OVERTURE Matte PLA 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm, Matt Surface & Low Warping Filament 1kg Spool (2.2 lbs), Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, Fit Most FDM Printers (Matte Chocolate)

I’m Giving a 3 star review because it was shipped in a timely matter packaged well and sealed. Idk if I got a bad roll or what but I cannot get my printer to print with it. It starts out fine then moments later starts stringing and sends an alert for tangled filament. Extracted cleaned up tried again and same issue except the second time it wouldn’t print at all. Extracted it and added a new roll of pla blue and it’s printed with all 4 of my other colors just fine. This isn’t a “bad” review beings I do my research and saw nothing but great reviews. I may try another roll in the future.

I exclusively use Overature PLA in my printers because I know the melt points and what works well for me and my printer (ender 3 max, anycubic vyper). Overall the product is of consistent quality, however that brings me to an annoyance. Recently I was printing and had some odd issues that seemed like over extrusion so i made a few changes in the slicer but the problems persisted. I went to measure the filament and to my shock the filament was 1.80-1.81mm OD which meant i was over extruding as it wasn't 1.75mm as stated. I created a custom PLA profile for 1.805mm splitting the difference and the over extrusion issue seems to have gone away for the most part, now i need to check calibration of esteps. you could say that this was isolated and solely to a single roll, however i checked across the dozen or so rolls in various levels of use, various colors and all of my filament was in the range of 1.80-1.82mm. You could also say the calipers i used were garbage but they weren't cheap garbage. I use an affordable imported brand from amazon on my printers but when I want to check precision i use my MITUTOYO calipers, which also yielded the same OD for the filament. that said you will find material as quality, but you will want to check the diameter of the filament or you might have some extrusion issues like I did.

The filament heats fine, looks good, howver, it has tangle from print # 1 :/

Use to only use OVERTURE filament, but not any more. Unsure what the company has done, but the last 2 rolls I purchased have defects in the material. At first, I though it was my settings. But after successfully printing with older rolls of material and new material from another manufacturer (FUGACITY), I ruled the settings out. Do not buy from this company.
