Anycubic PLA+ Filament – Spring Leaf (1.75mm, 1kg)
Tougher, less brittle than standard PLA | Tight ±0.02mm diameter tolerance | Prints with standard PLA settings | Low odour | Works with any 1.75mm FDM printer
Everyday PLA, upgraded. Anycubic PLA+ is tougher and less brittle than standard PLA, but it prints just as easily. That makes it a great step up for hobbyists, schools and makers who want parts that survive handling, drops and everyday use.
Tougher prints. PLA+ has higher impact strength and more give than standard PLA, so parts are less likely to crack or snap. It’s ideal for toys, clips, brackets, cases, cosplay pieces and functional prints that get handled a lot.
Consistent, clean extrusion. A tight diameter tolerance of ±0.02mm keeps extrusion even, which means fewer clogs, smoother surfaces and more reliable prints from start to finish.
Easy to print. It uses standard PLA settings (190–230°C nozzle, 55–65°C bed, 50–200mm/s), so you can load it and print straight away. On compatible Anycubic printers, spool identification sets the print settings for you automatically.
Fresh spring-leaf green. A soft, natural leaf green that brings a fresh, organic feel to prints. It’s lovely for planters and garden accessories, leaves and plants, frogs, dinosaurs and other creatures, kids’ toys, tabletop terrain and nature-themed décor.

Tips for best results
- Dry the spool at 45–50°C for 6–8 hours if it’s been open for a while.
- Store it sealed with desiccant when you’re not using it.
- PLA+ softens at around 50°C, so keep prints out of hot cars and direct sun. Garden prints left outside in a South African summer can warp, so PETG is the better choice for permanent outdoor use.
- Print in a ventilated room, as with any 3D printing.
