Designed for repeated flexing, Bambu PLA Tough+ outlasts standard PLA where it typically fails. It’s perfect for prints that need to bend without breaking—like springs, clips, and connectors.
With enhanced durability, Bambu PLA Tough+ maintains its performance over time, extending the lifespan of standard PLA prints and making it suitable for demanding, tool-grade applications. Use it for parts that need impact resistance and repeated flexing.

1. PLA Tough+ requires a higher printing temperature to deliver enhanced mechanical performance, which may produce some odor during printing. Make sure your workspace is well-ventilated.
2. Due to the high interlayer strength of Bambu PLA Tough+, it is recommended to use dedicated support filaments (Bambu Support for PLA, or Bambu Support for PLA/PETG) as the support interface material for easier removal and a cleaner finish.
**The color and texture of the filament are subject to the physical product. Images are for reference only.
Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
