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.

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.

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.

Frequently asked

What temperature should I set PLA+ to?
Start at 215 °C on the nozzle and 55 °C on the bed. The eSUN PLA+ range runs 210 to 230 °C, SUNLU runs 205 to 215 °C, and the bed sits at 50 to 60 °C.
Is PLA+ hotter than PLA?
A little. PLA+ runs about 5 to 10 °C hotter than standard PLA, but the ranges overlap.
Do I need a heated bed for PLA+?
Yes, a warm bed helps. Set it to 50 to 60 °C for the best first-layer adhesion.
Why is my PLA+ brittle even at the right temperature?
The filament is wet. Dry it at 50 °C for more than 8 hours, then retest the print.
