Is PLA Plus dimensionally consistent enough for prototypes and fit testing?
The fit of two printed parts depends on a consistent strand cross-section and consistent deposition, not on strength alone, and that is where a modified PLA compound is a real advantage: it bonds reliably layer to layer, so a printed wall reaches its nominal thickness instead of leaving gaps or a rough seam that changes the fit. Machining or filing a snap feature does not delaminate the part either. Print at 1.75 mm nominal on a spool, with 0.16-0.24 mm layers. We do not publish a tolerance in numbers; a paid test spool lets you measure it on your own printer and profile. Nozzle 200-230 °C.
