Prusa PLA+ MATT Lila – matte PLA+ filament for reliable and easy printing
Prusa PLA+ MATT Lila is a
matte PLA+ filament "Made for Prusa" designed for maximum trouble-free printing on Original Prusa printers and other FDM 3D printers. The filament is manufactured in the Czech Republic with a
diameter of 1.75 mm and a tolerance of ±0.05 mm, which ensures stable material flow and consistent print quality.
A matte lila shade will give your models an elegant, subtle look. The surface does not show the typical gloss of regular PLA, so it
better hides layers and minor imperfections. It is ideal for design models, figures, covers, decorations, and functional prototypes where aesthetics matter.
Main benefits and features
- Easy printing even for beginners – the filament has very good printing properties, a low risk of deformation, and does not require a closed print chamber.
- Improved PLA+ formula – compared to standard PLA, it offers:
- better adhesion between layers and higher impact resistance (prints are more flexible under stress),
- higher viscosity, which helps reduce nozzle clogging,
- better behavior during insufficient cooling in warmer environments.
- Matte surface – lila/magenta shade with a matte effect, ideal for decorations, cosplay parts, boxes, design prototypes, or models where you want to suppress layer visibility.
- Low shrinkage and minimal warping – suitable for both large and small objects.
- Biodegradable PLA-based material – more environmentally friendly than common petrochemical plastics.
Note: PLA is generally not suitable for permanent outdoor use and for applications exposed to temperatures above approx. 60 °C – at higher temperatures, the material may soften and deform.
Recommended print settings
For optimal results, the following settings are recommended (based on official parameters for the PLA+ MATT "Made for Prusa" series):
| Parameter |
Recommended value |
| Nozzle temperature |
190–210 °C |
| Heatbed temperature |
50–60 °C |
| Recommended surface |
Smooth / textured / satin PEI |
| Cooling |
80–100 % (standard PLA settings) |
The filament is also suitable for
high-speed printing if you adjust the profiles in the slicer accordingly (smooth acceleration, correct flow, and cooling).
Typical use
- design and exhibition models,
- figures, statues, accessories, and props,
- electronics covers and small mechanical parts with lower thermal stress,
- prototypes, models for presentations and visualizations,
- interior decorations.
Thanks to its easy printing, the filament is suitable for
beginners, schools, makerspaces, and professional users who want a reliable material for everyday printing.
Material and processing quality
- Material: PLA+ (polylactide, modified PLA)
- Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
- Diameter tolerance: ±0.05 mm
- Made in: Czech Republic
Each spool is wound to minimize thread crossing. The matte PLA+ composition helps reduce nozzle clogging and ensures smooth material flow throughout the print.
Tips for successful printing
- Before printing, thoroughly clean the print surface (e.g., IPA, as recommended by the printer manufacturer).
- For matte PLA filaments, it may be necessary to slightly adjust the first layer (Z offset) compared to glossy PLA – a first layer that is too high or too low can worsen adhesion.
- For a better appearance of the model, use a finer layer height (0.15–0.2 mm) and sufficient cooling.
- If printing larger objects, avoid drafts and sharp changes in room temperature.
