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

Had some issues with adhesion on default settings, thinking I may need to add a bit of heat, but 99% of my prints have turned out just fine, was just some issues with threaded/circular bits. I have done zero tuning for the filament, using default Kobra S1 Silk PLA profile and getting very pretty prints, and seem to be strong too. A little bit of stringing but very minimal, have not dried the filament either, just tossed it from the bag onto the reel. Would buy again. Overture always seems to be good quality. Love the cardboard reels.

This filament is the brown I used for Grogu's robe; aside from being a nice color on its own, the shade goes very well with the filaments from Sunlu's Meta line (I used "apple green" and "pink" in this print). Overture at its normal price is a bit expensive for me, but on sale it was a great deal.It prints well on my Bambu Lab A1 Mini using Bambu Studio's "generic PLA" profile, though (at least when printing with a .4 mm nozzle at a .16 mm layer height) I had to increase "top Z" distance from .16 mm to .2 mm to make the supports easier to remove. For this print, I supported the robe under the collar and under the raised arm, but I couldn't find a way to support the cuff on the lowered arm in a way that let me remove the support without snapping off his middle finger; I was pleased to find this filament did quite a respectable job on the overhang even so (see pics). To be clear, I did support the fingertips, just not the cuff in front or behind them.I defintely didn't get a ruler, build surface, or opaque bag like some reviewers did; packaging must have changed sometime in the last five years.I really appreciate the thoroughness of the spool sticker in giving not only the recommended printing temperatures, but also the recommended print speed and empty spool weight. Some brands of filament don't list spool weight anywhere, meaning you have to eyeball whether there's enough filament left on a roll to finish a print. Ugh.I also like the fact that the spools are cardboard, since 3d printing creates enough waste already. (Yes, PLA is theoretically recyclable, but you can't recycle it at most municipal recycling facilities.) However, it's my understanding that cardboard doesn't necessarily play nice with certain printers in which the roll rests on a surface rather than being suspended from a bar through its middle; I can't speak to whether the "upgraded reinforced edges" Overture touts fix that issue.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great buy. I will purchase again.

I have tried several brands of filament over the last several years of printing, and when I first tried Overture, I really liked it. Unfortunately, at the time, the printer I had (the Ender 5 Pro) had ALL sorts of issues, and so while the filament worked really well when I was able to get good prints, the times that the printer didn't fail were few and far between and I wasted a decent amount of filament. Got a Prusa MK4 back in October (which I HIGHLY recommend!) and in the past month and a half have used two full 2 kg spools of Overture, and two 1 kg spools, with nearly non-stop virtually failure free printing. The details I have been able to get with this combo of printer and filament have been amazing, and while I will still print small things off that have a lot of detail using the resin printer I have, due to FDM supports having a tendency to rip off small details still (it seems better than it was, but I haven't been able to tweak it enough to keep the small stuff from breaking off trying to remove them), but the bigger models and prints that I have done so far have been great! I would liken the quality of these prints to where resin printing was back around the pre-mono screen resin printing days, or slightly better, which is absolutely amazing for an FDM printer. I have had relatively little stringing, although if I do have any it's typically between really small details, such as the teeth in the dragon's mouth, but it's been easy enough to clean off.That said, I've already bought two more 2 kg spools of white PLA, one of which I've already started printing from since I got it yesterday, and will be buying another 2 kg of black so that I can print the helmet of the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail movie for my 2025 Halloween costume!

Not so matched color, weird

good product good price shows up fast.

WORST FILAMENT I’VE EVER HAD!!!MANAGES TO FAIL IN EVERY SINGLE WAY! FROM CALIBRATION CUBES TO FIDGETS, THIS COULDN’T PRINT SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! I keep track of wasted filament for each type as a percentage, and this is in 1st by a mile with 20% going to waste.Regradless how much I slow the speed to where a 3D pen would be faster, it still fails. It just doesn’t stick to the bed and warps as well. Also, it needs to be so slow anyways. DO NOT BUY THIS! YOU WILL REGRET IT! THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER RANDOM PERSON DOING AN ANGRY REVIEW, I HAVE USED SO MANY FILAMENTS AND THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST. just spend the few extra bucks for a better brand.

I've been buying lots of PLA filament recently, and this one is definitely one of the best. This one doesn't jam at all, it comes out of the nozzle smoothly. I haven't had a single problem with this one, it is extremely reliable. It also fits in the AMS and doesn't shift or anything. For reference, I use a bambu P1S.
