Bambu Lab Tough PLA FAQ

Q: How much stronger is Tough PLA?
A: Tough PLA offers 20% greater toughness and 20% higher strength compared to standard PLA, making it better suited for functional applications.

Q: Is Tough PLA as easy to print as regular PLA?
A: Yes! Tough PLA prints with the same ease as standard PLA – same temperatures, same settings. The enhanced properties come from the formulation, not harder printing requirements.

Q: Why is dedicated support filament recommended?
A: Tough PLA has high interlayer strength, which can make same-material supports harder to remove. Using Bambu Support for PLA ensures clean separation.

Q: Can I anneal Tough PLA prints?
A: Yes, annealing at 50-60°C for 6-12 hours can improve properties, but be aware that some geometries may warp. Use a proper drying oven with even heat distribution.

Q: Is this good for heat-resistant applications?
A: Like all PLA variants, Tough PLA is not recommended for environments above 50°C where it may soften. For heat resistance, consider PETG or ABS instead.
