i bought it because usually pink colour is cheaper than other and what a surprise it was, the adhesion on the bed was better than other “good product” i have used in the past.
Ive always just bought the cheapest PLA but bins of dead plastic spools made me seek an alternative. This PLA is not expensive by any means and worth it to have a card spool. The print quality has always been great, the matt finish is really nice. Cant complain its my new favourite brand.
I’ve been doing some printing of car components and tried out this matte black PLA. Great results straight away with very high print quality. The finish very good and matches well with other plastic components in the vehicle. I will certainly be buying more and will try out some of their other filaments.
Great colour and one of the best results i have had from filament. I generally use Flashforge Matte but this is equal the quality and i think Overture have a better range of colours.
I have printed a range of items now and the filament has very good adhesion without having to use higher temps.
Good quality for the value. As you can see in the second image, the Z seam is less noticeable than with a lot of filaments I’ve used too. Printed at 0.2mm layer height on a stock Creality Ender 3 (except for a different print bed).
having most my prints with Esun be around 190H 70B which works fantastic on, the Overture Rock took some time and failed prints but 205H 60B seems to work best on this i also found it needs a brim and first layer had to go down at 10 rather than the usual 20 i start with hopefully if your having issues getting it to stick this might help you (Creality Ender 5 Pro Glass Bed) [each person result may very due to there environment]
Extremely happy with this filament, I bought the brown to print a board game called The Royal Game of Ur.
This was the first time I have used this brand and I’ll definitely be switching to this as a first choice, the finish was extremely neat, it came out very smooth, I find that is slightly more flexible before printing than other filaments I’ve used. I’ve printed the pictures file two other times and I’d say this is is on par with one of the another brands, but with smother layer lines and the bonus selling point that this comes on a cardboard reel.
I have mixed feelings about this PLA. The quality of the actual material is good, the color is nice and looks as advertised but when the print is done, you will see some problems here and there. Not big problems but for example you will see small holes at the edges where it changes direction. Really strange. Also you have to keep it in your build plate for like 5-10 minutes after finished to make sure it cools down because mine started to bend as soon as I tried to remove it after finishing the print. So need to wait like 10 minutes before I ran safely remove it.
It can make some very decent prints and leaves a quality feels to the surface, but I had issues with adhesion.
If your first layer is a large, flat, simple shape it will adhere most of the time; it struggles with smaller rapid movements though and you will definitely need to use a brim in this case – but that’s still no guarantee.
If you can get first layer down without any issues then you’re usually safe the rest of the print.
Torn whether to purchase again, great product when it works but frustrating at times.
Edited: I’ve flipped the glass over to print on the alfawise build base and it sticks perfectly.
It’s not to bad, I thought the colour was going to be more darker. Not to bad a stuff.
PROs: Low cost, cardboard spool, excellent finish
CONs: None found
Bought this filament in matt pink and matt blue to print moneyboxes for the grandkids. I was a little cautious because of the low price for 1kg but after good results went on to buy more Overture colours and I’m just as impressed with those. The matt colours are a good low-sheen finish and the silk provides a wonderful shiny print.
Don’t be put off by the price tag – this filament worked well for me and consistently through the reel and across different reels.
The pictures are of the matt pink, matt light blue and silk blue filaments.

I usually buy Primavalue filament as i have great results with them.
I bought these on sale as they seemed good value but i really liked the cardboard spool as i always felt these were a waste.
Having done a few prints i like the finish which is matt like. Printing one object on teh plate gives teh best results so far.
When i have multiple objects i get terrible stringing and i haven’t been able to correct this yet at different temperatures.
Overall i’m happy but will continue to work out the stringing problem and update my review if i get better results.
This was one of the first spools of filament I ordered after buying my printer, and now a few months of printing I feel I can share my opinion on this brand of filament, and I have to say it is the best of all the filaments I have purchased from Amazon. The spool is well made and the filament is well loaded on, and does not seem to be too sensitive to humidity. The prints I have done with this filament have all been superb, and the matte finish really suits the prints I have done. I can thoroughly recommend this brand of filament.
I really liked that this came with a printing mat as I was have adhesion issues. It’s well packaged and comes with handy indicators to show approximately how many grams are left on the reel.
It also has 4 sets of holes around the reel to keep the ends secure.
Print quality seems fine to me, it’s a kind of dusty pink colour.
Brought this on a whim as I’d not tried any stone effect filaments before, and was really happy with the results.
It has a really weird stone _feel_ to it, which I’ve not had with any other PLA filament and really liked. For the first project I printed up some coat hooks, and after seeing how they came out, printed a spice rack for my kitchen.
One think to be wary of is this filament is REALLY hydroscopic, and I left it on the printer in relatively high humidity for a few weeks before my next project, and found that it was ruined. I tried to dry at 50c for 10 hours but the thermostat on my food dehydrator must be wonky and it partially melted the spool and filament nearer the heating element, trashing the spool. I’ve brought another spool as I have a ton more projects I want to do with this.
For the next spool I’ll be making sure to re-vacuum bag it between prints!
Printing on an ender 3 pro, with 0.4mm nozzle, at 200c and pretty high travel ~70mm/s with no problems.
Having not used Overture before, I thought that I would give it a try.
Initially, I had a bad experience. Poor bed adhesion and edge curling using my Prusa MK3S+. Down the line, I took delivery of a Bambu Lab A1 mini which had a setting within Bambu Studio slicer for this filament. So I gave it another shot and it turned out great! So I copied the filament setting over to p
PrusaSlicer and spent a couple of days tramming the bed and getting my z-height just right for the first layer. I eventually got it like a sheet of celluloid. Now it is my preferred filament. Why faff around with something new if it works? Especially after all that research. 219 degrees hotend and 65 degrees bed was the sweet spot for me. I’m glad that I stuck at it now.
It comes supplied with an adhesive print sheet that measures approximately 20cm x 20cm. A nice freebie for those that own a printer with a very small bed.
I’d like to give it a full 5 stars but my filament came in a vacuum sealed bag that was punctured. The outer filament on the roll had taken on moisture so the initial prints were coupled with an unwelcome backing track of ‘Snap, Crackle and Pop’. This also affected the print quality. After drying the filament it printed much better (see photos) but in 5 years of 3D printing I’ve never been sent filament in a failed vacuum sealed packet. That was an additional pain and a disappointment, so 4 stars. But apart from the issue I experienced it’s very nice filament.
Printer and Setup:
Elegoo Neptune 2 – unmodified cooling/heating, standard FDM mount, feeder and fittings. Glass print bed, stock heater on the bed, 0.4mm Brass Nozzle.
So initially as per some other reviewers, I suffered issues with random snapping of the filament mid print. Thoroughly frustrating, and nothing I have experienced on other colours of the Overture Brand. Not to be deterred by this – I looked into what could be causing it.
What I found: The reel was wound very tightly. This normally – is not a bad thing. However, as this filament does appear a little stiffer than other brands – I lessened the angle it was drawing from – I.E. moved the spool mounting back so it was not pulling so hard on the draw into the printer.
Also – the feed wheel into the extruder has very little wiggle room, so I loosened off the feed wheel slightly, which is moved by the friction contact with the motor-driven spindle opposite and the filament itself. I also reset this spindle’s height (as they have a habit of slipping) and tightened the set screws back up on this.
Outcome – Far superior printing with this filament since doing this and zero breakages on multiple hours of printing, fitting the same standard as other Overture filament colours I have used. Printing at 50mm/s, 200 degrees head temp, 50 degrees bed temp.
