design includes three holes for quick visual checks of remaining filament.

Usage Recommendations

For most models start with temperatures typical for PLA and tune modestly upward if needed to capitalize on PLA+ toughness and layer adhesion. Use moderate cooling to take advantage of improved bridging behavior and to maintain a glossy, smooth surface. Store unopened spools in their vacuum-sealed bags with the included desiccant to prevent moisture uptake. Consider drying the filament briefly if it has absorbed humidity before printing, since moisture can cause bubbling or poor extrusion consistency despite the manufacturer’s packaging precautions.

Note that while PLA+ increases impact resistance and reduces brittleness relative to standard PLA, it may still lack the high-temperature performance of specialized engineering filaments, so avoid prolonged exposure to high heat environments when using printed parts.
