OVERTURE PLA Filament 1.75mm PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1kg Cardboard Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm, Fit Most FDM Printer (White 1-Pack)

Very new to 3d printing, a prusa mini. We have 3 different brand filaments, including overture. The other two are amazon basics and prusa. Granted, the other two filaments have been exposed for about a year but it’s very dry where we live. Our first prints with amazon basics and prusa were rough with bubbles. I opened the overture filament and printed with it right away, and the print came out, to me, almost flawless. I’m going to try another color and hope it prints as well as this!

I added photos of the printed medal display box and to the more seasoned users, maybe it isn’t as well printed as i think but i have nothing to compare it to so, judge for yourself!

I have tried tons of different brands but always use overature in my production stuff. It’s is always consistent and works well on all the different colors i use. When 3d printing there are so many variables that can mess up your print so having a consistent filament is a major factor. I have found that with overature. When a printing issue happens, i can fix it quickly knowing it’s not the filament.

I started 3d printing not so long ago and have gotten several different pla from different companies. This by far has been the best for 3d printing. It doesnt separate, it sticks very well and the plastic doesn’t seem very brittle once its printed. 100% reccomend and will buy again.

Honestly impressed with how consistent the quality is from this filament. Might only buy from them from now on! I’ve used dozens of spools this year and this might be my favorite

Packed well and requiring minimal drying, love the cardboard spool and it seems to have a pretty great diameter throughout. Loads through bowden tubes without issue

I’ve used a number of colors of pla (as well as other materials like petg and tpu) from overture and they have been consistently reliable and good quality.

This is one of my favorite colors overture filament makes. I have not had a single issue with it at all, and for the price it is a no brainer. It is one of the most consistent brands i have bought over the years and will definitely continue supporting them throughout my 3dp career.

I love the look of silk filament and so far, overture silk filaments have been my very favorite. I typically print 200c hot end and 60c bed temperature with no problem.

This prints very smoothly with my snapmaker a350t. It’s one of the best filaments i’ve used so far, especially for the reasonable price. I’ve only tried the white so far, but i’ll definitely be trying some of the other colors. I like the fact that it comes on a slightly more environmentally friendly cardboard spool, but it does sometimes squeal when it’s spinning in my filament dryer. If they coated the outside ring with plastic or something else to reduce potential friction, this stuff would be perfect. My print settings for this: 200c first layer, 195c for the rest; bed temp 70c initial, 65c for the rest. Recommended.

Using this on a glass bed with an ender 3 pro. No breakage of the filament, rolls off easy and does not try out.

I’m printing on creality ender 3 pro machines that i’ve used for years. Very dialed in, very unproblematic machines. I’ve used hatchbox, gst3d, kodak, and overture branded filaments on them with zero issues. Whenever i get a new filament reel it always goes into my filament dryer to make sure it’s dry and good to go. No different with these two reels. They got a 12 hour session, relative humidity was brought down to 9% after 12 hours at 120’f, plenty warm enough to dry them out but not cause damage. It prints and adheres fine but there’s a lot of popping and voids from both reels on two machines. Both machines have new nozzles, new bowden tubes, the only similarities? The filament. It works. But there’s a bunch of small defects. I’m surprised. Overture is usually better than this.

I have the cr-10 v3.

This was the first spool of filament i bought after using up the pack that was included with my printer, and not going to lie, it gave me a lot of issues at first — bad bed adhesion, the first layer just wouldn’t stick, there were bubbles, and i would have random strings sticking out. All when it was printing perfectly fine with the previous filament. After a lot of print tests, research and some good ol’ cleaning, i now get beautiful prints from the overture pla filament.

Not all the printing issues i had were due to the filament. It was my first time changing out the filament, and i wasn’t exactly being gentle when trying to switch it out, so my leveling was most likely off. But i also found that this filament needed temps that are higher than the default settings i was previously using.

After searching on these reviews for suggestions on settings, it was printing better, but the first print adhesion was still not great and i had to watch the first layer like a hawk. I think i see residue from all the testing and failed prints getting smooshed too close to the bed, but scraping wasn’t working, and the screen cleaner that has worked fine in the past doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Finally decided to bring out the isopropyl alcohol and i finally had beautiful prints.

One star off because it can be pretty tricky to get the settings and adhesion dialed in to start, and as a 3d printing newbie i got so frustrated that i almost gave up, but it i got great prints once i got it figured out.

New temperature settings:
print temp (nozzle) – 210 c
plate temp (bed) – 60 c

I’m new to 3d printing, and the number and type of filaments available are potentially overwhelming. I took a chance and tried the filaments from overture after reading some good reviews on amazon and elsewhere and am happy i did. I’ve found this pla to be easy to use, with good adhesion and an attractive appearance to finished prints. I’m running a creality cr-10v3 with the nozzle temp set at 200, the bed set at 50 ,with 3mm of retraction, and have had no issues with either adhesion or artifacts and stringing has been so minor i hesitate to mention it. My only complaint is that i wish it came in bags that could be resealed. I love the recyclable spools and the way they mark them indicating an approximate amount remaining in both grams and meters. Great stuff, and overture will be my first stop when i expand beyond pla.

This was some of the first filament i purchased and printed with it for a while. I noticed my surface quality was quite low, poor adhesion and first layer always has bubbles/defects. I’ve tried drying it in a filament dryer, it lost quite a bit of water weight, but still poor print quality. I tried a spool of a competitors filament and it prints great.

Took a bit to dial-in settings, well documented on packaging. Bought 4x rolls of pla (3x black, 1 white) and tried a petg roll (separate review coming). Used in around-the-house and garage/workshop projects like trays, binds, adapters, etc.

Notes (for snapmaker 2 – a350):
-used in a recent 54-hour print on ‘draft’ / ‘fast’ settings; some adhesion and stringing (oozing) issues at layer/wall changes
-used in a recent 11-hour print on ‘normal’ settings; significantly reduced adhesion and stringing issues

price:
-recent price was $0.54/ounce
-single rolls were actually cheaper than the bundles

For the price it’s a pretty decent filament. Although there is some popping from moisture so i wouldn’t use it for a final print

Using a tronxy x5sa 400 and this filament was used for a baby yoda print which came out really well, very satisfied.

I’ve had a 3d printer for well over two months now. Out of the brands and colors i have had, the white is by far the most okay and terrible at the same time. The black is 100% good but the white snapped twice in the past 2 days alone. It snapped a month ago and i just chalked it up originally to something i did wrong or something going on with it. So white is the cheapest and the most easily accessible but beware.

Filament is not well spooled, it tangles a lot. Lost several prints.

Only a 1 week replacement policy, so dont buy 2 pack. So first spool outta 2pk no issue. Second spool i started a print and woke up to the filament snapped due to being tangled in spool. Well i untangled it as far as i could tell restarted the print and 2 days and 3/4 through the print same thing. So now ive wasted time, filament, and electricity so please be aware.
