Prusa PLA+ MATT Silver 1kg
Prusa PLA+ MATT Silver is an improved PLA+ filament (polylactide) with a matte silver-gray appearance, manufactured in the Czech Republic. Compared to standard PLA, it offers better mechanical properties and a pleasant matte surface that better masks print layers.
Who is this filament suitable for?
- Users of Original Prusa printers and other FDM printers looking for a reliable and easy-to-print material
- Printing of large and small models where low warping and detail precision are important
- Designers and hobby creators who want an elegant matte silver surface without the gloss typical of regular PLA
- Beginners and advanced users who appreciate a wide printing window and minimal requirements for tuning settings
Main advantages of Prusa PLA+ MATT Silver
- Easy printing – very good results even with default PLA profiles
- Improved layer adhesion and higher toughness compared to standard PLA
- Higher viscosity – lower risk of nozzle clogging
- Suitable for high printing speeds thanks to optimized printing temperatures
- Low shrinkage and warping – ideal for larger objects
- Matte silver-gray surface – professional look, less visible layers
- Made in the Czech Republic – consistent quality control and filament diameter
Recommended print settings
- Nozzle temperature: 190–210 °C
- Heatbed temperature: 50–60 °C
- Recommended print surface: smooth, textured, or satin PEI spring steel sheet
Before printing, we recommend degreasing the bed thoroughly (e.g., with isopropyl alcohol) and following the principles of print surface care.
Usage and material properties
PLA+ is great for the following due to its low melting temperature and low thermal expansion:
- prototypes and design models
- figures, models, decorations
- precise technical parts without extreme mechanical or thermal stress
Material is:
- hard and stiff, but also more brittle – can break under overload
- less suitable for outdoor use and environments above approx. 60 °C (e.g., car interior in the sun)
Safety and post-processing
Although PLA is generally considered a material suitable for food contact,
it is not recommended to drink or eat from finished prints long-term. Bacteria can accumulate in small surface irregularities over time.
For better surface finishes,
wet sanding is suitable to minimize local overheating and softening of the material.
