"We use 3D Fuel Pro PLA+ to print the large mold pieces that we make our Eco-marathon vehicles in. The Pro PLA+ always prints great. Our prints take 2-3 days each and we can't have problems at the 48th hour! This is the only filament we trust."

Heat Resistance Comparison

You can anneal your design after 3D printing for even better heat resistance and impact toughness.

Tough Pro PLA+ VS standard PLA+

Test parts were 3D printed on a Bambu Lab X1C at 0.2mm layer height with no annealing. A 1kg standard weight was used for the drop test.

Additional Filament Information

One of the big questions we often get about Tough Pro PLA+ is about heat resistance, especially in a scenario like a hot car.

 

You can gain the maximum heat resistance by annealing your 3D print (furthest print from camera), but that's not always practical or feasible to do, especially as the part shrinks 1-2% during the annealing process and needs to be tightly constrained in a gypsum or salt flour to reduce warping.

 

But, even without annealing, you can see that the Tough Pro PLA+ part resists heat much better than the Standard PLA+ (nearest to the camera). In some ways, in this test, the Tough Pro PLA+ part (middle part) is partially annealing in the temperature ramp-up. This is why customers state that it can work great even in a hot car in the desert of Arizona!

Diameter Tolerance: 
Our filament diameter tolerance is +/- 0.02 mm.

High filament diameter variability can cause significant problems in your 3D printer. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production.

 

Packing Information: 
A full 1kg (2.2lbs) of Tough Pro PLA+ plastic filament arrives on an easy-to-use plastic AMS-compatible spool and is vacuum sealed with a desiccant packet to keep out any moisture.

 

Test Printing: 
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers including Bambu Lab, Raise3D, MakerBot, LulzBot, Prusa, Creality, and more. We 3D print what we manufacture to ensure that our filament provides the best quality possible.
