OVERTURE PLA Filament 1.75mm, Neatly Wound 3D Printer Filament 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, Fit Most FDM 3D Printers (Black 1-Pack)

Overture isn’t the highest quality pla out there for your 3d printer, but I’ve never had issues with their filament. It doesn’t clog, looks very uniform, and very flexible. It’s a solid option over the more expensive stuff out there to purchase.

Update: I have now used several overtire filament products and have decided that the issues I had with this particular product were likely due to my own improper handling of the filament when loading my printer or just a rare case of poorly spoiled filament. In either case all of the other filaments I have gotten from Overture have been top notch. It has been consistent and high quality. I have been moving away from PLA in favor of petg and I have to say their petg filament is where it’s at. I am changing my review to five stars after finishing the spool and also using several other overtire products. If you are looking for some great quality filament don’t hesitate to try this. When I first opened the package the filament seemed a little messy compared to other brands I had tried up to that point. It didn’t seem to be ranged just a little weird. At first it printed great and consistently. However it eventually started to catch on itself and after pausing the print to check it out I didn’t see any apparent tangles so I continued on. About 30min later it caught again and caused a rather large print to fail. I didn’t notice until it made a noise when the extruded snapped the filament in two. I thought I had fixed it when it happened AGAIN later that night with another large print(stupid me I should have changed rolls). Anyway, I rewound the entire thing myself and haven’t had an issue since. All in all, I am disappointed in the performance of this roll and how poorly it was wound. However, I am having great success with overtures petg. I’m giving it 4 stars for now. If I grab another roll from them with better results I’ll do a new review.

It's good filament. It extrudes nice and clean. Inter-layer bonding is good. Surface finish is a little on the glossy side but not bad. It just lays down NICE. Its well behaved. I bought the basic black and its a nice black, not thin and weak like other filaments. No need to buy Hatchbox or Atomic, this is just as good if not better behaved just WAY less expensive. Don't be fooled that its a non-name budget filament- its better than that! No worries about mystery brand, this is good stuff. Initially I bought it on a recommendation of a friend who tried it and liked it. I wanted to use as a cheap prototype and test print filament, but its so nice and well behaved I use it for tester AND final prints. Use KISS slicer to print temp tuning and destring wizards to dial in your temps and retracts. I found that this prints better on the lower end of the temp range 195C-200C , 4.5mm retract for my 650mm bowden. I have not tried the build surface yet, I will and update my review. It seems like it will work well. The spool itself is nice. I like the windows on the side for filament remaining. I wish that there was some more reference data on the label- like filament density and conversion numbers for things like cm^3/m, g/m and the like. It seems like when you need a number like that you can not find it. I REALLY like the paper ruler too, its actually pretty handy. Data might be nice there too. The box it comes in is one of the clam-shell types. I use it for part and component storage when its empty too. I wish that they consider the box reuse after printing for stuff like that. I like that it does not have a window that I have to tape up. The multi-packs are next on my list. I hope that they can keep a consistent quality and price point, maybe add a few more colors. EDIT: I got another roll delivered today and thought to update my review with some unboxing pictures. I omitted in my initial review a compliment about the roll packaging. The roll comes vacuum sealed in a reusable silver mylar bag. This is a REALLY nice feature as some of teh so called 'premium' filament vendors charge $2.50 per bag! the bag keeps out light and moisture better than plain poly bags usually used. You can see the printed cardstock ruler and the included build surface in the second photo. Like I said, I like the carboard box type: I reuse them for parts and roll storage.

Great quality filament. If your 3D printer is properly calibrated and aligned, it produces very high-quality prints. This is not the first time I have bought this filament, and it definitely will not be the last.

I have used this PLA since I first got my Ender 3 and have had bed adhesion issues. I personally do not care too much, I just use a glue stick. Otherwise, the print quality is solid. I have printed quite a few machine parts with it, and they work fine. I have had a few fails, but nothing that tweaking the slicer settings did not fix, most of the failures occur when the first layer would not stick to the printer bed. I thought the price point was amazing, 15-16 per roll. It is now 20-21 per roll, which had me looking for alternatives. Sadly the cheaper alternatives had terrible print quality, so I am switching back to Overture. A lot of people dislike the cardboard spools, but thats one of my favorite things about the packaging. I am not a fan of wasting tens of plastic spools. Overall, as long as their price does not increase more, I will continue buying my PLA from them.

Strong material and very reliable. Any fails that I’ve had I believe can be linked to my build itself and not the filament. This is a very good low budget option if you need to push out a lot of prints especiallly if you’re going to paint them. Once sanded and primed it takes paint very well.

Been running this OVERTURE black PLA through my Ender for a couple weeks now and honestly, it's been cruisin smooth. First off, it feeds like butter. No jams, no weird tangles, none of that headache mess that can pop up with cheaper filament. I just loaded it up and forgot about it. Which is kind of the dream right? The print quality is real decent too. Layers go down nice and even, like pancakes if you got a steady hand. I been making some functional stuff like tool holders and a couple decorative bits just to test it, and the surface finish came out clean. Not super glossy but not chalky either, just that nice in between look that doesn't scream “homemade” in a bad way. Color's solid too. It’s not that washed out gray black some spools give you. This one’s a true black, deep and consistent all the way through. Doesn’t fade out halfway through a print like I’ve had with other rolls. Definitely passes the eyeball test. Cardboard spool’s kinda whatever to me. Some folks get all excited about the eco friendly angle but I just care if it spins right and it does, so no complaints there. One tiny thing, it does like a little extra first layer squish. If you're used to fuss-free filaments, just keep that in mind. Once I dialed the z-offset in a touch lower, it stuck like a dream. Honestly, for a basic filament it punches above its weight. Great for everyday prints, prototypes, even some cosplay parts if you're painting after. If you're not trying to get all experimental with fancy materials and just want something reliable that won't drive you nuts, this is the one.

I usually buy the same brand as my printer and just have had zero issues. I do NOT use an AMS. I have bought some other brands for some unique colors that have all worked great (some adhesion issues) despite being not 'bambu' branded. I thought, I have some shop things I want to print and can deal with some poor quality filament to save a few bucks. Overture was on sale lightning deal 25% less than the name brand stuff, so I bought 6 spools. Big mistake! Started off using the Bambu PLA profile and had a failed print, figured my fault I'll use the Overture profile, failed again. Then I went into calibration mode. Trying to dial in all the settings I need to get a good print. Now I have already spent 1 spool of the cheaper PLA on failed prints. Went back to bambu pla, worked perfect. Back to overture, heck maybe I got bad spool. Every dang problem you could think of with that roll, only got 1 or 2 usable parts out of it. The money I saved per roll is already lost, I used 3 rolls to get enough usable parts I would have gotten out of 1 name brand roll. It took me weeks to get that and would have taken me a couple days with name brand. Lastly the quality of the parts is passable but not as good. So there goes any money you'd save. If you put any value on your time then it's a complete loss. I am debating on what to do with the 3 spools I haven't used. I mean it's also putting unnecessary wear and tear on the printer. For example, when it over extrudes, the print head might bang into it. The only things I'd say this is good for is you wanted to try and hit all the problems you could have 3d printing quickly. You might have to go through 10 spools of good filament before having any issue. With this filament you can have 3 or 4 issues on the same spool! Awesome as a debugging tool. I started a job last night and after I started it the filament like bird nested unspooled and got tangled up and lost my part. Never seen that before. If you were teaching 3d printing and you wanted your students to be exposed to every possible issue they could have, this is good for that. I am very lazy, and won't write any reviews good or bad unless I feel it's my civic duty to pass this knowledge on to my fellow humans for the benefit of humanity.
