Prusa PLA+ MATT Magenta 1kg
Prusa PLA+ MATT Magenta is an advanced PLA+ filament with a matte finish, manufactured in the Czech Republic. It is designed to provide better mechanical properties than standard PLA, while maintaining its ease of printability. Thanks to the rich
MATT Magenta color and matte finish, it is ideal for aesthetically demanding prints, models, decorations, or prototypes.
PLA+ (polylactide) compared to regular PLA has:
- higher layer adhesion and impact resistance – prints are more flexible and durable under stress
- higher melt viscosity, which reduces the risk of nozzle clogging
- better behavior when printing in warmer environments thanks to lower printing temperatures and higher viscosity
- suitability for high-speed printing and for 3D pens due to lower melting temperatures
Material properties
- Material type: PLA+ (polylactic acid)
- Finish: matte
- Color: MATT Magenta
- Filament diameter: 1,75 mm (manufacturing tolerance ±0,05 mm)
- Fill weight: 1 kg (on a spool; the manufacturer reserves a tolerance of approx. ±5% due to packaging)
- Country of origin: made in the Czech Republic
PLA is a very popular material for 3D printing. It prints easily, has low warping, and thanks to its lower melting temperature, it is also suitable for printing fine details and small parts. PLA+ additionally adds better mechanical properties and more comfortable printing behavior.
Warning: Like standard PLA, PLA+ has lower heat resistance – prints start to lose mechanical strength above approximately 60 °C. The material is also not ideal for long-term outdoor use due to lower UV resistance.

Always clean the print surface before printing according to the printer manufacturer's recommendations (isopropyl alcohol / suitable cleaner) to achieve optimal first layer adhesion.
Usage and tips for use
Ideal use:
- design models, figures, and decorations
- prototypes and presentation models
- large prints with low risk of warping
- details and fine technical parts
Benefits of matte surface:
- better hides minor layer imperfections
- professional, non-reflective look
- suitable for photography and product presentation
Post‑processing:
- wet sanding (with water) is recommended to prevent local overheating and surface smearing
- gluing with standard plastic adhesives; chemical welding is limited for PLA
Safety and food contact:
- PLA itself is generally considered health-safe, but 3D prints can accumulate bacteria due to microscopic grooves
- for repeated contact with food, we recommend using a suitable food-safe coating (food-grade varnish/coating)
