PLA+ filament is the reinforced version of ordinary PLA, combining beginner-friendly ease with strong additives. Unlike its standard counterpart, SunLu PLA+ significantly reduces issues such as brittleness, low elongation breaking points, and layer adhesion problems. The minor difference in tensile strength is overshadowed by the abundance of advantages this filament brings to the table. With SunLu PLA+ Filament, you can elevate your 3D printing projects to new heights, all while enjoying affordability that suits budget-conscious Makers.
SunLu PLA+ goes above and beyond typical PLA filament. Many Makers believe PLA+ is the new standard for 3D printing, from beginners to pro Makers. Its enhanced elongation and bending strength make it less brittle. Your 3D printed models will enjoy better resistance to falls, impacts, and stretching. While regular PLA is prone to snapping after a fall, SunLu PLA+ exhibits robustness for your precious decorations.
Superior print quality and reduced spider-webbing are fantastic features of this remarkable filament. SunLu PLA+ offers unparalleled value for your money. With higher flow temperature, this filament ensures stronger bonds between layers. No need to worry about unsightly gaps and stringing along surfaces. SunLu PLA+ Filament boasts smoother, cleaner, and more reliable prints.
We fell in love with SunLu’s broad colour range and decent quality. Of course, as with any other filament brand, we encourage you to test out SunLu PLA+ Filament for yourself, and if you enjoy the colours, print quality and easy printing style of it, then take the next leap and test out other materials from the SunLu Filament Range. So far, we’ve enjoyed each and every variant that we have in stock, and we’re quite certain that you’re going to fall in love with SunLu just like we did when first sinking our teeth into their range of materials and colours.

Although 3D Printing at first glance can seem extremely complicated, with a crazy amount of different polymers and plastics available, PLA is polymerised in such a way that even a beginner can enjoy awesome results without ever needing any training or formal education on the topic. This is why it is arguably the most popular filament in the world, and as long as you aren’t requiring the printed models or parts to be very strong, it can handle a wide range of applications from decorative art to functional door handles and similar types of objects.
However, even though it is very easy to print with compared to other polymers, there are still some handy tips to help you get to a good level of quality from your PLA Prints, and this is why we’ve taken the time to provide what we feel are the Top Three Tips for 3D Printing with PLA:
Although we like to believe that we are masters of 3D Printing, after spending a good many years enveloped in the industry, we have to admit that even we learn something new from time to time, and as such we always recommend getting out there and doing your own research to develop your own opinion and grow your knowledge from multiple sources!
As such, in addition to the above PLA Printing Tips, we’ve also gathered an awesome collection of what we feel are great resources to start with when getting into 3D Printing, so be sure to check these out if you’re looking for more insights and information on PLA Printing, or if you’re just curious and eager to see more opinions on one of the many facets of this still-fresh industry:
