INLAND Micro Center PLA+ 1.75mm 2-Pack Filament - Reliable Prints

In this review of the INLAND Micro Center PLA+ 1.75mm 2-pack, the bottom line is simple: this filament is best for hobbyists and small workshops that want consistent, easy-to-use PLA+ in bold colors without fuss. The reviewer found the filament's dimensional accuracy and vacuum-sealed packaging the single biggest reasons to buy, since dry, evenly wound filament reduces print failures and setup time.

Key Features

• Dimensional accuracy: The 1.75mm filament is specified at +/- 0.03 mm, which helps keep extrusion consistent and lowers the chance of under- or over-extrusion during prints.
• Printer settings: Recommended nozzle temperatures of 205C to 225C and bed temps of 45C to 60C make it simple to dial in reliable prints across common FDM printers.
• Quality packaging: Each 1 kg spool is vacuum sealed with desiccant so the filament arrives dry, reducing brittleness and moisture-related print defects.
• Easy feeding: Even winding on the cardboard spool and a large 2.00 in hub hole help the filament feed smoothly on most 1.75mm setups.
• Improved toughness: PLA+ formulation is less brittle than standard PLA, improving layer adhesion and part durability for functional prints.

Who It's For

This filament suits hobbyists, educators, and makers who need a dependable, affordable PLA+ for everyday printing, especially when color consistency and low odor are useful in shared spaces. It is also a good match for printers that accept standard 1.75mm spools and benefit from a cardboard spool with a large hub hole.

Users who require exotic materials, extremely high-temperature filaments, or certified industrial-grade polymers should look elsewhere; this PLA+ is designed for general-purpose FDM/FFF printing rather than specialized mechanical applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Consistent diameter tolerance supports clean extrusion and accurate layer deposition.
• Comes vacuum sealed with desiccant so prints start with dry filament and fewer print issues.
• PLA+ blend reduces brittleness for better part toughness and layer adhesion.
• Good value for a two-color 2.2 lb total package for everyday projects.

Cons

• Some customers report occasional stringing or tangles, so careful handling and slicer tuning may be required.
• Cardboard spools are lightweight and may not suit setups that prefer heavier plastic spools.

Our Verdict

The INLAND Micro Center PLA+ 1.75mm 2-pack is a sensible, cost-effective choice for makers who want reliable prints without elaborate setup. Its dimensional control, dry packaging, and PLA+ toughness make it strong value for hobby and classroom use, though advanced users seeking specialty filaments should consider other options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this filament ready to print out of the package?
Yes. Each spool is vacuum sealed with desiccant so it arrives dry and ready to load after unsealing.

What temperatures should I use?
Use a nozzle temperature between 205C and 225C and a bed temperature of 45C to 60C for best results.

Will this filament work on my 1.75mm printer?
Yes. It is compatible with most FDM and FFF printers that accept 1.75mm filament, but handle the filament carefully to avoid tangles.
