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)

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.

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.

I’ve used several PLA brands over the years and OVERTURE continues to impress. This black PLA prints beautifully with great adhesion, smooth layers, and minimal stringing even on detailed prints. The dimensional accuracy is very consistent, and I haven’t had a single clog or jam in my Ender 3 or Prusa MK3S Plus.One thing I really appreciate is the cardboard spool. It’s sturdy, recyclable, and doesn’t warp like some plastic spools. The filament is also wound cleanly with no tangles from start to finish.Highly recommend this filament to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality PLA. Whether you are printing hobby models or functional parts, this filament delivers consistent and professional results.

Love this brand and had a great experience with this filament. No bad prints, no deformities or defects, no adhesion issues, no stringy spaghetti piles, no foul odors, and the color matches what you see in the spool. Looks great, feels great, and has a price that is very easy to live with.

I'm new to 3d printing but I doubt this is common. I've only tested the black and white filament, but they both have this issue. When I've finished a print and leave the printer for a day or so, I'll come back and find that if there's any slight angle left in the filament where it's fed into the machine, it'll break there. Likewise, even just weaving the filament through the holes in the spool that are designed for that results in the filament breaking after about a day. I've started to get in the habit of turning off my machine with the z axis set much higher to keep the spool from sitting with an angle which could notably could be a design flaw of my machine Jgmaker magic, but having the filament break just from storing it is frustrating. Both of these result in the filament unwinding and wasted filament, which sucks.That frustration aside, it prints great. It adheres very well to the print bed (perhaps too well). The quality is very good too, with virtually no anomalies throughout big prints. All of my prints have been pretty clean and consistent. All in all it's great filament. Just be careful when letting it sit for prolonged periods of time. If it's left with any semi-hard angle, it'll break there.
