As someone who 3D printer, you will most likely know Polylactic Acid as PLA—a raw material used to create 3D parts. PLA is one of the most popular 3D printing materials around. There are several 3D filament brands out there, all trying to manufacture high quality filament so you have something good to print with….
When looking at PLA filament, I came across another filament called PLA+ and wondered how it was really different. This put me on a search to find the differences between them and whether it was worth buying. PLA & PLA+ have many similarities but the main differences between these two are the mechanical properties and…
