OVERTURE PLA Filament 1.75mm with 3D Build Surface 200mm x 200mm 3D Printer Consumables, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05 mm, Fit Most FDM Printer, Black

As someone who prints regularly for both functional parts and hobby models, I’ve gone through several brands of PLA. OVERTURE’s purple filament is one of the better options I’ve used, especially at this price point. Pros: Color & Finish: The purple hue is vibrant without being garish. It has a nice semi-gloss finish that really pops on detailed prints like figurines and display pieces. Winding & Spool: The spool is neatly wound, which matters more than most people realize — no tangles or snags, which means fewer failed prints due to filament jams or inconsistent feeding. Print Performance: Layer adhesion is solid. I printed at 200°C with a 60°C bed and got smooth, clean results with minimal stringing. It handled retraction and bridging well, even on more complex geometries. Compatibility: Works great with my Ender 3 V2 and also performed well on a Prusa MK3S+. I’ve gone through nearly the entire spool without any noticeable inconsistencies or clogging. Cons: Not the strongest PLA: While the surface quality is excellent, this isn’t the toughest PLA I’ve worked with. If you need something more impact-resistant or functional under stress, you might want to look at PLA+ or PETG. Slight odor when printing: Nothing overpowering, but there’s a noticeable sweet-plastic smell during printing. It’s not unpleasant — just something to be aware of if printing in a small space. Final Verdict: For hobbyists, cosplay builders, and general-purpose 3D printing, OVERTURE’s PLA delivers reliable performance and vibrant results. It’s especially good for decorative prints or detailed models. Not quite industrial-grade, but it’s consistent, beginner-friendly, and well-priced. I’ll definitely be buying more colors from this brand.

I love the look of this shade of blue. It's often referred to royal blue or midnight blue. It also prints quite well on all my FDM printers at stock settings. I've used this filament with zero issues on the following printers: Mingda Magician X, Mingda Magician X2, FlashForge Adventurer 5M, and Bambu Lab P1S with AMS. This filament will get very brittle over time and will break apart pretty easily at that point if not kept in proper storage, but even then, it prints somewhat well. Good material for standard FDM printing. Works well for 3d printed ocarinas!

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.

Always a great product by OVERATURE. Color is amazing and print quality is great. Will continue to order.

used it on my first 3d printer, an A1. works great! nice shade, but Bambu Lab does not have it in its filament setup, so be cautious of that. the size is pretty good, printed the scraper in the files the A1 has, and used 37 grams. does not look like it lost anything! the adhesion is great. easy to pop off! but for $20? I don't know... its pretty good.
