Stronger-Than-Standard PLA in Black — eSUN PLA+ PRO
The eSUN Black PRO PLA+ 3D Printer Filament Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm 1 kg Spool 1.75 mm is an enhanced PLA formulation that delivers better toughness, superior layer bonding, and higher rigidity compared to standard PLA — while keeping all the ease-of-use benefits that make PLA the world's most popular filament.
eSUN's PLA+ PRO bridges the gap between regular PLA and engineering filaments. You get the low-warp, low-odor printing experience of PLA with meaningfully improved mechanical properties, making it suitable for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and light-duty mechanical parts.
PLA+ vs regular PLA: PLA+ is a modified PLA blend with additives that increase impact resistance and reduce brittleness.
It prints at slightly higher temperatures (205–225 °C) and produces parts that are noticeably tougher.
Why choose eSUN PLA+?
- Tougher than PLA: Better impact resistance and less likely to shatter on drops
- Superb layer bonding: Reduces delamination and improves part strength
- Easy to print: Only slightly more demanding than standard PLA
- ±0.03 mm accuracy: Tight dimensional tolerance for reliable feeding
- Low warp: No enclosure needed — works great on open-frame printers

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PLA+ the same as PLA?
No. PLA+ is a modified blend with improved toughness and layer adhesion. It's less brittle and prints at slightly higher temperatures.
Can I use the same settings as regular PLA?
Mostly yes, but increase nozzle temperature by about 10–15 °C (aim for 210–220 °C). Bed temp stays similar.
Is PLA+ food safe?
eSUN PLA+ is not certified food-safe. Layer lines can harbor bacteria regardless of material.
