Withstands Repeated Flexing
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.
Prints That Last
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.
RFID for Intelligent Printing
All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, which can be read through our AMS (Automatic Material System). Load and print! No more tedious setting steps.

Printing Tips
- Due to the higher printing temperature, PLA Tough+ has a slightly stronger, non-pungent odor than regular PLA when melting. If necessary, lower the printing temperature or maintain ventilation.
- 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.
