PLA+ 1.75mm Filament 2-Pack Black & Gray - 1kg Cardboard Spools

In this review the focus is on a practical, budget-conscious option for everyday 3D printing: a 2-pack of PLA+ filament in black and gray supplied on cardboard spools. The bottom line is that this filament is aimed at hobbyists and small workshop users who want consistent dimensional accuracy and easy handling; reviewers highlight reliable print quality and color accuracy as the main reason to buy. Users who need a no-fuss spool that arrives vacuum sealed and ready to print will find this package especially useful.

Key Features

• Dimensional accuracy: The 1.75mm filament is specified at +/- 0.03mm, which helps produce consistent layers and fits reliably in most FDM extruders.
• Ready to print: Each 1 kg spool arrives vacuum sealed with desiccant, keeping the filament dry and reducing troubleshooting for moisture-related print defects.
• Easy feeding: The PLA+ formulation melts evenly and feeds smoothly, reducing clogs and producing defined corners with minimal warping.
• Printer settings: Recommended nozzle temperature of 205C to 225C and bed temperature of 45C to 60C give a clear range to dial in prints across many machines.
• Practical packaging: Cardboard spools are lightweight with an 8.81 in diameter and a 2.00 in hub hole, fitting most spool holders and keeping the filament organized.
• Tougher than standard PLA: The PLA+ formulation is less brittle and gives improved layer adhesion and part toughness for functional prints.

Who It's For

This kit suits hobbyists, educators, and small workshop users who run frequent prints and want consistent, color-accurate results without spending on premium specialty filaments. The vacuum-sealed spools and clear temperature guidance make it good for users who value low setup time and fewer failed prints.

It is less suitable for users who need flexible, specialty, or engineering-grade materials where higher temperature resistance or tensile strength is required. Also, if absolute silence about stringing is critical, some users report occasional stringing and tangles, so heavy post-processing might be needed in those cases.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Consistent dimensional accuracy helps reduce nozzle jams and calibration tweaks.
• Vacuum sealed with desiccant means the filament is dry and ready to use on arrival.
• PLA+ mix gives better toughness and layer adhesion compared with basic PLA.
• Good value for a 2-pack of full 1 kg spools in staple colors.

Cons

• Some users have experienced occasional stringing and tangles, so careful handling of the spool is required.
• Cardboard spools are lighter duty than plastic spools and may not suit heavy industrial setups.

Our Verdict

For hobbyists and small shops that need dependable, color-accurate filament at a reasonable price, this 2-pack of PLA+ on cardboard spools is a solid choice. The combination of tight dimensional tolerance, vacuum-sealed packaging, and forgiving PLA+ toughness makes it good value for routine printing tasks, though those needing specialty materials or heavier-duty spools should look elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What temperatures should I use?
Recommended nozzle temperatures are 205C to 225C and bed temperatures 45C to 60C; start in the middle of those ranges and adjust for your printer and model.

Will this filament work on most printers?
Yes. It is compatible with most 1.75mm FDM and FFF 3D printers; check your spool holder fits an 8.81 in diameter spool and 2.00 in hub hole.
