Print it right
The numbers that make PLA+ behave — plus the tricks the box label doesn't tell you about layer adhesion and clean retraction.
Nozzle
220 ± 10 °C
Bed
25–60 °C
Speed
30–70 mm/s
Fan
100 % after first layer
Drying
50 °C for 4 h if stored open
- PLA+ likes heat — run 225–230 °C for maximum layer adhesion, especially at high speeds.
- No enclosure, no hardened nozzle, no drama. Prints on every printer we know of.
Printer check: enclosure — not needed · hardened nozzle — not needed.

No fine print
The honest bit
Every material has tradeoffs. Here's PLA+'s full scorecard — the good, the meh, and the wrong-tool-for-the-job.
Where it shines
- Impact-modified: parts bend before they break
- Prints as easily as standard PLA
- Satin surface hides layer lines well
- Tangle-free winding — checked spool by spool
Worth knowing
- Likes a slightly hotter nozzle than plain PLA
- Cardboard spool — use an adapter ring in some AMS dryers

PLA plus by Duramic is my go to, it prints so smooth and nice… probably 15 rolls and never a tangle.
