JAYO High Speed PLA+ 2.0: Budget Filament That Keeps Up With 600mm/s Printers
JAYO has been quietly building one of the most aggressive high-speed filament lineups in the budget segment, and the 2026 refresh — branded High Speed PLA+ 2.0 — pushes the rated ceiling to 600mm/s. That's the same speed tier as filaments costing twice as much from premium brands, but at JAYO's signature bulk pricing.
The formula uses a higher melt-flow index than standard PLA, which means the plastic liquefies faster in the hotend and extrudes more cleanly at high volumetric flow rates. JAYO claims 500% higher filament liquid compared to their standard PLA+, though that metric is more marketing than science — the real test is whether it prints without stringing or under-extrusion at speed.
What's in the 2026 Lineup
| Filament | Speed Rating | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| High Speed PLA+ 2.0 | Up to 600mm/s | Enhanced melt flow, 1.1kg spool |
| High Speed Matte PETG | 50-600mm/s | Matte finish, layer-line hiding |
| FilaDryer J1 | N/A | 2-in-1 dryer and storage |
| PLA Silk / Wood / Glow | Standard | Special effect filaments |
One thing JAYO does that most budget brands don't: they ship in 1.1kg spools instead of the standard 1kg. That's 10% more filament for roughly the same price, and it adds up if you're buying in bulk. The spools are cardboard, which is easier to recycle and lighter to ship.
Real-World Performance
Independent testing on Bambu Lab P1S shows JAYO High Speed PLA+ 2.0 can sustain 400-500mm/s on typical parts with acceptable quality. Hitting 600mm/s requires a hardened steel nozzle, elevated temperatures (220-240°C), and simple geometry — same caveats as any high-speed filament. The matte PETG variant is particularly impressive, with a smooth non-reflective surface that hides layer lines better than glossy PETG.
The trade-off is color consistency. JAYO's bulk pricing means some color variation between batches, and the matte finish can make slight shade differences more visible. For functional parts or prototypes, that's irrelevant. For display pieces where color matching matters, buy enough filament for the whole project in one order.
