Bambu Lab PLA Tough+ Orange 1kg

Bambu Lab PLA Tough+ Orange is a premium filament designed for more demanding, functional prints where standard PLA is no longer sufficient. It offers ABS-level toughness while maintaining easy and reliable printing like standard PLA.

Key Features

• Robust like ABS, simple like PLA – ideal for functional parts, jigs, holders, and covers.
• Up to 2× higher layer adhesion than standard PLA – lower risk of fracture at the layer line.
• Impact resistance and repeated bending resistance – suitable for clips, latches, flexible segments, and snap-fit joints.
• Bold orange color – highly visible parts for the workshop, safety marking, or test prototypes.
• Optimized for Bambu Lab printers – works perfectly with P1, X1, and A1 series and AMS systems.
• Low shrinkage and warping – easy printing even on open FDM printers.

Recommended Use

• functional prototypes and mechanically stressed parts
• holders, grips, mounting jigs, and covers
• parts exposed to occasional impact or drops
• clips, latches, hinges, and other parts with repeated bending
• safety elements, signs, and workshop tools in a highly visible color

Recommended Printing Parameters

(parameters according to the Bambu PLA Tough+ technical data sheet – take as a starting point, always fine-tune according to your printer):

• Nozzle temperature: 220–250 °C
• Bed temperature: 35–65 °C
• Print speed: up to 300 mm/s (lower speeds recommended for maximum surface quality)
• Cooling: fan on
• Compatible nozzles: 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm
• Recommended surface: Textured PEI, Smooth PEI, Cool Plate with special glue

Material Properties (Reference Values)

• Material: PLA Tough+ (modified PLA, odorless)
• Density: approx. 1.21 g/cm³
• Tensile Modulus (X-Y): ~1860 MPa
• Tensile Strength (X-Y): ~35 MPa
• Elongation at Break (X-Y): ~9 %
• Vicat Softening Temperature: ~62 °C
• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT, 0.45–1.8 MPa): ~58–61 °C

Thanks to these parameters, Bambu Lab PLA Tough+ is a great choice wherever PLA is too brittle, but at the same time you do not want to deal with the higher printing requirements of ABS or PETG.

Tips for Achieving Maximum Strength

• use more perimeters (walls) and higher infill in stressed areas,
• ensure perfect first layer adhesion – ideally using the recommended glue,
• for more demanding applications, prints can be annealed at approx. 50–60 °C for several hours (according to the manufacturer's recommendation, always test on a trial part).

Compatibility

• all Bambu Lab printers (including AMS/AMS 2 Pro/AMS Lite systems)
• most FDM/FFF printers on the market with a filament diameter of 1.75 mm

Bambu Lab PLA Tough+ Orange is the ideal choice for users who want reliable, easy-to-print, and yet mechanically durable filament with perfect visual visibility of parts.

Key Features:

• Durable PLA filament with toughness similar to ABS, suitable for functional and mechanically stressed parts
• Up to 2× higher layer adhesion than standard PLA for significantly lower risk of fracture
• Excellent impact resistance and repeated bending resistance – suitable for clips, latches, and flexible elements
• Easy and reliable printing like standard PLA, without significant shrinkage and warping
• Optimized profiles for Bambu Lab printers including AMS systems
• Bold orange color for safety elements, markings, and highly visible parts
• High-quality wound Bambu Lab spool for trouble-free filament feeding
