If you pursue annealing, expect 1–2% shrinkage and plan to constrain the part tightly during the process to reduce warping. For best results, some users anneal parts away from the camera plane (furthest from the viewer) to maximize strength gains while monitoring dimensional changes. While annealed parts perform exceptionally in hot environments, many users find they perform well without annealing for typical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhat’s inside and the quality you can rely on\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e with strict process controls to ensure consistent quality across batches.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter and ovality monitored in real time\u003c\/strong\u003e with a multi-axis laser system, delivering reliable extrusion and dimensional stability.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAMS-compatible spool\u003c\/strong\u003e on a durable, user-friendly 1 kg (2.2 lb) spool, designed for easy loading and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture protection\u003c\/strong\u003e vacuum-sealed packaging keeps filament dry and ready for immediate printing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong color\u003e: Grap e Purple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilament diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight per spool\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 kg (2.2 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tough Pro PLA+ (NatureWorks Ingeo PLA)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220–250°C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBed temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0–60°C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended bed surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEI, heated glass, blue painter’s tape, BuildTak, WhamBam\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint speed\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60–250 mm\/s\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: ±0.02 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 kg spool, AMS-compatible, vacuum-sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned for professionals and serious hobbyists alike, Tough Pro PLA+ delivers dependable, repeatable results for functional prototypes, fixtures, and end-use parts where toughness and heat resistance matter most—without sacrificing the smooth, easy print experience you expect from PLA+.
