The short answerEnter 210 to 230 °C and 50 to 60 °C.
PLA+ prints at a nozzle of 210 to 230 °C with the bed at 50 to 60 °C, per the eSUN PLA+ datasheet. SUNLU PLA+ runs cooler, 205 to 215 °C. Run the part cooling fan at full speed. The settings sit a touch hotter than standard PLA.
The values to enter
The eSUN PLA+ datasheet lists a nozzle of 210 to 230 °C and a bed of 45 to 60 °C. The SUNLU PLA+ sheet lists 205 to 215 °C and 50 to 60 °C. Set the nozzle from 210 to 230 °C per eSUN, and stay near the low end for SUNLU PLA+. Set the bed to 50 to 60 °C. Start there.
| Setting | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzle temperature | 210 to 230 °C | eSUN 210 to 230, SUNLU 205 to 215. |
| Bed temperature | 50 to 60 °C | eSUN 45 to 60, SUNLU 50 to 60. |
Run the part cooling fan at 100 percent for crisp overhangs. Keep the print speed near 40 to 60 mm/s for the best detail and layer adhesion.
Tuning the values
| Likely cause | Fix | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Brittle or weak prints | Dry the PLA+ at 50 °C for 8 hours | hi |
| Stringing between moves | Drop the nozzle 5 °C and add retraction | md |
| Poor first-layer adhesion | Raise the bed to 60 °C and clean the sheet | md |
| Weak layer adhesion | Raise the nozzle toward 230 °C | lo |
Key takeaways
- Set the PLA+ nozzle to 210 to 230 °C.
- Set the bed to 50 to 60 °C.
- Run the part cooling fan at 100 percent.
- Dry PLA+ at 50 °C for more than 8 hours before printing.
