A 3D printing filament engineered to let high-speed machines complete projects quickly while keeping tight tolerances. ELEGOO Rapid PLA Plus Filament brings enhanced strength and smooth flow, helping makers avoid brittle prints and lengthy reprints. Is the speed and dimensional accuracy right for your workflow?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Printing Performance: Rapid melting and smooth flow enable high-speed printing with consistent extrusion
- • Best for: Hobbyists and makers using regular or high-speed 3D printers who value faster prototypes
- • Not ideal for: Projects that require specialised materials such as flexible or high-temperature filaments
Rapid PLA+ designed for high-speed printing with precise diameter control. Enhanced impact resistance reduces brittleness for functional parts.
Faster prints, thanks to rapid melting and improved fluidity
Enhanced fluidity allows the filament to melt and flow more smoothly, supporting speeds reported up to 600mm/s. The formulation and consistent diameter reduce pressure variations in the hot end for steadier extrusion.
Complete prototypes and test pieces far quicker on compatible machines, without obvious loss of print detail. Shorter print cycles help iterate designs more rapidly.
Stronger, more durable parts, with higher impact resistance
PLA Plus chemistry increases toughness compared with regular PLA, improving resistance to brittleness and cracking under load. That results from modified polymer blends that absorb more impact before failure.
Parts intended for functional testing or light-duty end use hold up better to knocks and handling. Fewer broken prints mean less rework and wasted filament.
Reliable feeding, with precise diameter control and neat winding
Manufacturing tolerances keep the 1.75mm diameter within +/- 0.02mm, and mechanical winding plus manual inspection reduces crossovers and tangles on the spool. Consistent dimensions lower the chance of extrusion hiccups.
Smooth, predictable filament feeding reduces jams and failed prints, improving first-layer success and lowering downtime. Neat spools are easier to load and manage on the bench.
