PLA+ settings for the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro
Great match
These are tuned starting settings for printing PLA+ on the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro. The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro has a direct-drive extruder and an all-metal hotend, so we set the hotend to 215°C and the bed to 60°C. PLA+ is tougher and less brittle than standard PLA while printing almost as easily.

FAQ
- What temperature should I print PLA+ on the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro?
