OVERTURE Filament Consumables Dimensional Accuracy Reviews Summary

Print Quality

Pros:

• "when it works it looks sooooo good."
• "The filament is good and strong."
• "This is the current brand I like to use for 3D printing. It’s super strong and prints well."
• "It prints well, adheres well, seldom clogs."
• "This PLA took more adjustments to print than other brands I have used. It prints okay and is durable."
• "So far I've been getting really good prints with this stuff. It holds detail really well and prints nicely. Layer lines are barely visible."
• "The print quality is nice and sticks to the bed very well."
• "While I love Overture’s PLA Filament ... I am a professional 3D Printer and I print with it exclusively."

Cons:

• "The resulting product felt a little 'cheap' and almost a little less opaque then our normal filament."
• "The white is not a very solid color, almost has a semi-translucent look to it."
• "I am running this on a new CR 10S. I have printed a ton of covid masks on it, so it has seen 150 hours of use. Put a new spool of grey on two days ago and the line kept getting tangled on the spool, and there was a kink 70 M into the spool."
• "The entirety of the filament is tangled on the spool, and I lost about 20m of filament due to it arriving cracked and broken at random points."
• "This stuff doest feed properly or something I'm currently sitting and watching it print and the roll gets stuck."
• "I've been using Overture filament for a while now and I'm mostly happy with it. But the last roll I purchased was wound poorly, knotted and almost failed before I unknotted it."
• "The filament itself is just fine but I experience frequent tangles due to poor spooling."
• "Okay but the thickness is not consistent. I thought its my printer initially but filament from other brand worked perfectly, didn't see any powder near extruder ensuring consistent thickness."

Adhesion and Clogging Issues

Pros:

• "After drying for a few hours this printed beautifully."
• "I game bought overture filament for years and always had great success."
• "Layer adhesion was good."
• "This filament performs well at 210 degrees. The color is true."
• "Update: After more and more use land test I think I dialed the temps and speed in."

Cons:

• "The additives that make it look silky also cause layer adhesion issues."
• "I started a 21 hour print and 3 hours in, it clogged."
• "For some reason one printed fine, I emptied the roll, and the other is having constant layer adhesion issues."
• "Man I wanted to like this one... Unfortunately, it just seemed to clog more than normal."
• "You have to have a very finely tuned printer with settings perfect to get any quality prints from this silk PLA. It tends to clog fast and gum up the hot end."
• "Almost every roll of Overture filament I’ve purchased has snagged or tangled in some way."
• "I've tried lots of different temperatures and I just can't get this to print as nicely as Hatchbox filament. Adhesion is fine and I am happy to save $5, but I am selling pieces and this is just not high enough quality for a finished product."
• "I tried to use the PLA but it kept breaking; I contacted customer support and they responded within 24 hours to gather all the information about that lot of PLA as well as sent out replacement PLA."
