PLA+ (PLA+ (PLA Pro)) is one of the most-used 3D printing materials. In plain terms: all the ease of pla, with noticeably more toughness.
VOXFIL PLA+ reinforces standard PLA with advanced modifiers for up to 30% higher impact strength and smoother bridging. It keeps PLA's easy printing behavior while surviving real-world handling — the professional's default for functional prototypes.

How to print PLA+
- Nozzle: 200 – 230 °C (220 °C sweet spot)
- Bed: 50 – 65 °C
- Speed: up to 140 mm/s, full cooling
- Excellent bridging — minimal stringing at 220 °C
Best applications for PLA+
- Functional prototypes
- Enclosures & housings
