PLA+ HS 3D Printing Filament - 1kg x 1.75mm

PLA+ HS (High Speed) 3D Printing Filament:

3D META’s PLA+ HS 3D printing filament is engineered for high-speed 3D printing without sacrificing strength, precision, or quality. Manufactured using a specially modified, toughened polylactic acid (PLA) blend, PLA+ HS allows users to print significantly faster while maintaining excellent layer adhesion, dimensional stability, and surface finish. This enhanced formulation is twice as strong as ordinary PLA and specifically optimized for today’s high-speed printers. Like all 3D META filaments, PLA+ HS is biodegradable and comes on recyclable plastic spools. Easy to print, highly reliable, and performance-tested — PLA+ HS helps you achieve professional results in a fraction of the time.

Key Features of PLA+ HS 3D Printing Filament:

• Optimized for High-Speed Printing: Specifically engineered to handle high-speed print settings while maintaining excellent print quality, dimensional accuracy, and smooth surfaces.

• Manufactured with High-Quality Materials: Every spool of PLA+ HS is made using premium-grade raw materials for consistent extrusion and reliable performance.

• Stronger than Standard PLA: PLA+ HS offers enhanced durability, improved impact resistance, and toughness, making it suitable for both functional parts and aesthetic models.

• Exceptional Bed and Layer Adhesion: Excellent first-layer adhesion and inter-layer bonding minimize warping, cracking, or print failures — even at faster speeds.

• Reduced Warping and Cracking: Dimensional stability is maintained throughout the printing process, reducing failed prints caused by thermal variations.

• 100% Biodegradable: PLA+ HS remains an eco-friendly choice that’s biodegradable and easier on the environment.

• Strict QA Manufacturing: Every spool undergoes strict quality assurance protocols, ensuring consistent filament diameter, color, and performance.

Applications for PLA+ HS 3D Printing Filament:

Thanks to its high-speed capabilities and superior strength, PLA+ HS is ideal for a wide range of users — from beginners to professionals needing rapid output without sacrificing quality:

• Rapid Prototyping: High-speed capability allows engineers, designers, and makers to iterate designs quickly, reducing development time.

• Cosplay Props & Large Builds: Faster print speeds make larger or multiple-part cosplay props more practical, while still providing the strength and finish needed for durability and post-processing.

• Functional Parts: With added toughness, PLA+ HS can be used for functional parts, brackets, jigs, and printer upgrades where standard PLA may not suffice.

• Production Runs: Small-batch manufacturing or low-volume production becomes more efficient with the ability to print parts faster without compromising on quality.

• Decorative Models & Art Pieces: Smooth finishes, excellent color options, and fine detail retention make PLA+ HS perfect for display models, figurines, and artistic prints.

Note: While PLA+ HS offers excellent mechanical properties, it remains sensitive to UV exposure like standard PLA. For outdoor or prolonged UV-exposed applications, consider materials such as PETG or ASA for better weather resistance.

Storage and Drying for PLA+ HS Filament:

Proper storage is key to maintaining performance, especially with high-speed filaments:

• Store in a Cool, Dry, Dark Environment: Use airtight containers or resealable bags with desiccants to avoid moisture absorption.

• Drying Recommendations: If moisture is absorbed, dry PLA+ HS using a filament dryer, food dehydrator, or enclosed 3D printer. Optimal drying temperature is 40℃ - 45℃ for 4–6 hours.

FAQ's

Q: Are 3D META's filament spools compatible with Bambu Labs AMS's or any other brand's multi-coloured printing systems? 

A: Yes, all of our spools are compatible with both Bambu Labs AMS systems and similar systems being released by other brands. 

Q: Can 3D META's PLA+ filament be printed at high speed? 

A: Yes, while we also have high-speed PLA available. our PLA+ filament prints perfectly at speeds over 300mm/s. When printing at high speed you may need to increase your print temperature to 240c. 

Q: Can you do custom colours in your PLA+ filament? 

A: Yes, we can create just about any colour, but there is a minimum requirement of 120 rolls. Please get in contact with us if you'd like to discuss this.

Q: What is PLA+ filament, and how does it differ from regular PLA?

A: PLA+ is an enhanced version of PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament. It includes additional additives that improve its strength, flexibility, and impact resistance compared to regular PLA. PLA+ typically has better layer adhesion and reduced brittleness, which in turn offers better print quality with fewer issues like warping or stringing.

Q: Does PLA+ require a heated bed or an enclosed printer?

A: While PLA+ can be printed without a heated bed, using one set to around 50-60c helps improve adhesion and reduce warping. An enclosed printer is not strictly necessary for PLA+, but it can be beneficial in maintaining a stable printing environment, particularly for larger prints.

Q: Can PLA+ filament be used for functional parts and outdoor applications?

A: PLA+ filament is generally more suitable for functional parts compared to standard PLA due to its improved mechanical properties. However, PLA+ is still not as heat-resistant or durable as some other filaments like ABS or PETG. For outdoor applications, PLA+ may not be ideal as it can degrade with prolonged UV exposure and high temperatures. For such applications, consider filaments specifically designed for durability and UV resistance.

Q: How should PLA+ filament be stored to ensure its longevity?

A: To keep PLA+ filament in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideally, keep it in a sealed bag or container with desiccants to prevent humidity absorption, which can lead to filament degradation and print issues. Proper storage helps maintain the filament's quality and performance over time.

Q: What diameter is 3D META's PLA+ 3D Printing Filament? 

A: All of the filament we offer is 1.75mm in diameter.
