Product description
Prusa PLA+ MATT Race Red 1kg
Prusa PLA+ MATT Race Red is a high-quality PLA+ filament in an attractive matte racing shade of red. It is designed to offer easy and reliable printing, excellent layer adhesion, and clean details, while the matte finish helps hide layers and minor imperfections.
This filament is suitable for both beginners and advanced users who require a stable material for everyday prototyping, functional components, covers, decorations, and models for RC and cosplay.
Main advantages and use
- Matte racing red shade – attractive, rich color with an elegant non-reflective appearance.
- Easy printing – PLA+ prints without significant warping, suitable even for open FDM printers.
- Good strength and toughness – improved mechanical properties compared to regular PLA.
- Great details – accurate printing of fine elements and sharp edges.
- Universal use – prototypes, functional parts, decorations, design models, mockups, holders, and organizers.
Thanks to very good dimensional accuracy and a stable diameter, the filament is suitable for most desktop FDM 3D printers.
Recommended printing parameters*
\nSpecific values may vary slightly depending on the printer type and hotend; we always recommend fine-tuning with a few test prints.
- Nozzle temperature: 200–220 °C
- Bed temperature: 50–60 °C (on PEI smooth or powder-coated sheets, glass, etc.)
- Printing speed: 40–80 mm/s depending on model complexity
- Print cooling: 80–100 % for high-quality surface and bridges
For the best adhesion to the bed, a clean surface (isopropyl alcohol) is recommended, and if necessary, a thin layer of glue or a special adhesive agent.

Use of Prusa PLA+ MATT Race Red
- Design and prototyping – fast functional prototypes, models, covers, holders.
- Decorations and figures – decorative elements, models, cosplay accessories.
- Technical and household parts – grips, organizers, jigs, mounting fixtures.
- Education and hobby – school projects, modeling, RC models.
The matte surface gives prints a professional look and is also ideal for models intended for further painting – the matte structure ensures good paint adhesion.
Storage
To ensure the filament maintains its printing properties long-term, it is recommended to:
- keep it dry (ideally in a resealable bag or box with silica gel),
- protect from direct sunlight and high temperatures,
- always reseal the spool in the packaging or a dry box after printing.
This will prevent moisture absorption, which can cause cracking, bubbles, and poor print surface.
