Prusa PLA+ MATT Army 1kg
Premium PLA+ filament in
matte army green color, manufactured by the Czech producer Filament PM for Prusa printers and other FDM printers. It combines the
easy printing of classic PLA with better toughness and a beautiful matte surface that minimizes reflections and partially hides fine layers.
Why choose PLA+ MATT Army
- Matte army look – decent military green without shine, ideal for mock-ups, armor, RC models, technical parts, or design objects.
- PLA+ blend – improved properties compared to regular PLA: higher toughness, better layer adhesion, and lower risk of cracking.
- Easy printing – low risk of warp, minimal shrinkage, suitable even for beginners.
- Reliable diameter – precise production and stable material flow ensure consistent print quality.
- Made in CZ – high-quality filament from an established Czech manufacturer (Filament PM, filament supplier for Prusa).
Recommended use
This filament is especially great for:
- Army and military models – tanks, vehicles, weapons, accessories for wargaming.
- Functional prototypes and technical parts, where you appreciate a matte, inconspicuous appearance.
- Cosplay and props – armor, holsters, covers, and accessories that do not have an unnecessarily shiny plastic look.
- Decorations and design elements – the matte surface looks more professional than shiny PLA.
Print settings
Typical recommended settings for PLA+ MATT (may vary slightly depending on printer and profile):
- Nozzle temperature: 190–210 °C
- Bed temperature: 50–60 °C
- Recommended surface: smooth / textured / satin PEI sheet, glass, or other surface intended for PLA
- Cooling: 80–100 % after the first layers
- Print speed: standard PLA speeds (e.g., 40–80 mm/s) – the filament is also suitable for higher speeds
Before printing, we recommend
thoroughly cleaning the print surface (isopropyl alcohol, according to the printer manufacturer's recommendations) and checking the correct first layer height setting.
Material properties
- Material: PLA+ (polylactide blend)
- Surface: matte
- Color: Army green
- Filament diameter: 1,75 mm
- Diameter tolerance: typically ±0,05 mm
- Density: approx. 1,24 g/cm³ (typical for PLA+)
Advantages
- Very easy to print, suitable for beginners.
- Low distortion and warping – suitable for larger parts.
- Ability to print fine details and thin walls.
- Matte surface that looks better and partially hides layers.
Limitations
- Lower temperature resistance – similar to PLA, not recommended for parts exposed to temperatures above approx. 55–60 °C (car interior in the sun, etc.).
- Not ideal for permanent outdoor use (lower UV resistance).
Tips for best results
- If you print faster, or on an enclosed printer, consider a profile for PLA+ with slightly adjusted nozzle temperature.
- For a perfect surface, try increasing the number of top layers (e.g., 5–7) and slightly reducing the speed of top surfaces.
- Use larger infill and more perimeters for functional parts that will be stressed.
