Product details
Features & specifications
Bambu Lab PLA Tough+ is a 1.75mm PLA filament engineered for real-world impact, with toughness on par with ABS and up to 2× stronger layer adhesion than standard PLA. It shrugs off bumps, drops, and hits and withstands repeated flexing, which makes it a good fit for RC cars, model planes, springs, clips, connectors, and durable tools. It works with every Bambu Lab printer and the full AMS series.
Highlights
- Built to take a beating. Toughness on par with ABS, so prints shrug off bumps, drops, and hits.
- Stronger layers. Up to 2× stronger layer adhesion than standard PLA.
- Withstands repeated flexing. Outlasts standard PLA where it typically fails, for parts that need to bend without breaking.
- Prints that last. Holds its performance over time for demanding, tool-grade applications.

Printing and Care
- Ventilate. The higher printing temperature gives a slightly stronger, non-pungent odor than regular PLA. Lower the temperature or keep the area ventilated if needed.
- Use dedicated supports. Because the layers bond so strongly, Bambu Support for PLA or Support for PLA/PETG is recommended as the support interface for easier removal and a cleaner finish.
- Print safely. Use a well-ventilated area, and keep filament and fragments away from children and pets. This filament is not food-grade, so do not use finished prints for food storage or contact.
