Frequently asked questions

What is the best PLA+ filament in Bangalore?

We stock PLA+ from eSUN, Numaker, JAMGHE, Bambu Lab, from ₹780 per 1 kg spool. Compare brands in the table above.

What temperature do I print PLA+ at?

Nozzle 200 – 225 °C, bed 0 – 60 °C, at about 40 – 60 mm/s.

Is PLA+ better than PLA?

PLA+ is tougher and less brittle than standard PLA while printing at similar settings, so it is better for parts that take stress. Standard PLA can give slightly crisper detail on display models.

Do I need a heated bed for PLA+?

A bed of 0–60 °C works; a heated bed at 50–60 °C improves first-layer adhesion on most printers.
