Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of PLA+ / Tough PLA filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm PLA+ / Tough PLA filament (density 1.24 g/cm³) contains approximately 335.28 meters (~1100 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 126.42 meters.
What is the density of PLA+ / Tough PLA 3D printer filament?
PLA+ / Tough PLA has an average density of 1.24 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining PLA+ / Tough PLA on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for PLA+ / Tough PLA?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 205-225 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 50-65 °C.
