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.

Quick and easy to use and runs smoothly through your prints and printer like butter on a knife with a strong consistency and filament quality and the colour is good Old fashioned matte black there isn’t that much of a smell and the print temperature remains consistent

I've been using Overture PLA filament for my 3D printing projects, and it has exceeded my expectations! The filament feeds smoothly without tangling or clogging, and the prints come out with excellent layer adhesion and minimal stringing. This is one of my go to filament brands. The colors are rich and vibrant, and the finish gives prints a professional look. I also appreciate that it’s eco-friendly and has very little odor while printing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced printer, Overture PLA is a reliable and high-quality choice. Highly recommend!

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.

This does some amazing prints. I really haven't tried any other brand of filament yet because the quality has been so great! This is my 4th spool and out of those 4, one had an issue, the filament some how got bound up and caused a couple failed prints, which was my own fault, since I had just changed colors and didn't tie up the loose end (lesson learned). A couple of my favorite Things I printed was the xenomorph (Alien) egg pen cup, Pokemon Eevee and a fan guard for the Ender 3. Plus I used it to print all the upgrade parts for an Anet A8 modification. Bed adhesion has been perfect, I've gotten into the habit of printing everything on rafts and haven't had a print fail due to bad adhesion, in fact some of them are tough to lift off the bed. The only adhesion problems were due to temperature issues caused by the Ender 3 board fan, which is directly below the print bed in the front left corner, this was solved with the fan guard, highly recommended if you buy an Ender 3. Every spool comes vacuum packed and includes a 200x200 print bed mat and a small ruler with inches on one side and metric on the other, very handy.

I'm using this filament with my Anycubic i3 Mega-S and it is working fine. Prints in a nice somewhat glossy black (Although the bottom layer that is against the base looks more matte) Seems to be a bit thicker (as in viscosity, not dimensions) than the original filament that came with my printer, and might benefit from being printed at a slightly higher temperature, although it seems to work just fine at the default print settings for my printer. When I first got the filament, I initially thought there might be some kind of problem, because with the filament that comes with the printer I can hit the "filament in" button, and it will extrude plastic forever if I let it. With this stuff, it extrudes for awhile, and then the feeder starts skipping. I think because it's a bit less viscous, the "filament in" just pushes the filament more quickly than it can extrude, and eventually pressure builds up to a point that the feeder can't overcome it. It was only after I ignored this and just tried a print that I realized it works fine. I am pretty new with 3d printing, and this is my first roll of non-stock filament, so I didn't really know what to expect. The scent from this filament while printing is maybe slightly more than the original filament, but still barely perceptible and not unpleasant. I have not tried the included build surface with this filament, but it seemed to work well with the Overture branded PETG that I tried it with. Adhesion is great and comparable to the stock filament as long as the gap between the nozzle and the print bed is correct. Comes in a resealable bag, which is super convenient! Also comes with a ruler, and the spool has markings on it (questionable accuracy?) to help you estimate how much filament you've used, and how much remains. (See pics) UPDATE: This is still great filament, so I haven't removed any stars or anything, but I did notice they've raised the price and it is now over $30 canadian for 1kg. I thought I had found my go-to brand for filament. Unfortunately at this price I will be looking at other options.

On my 5th roll of OVERTURE black for home projects. I have found that 2 of the 5 rolls tended to print items that were either too soft for general use or too brittle. They either scratched and gave way under pressure or were so brittle they broke ver easily.

worked well on the anycubic

Is good

This filament performs somewhat okay. There is definitely better out there. Use this stuff for pieces you don’t care about quality such as drafts or random house/garage prints.
