Prusa PLA+ MATT Dark Blue
Prusa PLA+ MATT Dark Blue is an
improved PLA+ filament with a matte surface in a deep dark blue color. The matte effect significantly reduces the visibility of layers and reflections, so the prints look
professional and premium directly from the printer without the need for demanding post-processing.
Main advantages of the material
- Matte surface – suppresses layer visibility and reflections, prints look clean and elegant
- Easy printing – behaves similarly to classic PLA, suitable even for beginners
- Higher toughness than standard PLA thanks to the modified formulation (PLA+)
- Low distortion (warping) – suitable for larger parts without cracking and corner peeling
- Excellent print detail – sharp edges, fine details, good bridging
- Dark blue shade – rich, deep blue for technical and decorative models
Applications
This filament is ideal for:
- design and presentation prototypes
- covers, holders, organizers, and home equipment
- figurines, models, decorations, and cosplay elements
- logos, signs, and promotional items
Thanks to its ease of printing, it is suitable for
home users, schools, clubs, and professional prototyping.
Recommended print settings
(Guideline values – always adapt to the specific printer and profile.)
- Nozzle temperature: 200–220 °C
- Bed temperature: 50–60 °C (can also be printed on a lukewarm / cold bed with a suitable adhesive agent)
- Print speed: 40–80 mm/s depending on the complexity of the model
- Cooling: 80–100 % (strong airflow for sharp details)
For
best adhesion, we recommend printing on surfaces such as PEI, textured PEI sheets, or glass with a suitable adhesive.
Printing tips
- For a maximum matte appearance, choose a rather lower nozzle temperature within the recommended range.
- If you need higher strength, slightly increase the nozzle temperature and set more perimeters (e.g., 3) and a higher infill.
- Store the filament in a dry place – ideally in a resealable box with silica gel.
