PLA+ prints like PLA but requires 5–10°C more nozzle temperature for full strength — start at the recommended 225°C.
Keep fan at 80–100% for best layer bonding and bridging performance.
PLA+ is stiffer and less brittle than standard PLA — good for functional parts that don't need high heat resistance.
If you see elephant's foot on the first layer, raise the Z offset slightly or reduce first-layer flow to 95%.
