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

UPDATE: the black PLA is quite good. the white is still just ok.
UPDATE: Amazon does not let me do a separate review for the black PLA, so I am updating this one. I like the black PLA a lot. The surface finish can be a smooth matte black at lower temperatures or glossy at higher. It does have a tendency to warp on smooth steel along with textured PEI, I have to use gluestick and turn the print fan down. But that totally depends on your print surface and other factors, I cannot say for sure if that is a universal issue with Overture Black PLA. Overall I would give the black PLA a 4.5 out of 5 and the white PLA a 4 out of 5. It is some of the better PLA I’ve used.— Older review for the white PLA —These spools claim a consistent diameter of 1.75 give or take 0.05. Most spools I buy claim the same however I have not once actually /seen/ this amount of variance when measuring the diameter. Most spools seem to measure lows and highs of 1.73 – 1.76. Within a one foot stretch of this filament I can see 1.70 to 1.8mm depending on where I measure. That is within the product’s described tolerance so I cannot fault it for that. But I cannot wonder if it is the cause of the slight variance in printed layers that is visible when under direct light. Printed 210/72 Prusa MK3S with full Bear Upgrade, textured PEI sheet. Pictures are after some basic extrusion multiplier adjustment and LA calibration @ .2mm layer height.Like any filament purchase there are far too many variables to judge quality off of the finished print. Not to mention differences in color and batch. I have had small difficulties with adhesion but again that could just be me. I have not yet tried the black roll that I ordered.So to summarize, if you see it and it’s cheap and you aren’t nutty about quality or consistency, it’s fine. However it is not my favorite. It is OK and gets the job done.

Works well on Bambu A1, with some easy tweaks
Worked well in my Bambu Lab A1, with some slight tweaks. I found that lowering the nozzle temp to 210, and keeping the heatbed on 65 or 70 let this print perfectly. If using the stock Overture settings on the A1 I had some adhesion issues, and would get some stringing on larger flat surfaces, but the settings I mentioned above cleared that right up.Very affordable filament and looks great when printed.

Excellent Material
I have used many different brands of PLA and my usual “go-to” was no longer Prime so I thought I’d give this a shot.Pros:Prints fantastic, layer adhesion is excellent, build plate adhesion is…well see below, filament appears to be very uniform in size.Free build plate surface (has a con, see below)Free rulerCons:I took the included build plate surface, stuck it to my borosilicate glass bed that I have been printing on for over 4 years using glue sticks. Very nice surface! Printed a lithophane lamp shade and proceeded to have to destroy my glass to get it unstuck. I tried every trick in the book, heating the bed to 110c, using a Gizmodorks removal tool, putting the whole thing in a deep freeze for 10 hours and nothing. In the end the glass finally gave up the battle, broke and piece by very tiny little piece I was able to pick away the glass and the building surface.So, in the end, I would highly recommend this filament however if you are going to use the included building surface, make some small test prints and adjust your bed adhesion layer till you find the happy medium between adhesion and removal.For my printer and settings, I start with 210c hot end and 70c bed for first layer then drop to 200c and 60c the rest of the print with no cooling. Very happy with the results!

Works Great
Works great – good price.

Best PLA!

~Edited at the end after using up the roll~I’ve had to switch from the previous brand I had (Duramic) because it’s no longer available and opted for this one. So far, I haven’t managed a single print without any issues. Tangled twice, broke three times and clogged once, had to replace the tube entirely. I’m worried about leaving it alone because it keeps causing issues. The last time it broke, I had to pause mid-print, pull out the filament to avoid it clogging again and as I was grabbing the filament with a 2-fingered feather grip light enough to caress a newborn, it broke again in my hand. None of this ever happened with the other filaments I’ve used. It’s done nothing but cost me money for things like new bowden tubing and print heads and waste my time with failed prints and cleanup. Not a single successful print so far. To top it off, it’s very stringy and bridges poorly, but that might be because I haven’t found the right settings for this particular PLA (which I won’t be using for long anyway).One little tiny thing that’s noteworthy about it though is that from the little bit I did manage to extrude without it breaking on me, the layers are nice and smooth compared to the old filament, adhesion is really good. Shame.EDIT: After the initial problems and some research, I learned that tangling is due to user error, not the factory. I still wouldn’t get this filament again despite it printing nicely and adhering well, It’s still prone to clogging and very brittle. It also tends to adhere a bit TOO well and leave residue, even at lower bed and head temps (flexible magnetic bed). Once you do get a print out of it though, the finish is nice and the quality is overall very good. For comparison, I’ve switched filament again and it’s sturdy even when bent, doesn’t clog and prints well.
