ELEGOO PLA Plus Filament 1.75mm Black 2KG - Tougher PLA

In this review of the ELEGOO PLA Plus Filament 1.75mm Black 2KG, the bottom line is simple: this spool set is aimed at hobbyists and makers who want a tougher, low-warp PLA variant for functional parts without complicated settings. The reviewer found the filament easy to feed thanks to precise 1.75mm diameter accuracy, and the improved toughness makes prints less brittle for everyday use. For most FDM printers the lower printing temperature and glossy finish deliver dependable results, though occasional bed-adhesion tweaks may be needed on some machines.

Key Features

• Higher toughness: Enhanced impact strength reduces breakage for functional parts and small assemblies.
• Low warpage: Reduced shrinkage helps larger prints hold dimensional accuracy and flat beds stay reliable.
• Neatly wound spools: Full mechanical winding with manual inspection significantly cuts down tangles and line breaks during long prints.
• Dimensional accuracy: Tight tolerance of +/- 0.02mm at 1.75mm ensures consistent feeding and fewer extrusion issues.
• Glossy surface finish: Strong layer bonding and accurate deposition produce smooth faces and reduced layer delamination.
• Dry, sealed packing: Vacuum sealed and fully dried to prevent bubbling and clogging from moisture exposure.

Who It's For

The ELEGOO PLA Plus suits home enthusiasts, educators, and small workshops printing prototypes, jig fixtures, or parts that need a little extra durability compared with standard PLA. It is especially useful for users who value tidy spools and consistent filament diameter to reduce mid-print failures.

Users who need exotic electrical, chemical, or high-temperature properties should look elsewhere; likewise, those who require perfectly tacky first layers on difficult beds may need stronger adhesion aids or different build-plate preparations to avoid the occasional sticking issue some customers reported.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improved toughness and impact resistance for functional prints and small mechanical parts.
• Consistent feeding from precise 1.75mm diameter control helps prevent under- or over-extrusion.
• Neatly wound spools and vacuum packing reduce tangles and moisture-related clogging.
• Good surface finish with strong layer bonding produces attractive matte/gloss prints depending on settings.

Cons

• Some users experienced bed-adhesion issues or occasional brittleness on specific printers, so bed preparation may be necessary.
• Stringing can occur depending on slicer retraction settings and printer setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this filament compatible with my 1.75mm FDM printer?
Yes, the filament is made for standard 1.75mm FDM printers and the +/- 0.02mm tolerance helps ensure smooth feeding on most machines.

Does the filament require drying before use?
No, the spools are fully dried and vacuum sealed before shipping, but long storage after opening may warrant a dry box depending on local humidity.

Will this PLA Plus stick well to any print bed?
It generally has good adhesion, but some setups reported sticking issues; using a heated bed, glue stick, or suitable surface preparation can help achieve reliable first-layer adhesion.
