ZIRO PLA Filament High Speed 1.75mm HS-PLA Spool - Fast Printing

In this review the ZIRO PLA Filament High Speed 1.75mm spool is evaluated for hobbyists and small shops who prioritize fast turnaround and dependable prints. The single biggest reason to buy is its Hight Speed PLA formulation that allows printing at much higher speeds - up to 600 mm/s - while maintaining usable surface quality and reliable feed. This review focuses on real use: dimensional accuracy, feed reliability, and how the filament behaves across typical FDM setups.

Key Features

• Up to 600 mm/s Printing: Enables much shorter print times on compatible printers, letting users iterate faster without reprinting overnight.
• Hight Quality HS-PLA: Made from premium raw material to deliver good ductility, higher strength, and a cleaner printing experience with minimal odor and no visible bubbles.
• Fast Cooling Formula: Higher fluidity and quicker solidification help maintain detail at speed and reduce stringing when tuned correctly.
• Dimensional Accuracy: CCD-controlled diameter tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm improves flow stability and makes extrusion more predictable across long prints.
• Wide Printer Compatibility: The spool and larger inner hub reduce feeding issues and the filament fits most FDM printers without modification.
• Pre-dried and Vacuum Sealed: Filament dried for 24 hrs before sealing, which decreases moisture-related print problems out of the package.

Who It's For

This filament suits 3D printing enthusiasts, prototypers, and small workshops that need faster print cycles and acceptable detail at high speeds. It is particularly useful for testers and designers who value rapid iteration and want a filament that handles higher extrusion rates without frequent clogs.

Those who require ultra-fine surface finish for display pieces or who print extremely small, detailed parts may prefer a slower, specialty PLA or resin for the last step of production. Also, very old or low-torque extruders may not achieve the top speeds advertised and should verify feed capability before relying on maximum throughput.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-speed capability shortens print times substantially when paired with a capable printer and tuned cooling.
• Consistent diameter control and full mechanical winding reduce jams and make long prints more reliable.
• Pre-dried filament with low odor and no visible bubbles improves first-layer adhesion and overall print stability.
• Spool dimensions and hub design provide smoother feeding on many popular FDM machines.

Cons

• Print quality and adhesion received mixed feedback, so high-speed settings may need tuning per printer to optimize surface finish.
• Maximum claimed speeds require a high-performance printer; users with basic machines will not realize the full 600 mm/s benefit.

Our Verdict

The ZIRO HS-PLA filament is a practical choice for anyone who wants to cut print time without frequent filament trouble; its tight diameter control, pre-drying, and spool design make it good value for rapid prototyping and functional parts. Buyers with capable printers will get the most benefit, while those chasing the finest cosmetic finish should plan a final pass with a slower PLA or alternate material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this filament fit my printer?
Yes, the 1.75 mm HS-PLA fits most FDM printers and the spool hub is larger to help smoother feeding.

What print settings work best?
Start with nozzle 190-220 C and bed 50-60 C, then adjust cooling and retraction when increasing speed above typical PLA settings.

Is the filament dry on arrival?
Yes, the filament is dried for 24 hrs and vacuum sealed to reduce moisture before first use.
