Review on Top-Quality PLA Filament for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Supplies by Kyle Rock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Elevated temperatures (245°C/75°C) are key for PLA+

These temperatures may sound crazy (and contrary to popular belief on the internet), but I have by far the best adhesion and print quality with a nozzle temperature of 245°C and a layer temperature of 75/65°C for the first/following layer. This is slightly above the recommended temperature I found online, but I have a small bank of Prusa printers and have been experimenting with several different SUNLU PLA+ inks/rollers and increasing the temperature was the only way. Let this filament consistently print well. Low nozzle temperatures in the range of 190-215 or 60°C were constantly shut down and attempts were made to clog the nozzle. Once I found the lucky medium of 245/75 everything printed great and the prints stuck very strongly to the build plate. In addition, PLA+ parts are less brittle and have an extra "give", making them more durable for parts subjected to stress, impact, or abuse. We've continued snapping regular PLA printed parts, but this PLA+ seems to be producing much stronger parts.

Pros
  • 3D Printing Consumables
Cons
  • Long Delivery Time
