Our Tough Pro PLA+ is the best PLA filament for 3D printing your most demanding projects. When you're looking for a tough PLA with excellent temperature resistance that prints as smooth as butter, 3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ is the material for you.
Manufactured in the US from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, Tough Pro PLA+ offers a third-generation level of material engineering for 3D printing. Since it's a NatureWorks PLA material, it's a sustainably sourced bio-plastic with an incredible eco-profile.
Tough Pro PLA+ Boasts 8.8x The Impact Toughness Of PLA+
Test parts were 3D printed on a Bambu Lab X1C at 0.2mm layer height with no annealing. A 1kg standard weight was used for the drop test.

Tough Pro PLA+ has higher impact strength than ABS and Standard PLA+ with a heat resistance that rivals that of ABS. That's even before any post-processing.
Tough Pro PLA+ was designed with the high impact strength needed in industrial applications to meet the growing demand for a material with the properties of ABS and the printability of PLA.
Heat Resistance Comparison
You can anneal your design after 3D printing for even better heat resistance and impact toughness.
One of the big questions we often get about Tough Pro PLA+ is about heat resistance, especially in a scenario like a hot car. Even without annealing, Tough Pro PLA+ resists heat significantly better than Standard PLA+; in high-temperature environments, the material can even partially self-anneal.

Filament Quality:
All 3D-Fuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in United States production facilities. We maintain exceptional control over the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality for every spool. Learn more about our quality standards.
Diameter Tolerance:
Our filament diameter tolerance is +/- 0.02 mm. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control diameter and ovality in real time during production to prevent printing issues.
Packing Information:
Each 1kg (2.2lbs) spool of Tough Pro PLA+ is AMS-compatible and vacuum-sealed with a desiccant packet to ensure the material remains dry and ready for use.
Test Printing:
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers including Bambu Lab, Raise3D, MakerBot, LulzBot, Prusa, Creality, and more. We print what we manufacture to ensure the absolute best results for our customers.
