At 3D-Fuel, we're working to develop Tough Pro PLA+ profiles for as many popular 3D printers as possible, but unfortunately, we're unable to cover every single 3D printer brand, model, and upgrade permutation.

We have our developed profiles available here for download, but if you have a 3D printer we don't have a profile for yet, you can easily create one using the steps below:

  • Start with a generic PLA profile
  • Recommended Printing Temperature: 230-250C
  • Recommended Bed Temperature: 0-60C
  • Bed Surface: Smooth or Textured PEI, BuildTak, WhamBam
  • Recommended Print Speed: 60 – 250 mm/s

How to anneal your Tough Pro PLA+ prints
Drying + Storing Instructions

Dry filament is happy filament!

Drying Temp: 50C
Drying Time: 6-8 hours

Please store Tough Pro PLA+ in an airtight container with desiccant when possible.

Wet filament can result in a poor surface finish on your printed part and may even contribute to clogged nozzles.
Spool Specifications - AMS Compatible

We recently introduced a new lightweight plastic spool that uses 29% less plastic.

It works well in AMS and AMS Lite units, as well as in other units that use a similar spool type.

  • Outer Diameter: 200mm
  • Width: 68mm
  • Empty Weight: 155g
  • Material: Recycled HIPS

Tough Pro PLA+ Is For Demanding Projects

3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ is the best PLA filament for 3D printing your most demanding projects. When you're looking for a tough PLA with excellent temperature resistance that prints as smooth as butter, 3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ is the material for you.

Manufactured in the US from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, Tough Pro PLA+ offers a third-generation level of material engineering for 3D printing. Since it's a NatureWorks PLA material, it's a sustainably sourced bio-plastic with an incredible eco-profile.

Tough Pro PLA+ Boasts 8.8x The Impact Toughness Of 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.

The video plays at 12.5% of real-time speed.

Tougher Than Other PLA+'s And ABS

Tough Pro PLA+ has higher impact strength than ABS and Standard PLA+ with a heat resistance that rivals that of ABS. That's even before any post-processing.

Tough Pro PLA+ was designed with the high impact strength needed in industrial applications to meet the growing demand for a material with the properties of ABS and the printability of PLA.

Heat Resistance Comparison

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

Smoking My Pipe With No Worries

"I’m currently printing a model paint pot holder using some PLA+ Refuel while enjoying my pipe tobacco outside far from my Prusa Core One. My print anxiety is at negative levels because I never have a problem with this reasonably-priced filament (and I’m almost in a smoking relaxation coma). Thanks 3D Fuel!"

— Ryan W. (5/5)

Works awesome

"Excellent print. No problems great color"

— Larry S. (5/5)

"Amazing material just not what i needed"

— Daniel (5/5)

This color!!!

"This is a gorgeous orange. I've been through 20-30 different orange filaments trying to find the right one for a company logo print I've been working on, and this was a delta 0. 72 match for it. Print quality is great, zero complaints. It is a FULL spool for certain, I had to take about 50' off for it to fit in my AMS2, but that doesn't bother me. I just fused it back on after I had used a bunch. Good stuff!"

— ALEXANDER L. (5/5)

Tough Pro

"Love the Tough Pro Series for its finished product gives longevity"

— Kevin M. (5/5)

Nice Printing PLA

"I did not do any testing on toughness but I did end up printing this. I, ignorantly, just printed with Bambu Generic PLA settings and that won't work. You gotta crank up the temp. One GREAT thing is that 3D-Fuel has JSON settings you can import into the slicers - I was able to import into Bambu Studio. Once I did that, the PLA printed great. For me, it warped a little bit more than regular PLA when printing big long walls. I had a little more trouble with adhesion, but all these things were not a big deal. My prints came out great and 3D-Fuels dimensional accuracy is very good as you have to look to see the layer lines. Overall, a very good product."

— Marlan W. (5/5)

Superb!

"What a fun color! Print quality is fantastic, and this stuff is certainly "tough" as it is titled. No issues with bed or layer adhesion. 10/10 would buy again."

— ALEXANDER L. (5/5)

Great product

"Worked great for the look we wanted, it helps a lot to see the color in person vs those who buy sight unseen online."

— Travis L. (5/5)

Better by design

"This filament is far superior to the Bambu standard PLA. It seems to be cleaner and far smoother than any other filament I have used."

— Bryan Y. (5/5)

Stringy filamament no matter how much drying

"No matter what I do, I always get stringy filaments and large prints that separate. Customer service is no help either. And yes, I used your presets. . . ."

— Disappointed (2/5)
