Our Tough Pro PLA+ is the best PLA filament for 3D printing your most demanding projects. When you're looking for a tough PLA with excellent temperature resistance that prints as smooth as butter, 3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ is the material for you.

Manufactured in the US from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, Tough Pro PLA+ offers a third-generation level of material engineering for 3D printing. Since it's a NatureWorks PLA material, it's a sustainably sourced bio-plastic with an incredible eco-profile. 

Tough Pro PLA+ Boasts 8.8x The Impact Toughness Of PLA+

Test parts were 3D printed on a Bambu Lab X1C at 0.2mm layer height with no annealing. A 1kg standard weight was used for the drop test.

The video plays at 12.5% of real-time speed.

Tough Pro PLA+ has higher impact strength than ABS and Standard PLA+ with a heat resistance that rivals that of ABS. That's even before any post-processing.

Tough Pro PLA+ was designed with the high impact strength needed in industrial applications to meet the growing demand for a material with the properties of ABS and the printability of PLA.

Heat Resistance Comparison

You can anneal your design after 3D printing for even better heat resistance and impact toughness.

One of the big questions we often get about Tough Pro PLA+ is about heat resistance, especially in a scenario like a hot car.

You can gain the maximum heat resistance by annealing your 3D print (furthest print from camera), but that's not always practical or feasible to do, especially as the part shrinks 1-2% during the annealing process and needs to be tightly constrained in a gypsum or salt flour to reduce warping.

But, even without annealing, you can see that the Tough Pro PLA+ part resists heat much better than the Standard PLA+ (nearest to the camera). In some ways, in this test, the Tough Pro PLA+ part (middle part) is partially annealing in the temperature ramp-up. This is why customers state that it can work great even in a hot car in the desert of Arizona!

Filament Quality: 
All 3D-Fuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in United States production facilities.  We have exceptional control over the manufacturing process and can ensure consistent quality for every spool.

Learn more about 3D-Fuel filament quality.

Diameter Tolerance: 
Our filament diameter tolerance is +/- 0.02 mm.

High filament diameter variability can cause significant problems in your 3D printer. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production.

Packing Information: 
A full 1kg (2.2lbs) of Tough Pro PLA+ plastic filament arrives on an easy-to-use plastic AMS-compatible spool and is vacuum sealed with a desiccant packet to keep out any moisture.

Test Printing: 
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers including Bambu LabRaise3D, MakerBot, LulzBot, Prusa, Creality, and more. We 3D print what we manufacture to ensure that our filament provides the best quality possible.

Nice Finish, Decent Fit
Size: 2002-2005 E46
The fitment isn't perfect like the OEM grilles, but overall I was satisfied. These are just slightly smaller than the originals so there is a little play once installed. No need to modify the LH side grille for clearance to the hood latch though as other reviews mention. It looks like the design has been revised to address that problem. I was impressed with the paint finish and there weren't any noticeable blemishes like dust or dirt in the paint. These are probably the best and cheapest gloss black kidney grilles for E46 that are currently available. OEM grilles w/ gloss black are basically discontinued so we're all stuck with aftermarket if you want the gloss black shadowline look.

loose fitment
Size: 2002-2005 E46
I guess it's a hit or miss with this. You either get perfect fitment or poor fitment like I did, after the install it's very loose.

Awful fitment, poor quality
Size: 2002-2005 E46
Although not oem quality was expected, but I never thought to throw them away either. Grills look very nice, outside quality is good. Unfortunately the grills do not fit to its place and slip just after you close the hood. After several tries to make them stay in place I have broken 2 clamps. Finally I have removed these grills and went on with OEM ones. Also, pay attention that you must drill a space for hood lock on the inner side (driver side grill does not have the factory space for hood lock handle).

Cheap but works
Size: 2002-2005 E46
Why did you pick this product vs others?: These are cheap, but work. They don’t snap in well and don’t fit the edges perfectly. That being said, they’re cheap and fill the hole if your grill is broken or missing.
