Why do we use PLA+ for our cosplay replicas?

At 3DRepCreations, we have chosen to print our replicas in PLA+, a modified filament based on standard PLA, offering major technical advantages for demanding cosplayers.

1. Improved Strength

· PLA+ is more resistant to impact and bending than traditional PLA.

· Ideal for weapons that are frequently handled or carried to conventions.

2. Better Surface Finish

· PLA+'s finish is smoother and more consistent, facilitating sanding, painting, and finishing.

3. Ease of Printing

· It retains the simplicity of traditional PLA, without the toxic odor or significant warping.

4. Better Mechanical Strength Over Time

· Less susceptible to humidity and breakage than other common plastics.

· Perfect for regular use and prolonged exposure.

5. Environmentally Friendly

· Made from plant starch, it is a bioplastic with a low environmental impact.

In short, PLA+ combines the best qualities of PLA with increased strength. It's the perfect material for creating replicas that are as beautiful as they are durable.
