Prusa PLA+ MATT Black 1kg – matte PLA+ filament for everyday reliable printing
Prusa PLA+ MATT Black is a high-quality
PLA+ filament with a matte surface, designed for users who want to combine
easy printing, high strength, and an elegant appearance of prints. Thanks to the modified PLA+ formulation, it offers better mechanical properties than regular PLA, higher interlayer cohesion, and reduced brittleness, while maintaining the ease of printing typical for PLA materials.
The matte black surface helps
hide layers and minor imperfections, making the filament a great choice for
design models, electronics covers, figures, prototypes, and presentation samples.
Main advantages and features
- Matte black surface
Discrete, non-reflective appearance that looks professional and masks layers better.
- Improved PLA+ formulation
Higher toughness and better interlayer adhesion compared to standard PLA – a less brittle material, also suitable for more functional parts.
- Easy printing even for beginners
Low setup requirements, no need for an enclosed print chamber. The filament is suitable for most common FDM printers (Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Bambu Lab, and others) that use 1.75 mm filament.
- Low shrinkage and minimal warping
Ideal for larger models where dimensional accuracy and stability are important.
- Good surface quality of prints
Thanks to lower printing temperature and the matte shell, smooth walls and clean details can be achieved.
Recommended print settings
Specific values may vary depending on the printer, nozzle, and cooling. The following ranges are commonly used for PLA+ and represent a suitable starting point for calibration.
- Nozzle temperature: 200–220 °C
- Bed temperature: 50–60 °C
- Print speed: 40–80 mm/s (higher speeds are recommended after tuning flow and cooling)
- Cooling: 80–100 % after the first layers
- Recommended bed surface: smooth PEI, textured PEI, or glass with a suitable adhesive
For best results, keep the
filament dry (sealable box with silica gel) and ensure the print bed is clean before printing (isopropyl alcohol / soapy water depending on the bed type).
Usage and typical applications
- design and presentation models with an elegant matte appearance
- electronics covers and mounts
- prototypes and functional parts with lower mechanical stress
- figures, hobby models, cosplay, and board games
- decorations and interior elements (organizers, stands, logos, signs)
Thanks to easy printing, the material is suitable
for beginners and advanced users, for home workshops, school classrooms, and small prototyping labs.

Tips for successful printing
- Before first use, check if the filament diameter matches the slicer settings (1.75 mm).
- For sharp corners and small details, consider lowering the print speed and nozzle temperature within the recommended range.
- If you observe poor bed adhesion, increase the first layer temperature, or use a glue stick, spray adhesive, or special adhesive product depending on the bed type.
- For a uniform matte surface, ensure sufficient cooling and consistent flow.
This filament is a great choice for everyone looking for a
combination of easy printing, matte appearance, and good mechanical properties at a reasonable price.
