OVERTURE PLA Plus (PLA+) Filament 1.75mm, Stronger & More Durable, Professional Toughness 3D Printer Filament 1kg (2.2lbs), High Precision +/- 0.02mm, Tangle-Free (Black)

This is decent filament but isn't anything special and is very overpriced. Print quality is similar to ordinary Overture PLA and overhangs and details aren't any better. This is in contrast to some other PLA+ brands that offer superior print quality and colors. I cannot speak to the improved impact resistance that Overture claims as I use other materials for those types of applications.For what it's worth, I like Overture's ordinary PLA and it is the main PLA I use. This one is just too expensive and doesn't offer anything beyond ordinary PLA for me. If I wanted a tougher material, I would use something like PETG, ABS, nylon or polycarbonate.Edit: When I originally wrote this, Overture's standard PLA was still significantly cheaper than their PLA+. Now that they have increased the price of their ordinary PLA to the point that it costs almost as much as their PLA+, I consider both to be quite overpriced.

I've been using Overture PETG and I've been very happy with my results. I needed some white PLA, and when I read a review that said that Overture PLA didn't stick, I had to see if that was the case of if it's just another case of bad bed cleaning and a poor approach to 3d Printing that might be the cause.So I ordered a role of Overture's Pro PLA for some battery boxes I build for 26650 LiFEPO4 batteries. My normal process is to wash the bed with soap and water and then do a final cleaning with IPA just before printing. In the first picture you'll note I'm laying this PLA down on an unwashed bed to see if it sticks. First layer was perfect. In the second picture you can see the final product. No supports and it printed fine. Stiffness and strength seem fine, but I have no way to test that other than my subjective experience.If you've not been long into the 3d printing world, you likely won't know that you really should do a printer calibration and a filament calibration, especially when you switch from PLA to Pro PLA, or PETG, or ABS. You can't just buy a roll of "THIS" and expect that you'll have success with whatever settings you were using with the previous roll. I did print some smaller parts where I had some first layer failures. Took the bed off, cleaned it, placed a thin layer of glue stick on it, raised the temp from 205 to 215 for the first layer and back to normal with all the small parts printing to completion.It printed just fine for me on both large and small prints and should I need Pro PLA again, I wouldn't hesitate to buy Overture.As a footnote, I really wanted to print this on the Build Surface they send along with each roll, but I didn't want others to think this might have influenced the adhesion of the first layer. Happy Printing.

Just received my first roll of Overture PLA+. I hoped for the Space Gray but got black (see below). Regardless, I decided to proceed with printing and testing of the accuracy / temperature range. The first print I did was the Benchy Boat. I printed at 205c, 60mm/s, 0.2mm layer height, 60c bed, with a 20-line brim (to help with adhesion). I simply clicked print, waited for the first 3 brim lines to lay down, then walked away! Returned later than afternoon to find an ALMOST perfect Benchy sitting on the print bed. There was a visible 'seam' on the back of the boat, which I had never noticed with other Benchy's. It could have been an error on my part. The overall 'look and feel' of the boat was a bit more rigid/rough than standard PLA.. That is to say, it LOOKED amazing, and NO issues with the arch, overhang on the bow, or the doorway gap. Just, in general, the model doesn't 'feel' as smooth as some of the standard PLA prints I've done.. Minor gripe. Also, I'm not extremely happy with 'black' as it just doesn't allow for highlights/shadows of details in models. Not the product's fault, it was Amazon's.The second print I performed was the 'Temperature Tower'. This was the first time I've ever printed a Temperature Tower before, and I tried to print it (twice) without any additional bed adhesion (brim or raft). It failed both times after about the second tower printed. Lost adhesion and started creating 'yarn' or filament on the print bed.. For the third "Temperature Tower", I decided to print with, again, a 20line brim, and it worked perfectly.. And, amazingly(!), EVERY single temperature between 190 and 230 looks nearly identical. Zero stringing, Zero sag, nothing that would distinguish the temperatures from one another, aside from the gloss. This material seems to be more 'glossy' on the higher end 210c+ and more matte at the 190-200c range. Layer lines/lamination did not appear to be an issue.I'll continue to print and monitor with the adhesion. It could just very well be the temp tower (it has a very small footprint). If it becomes a larger issue, I'll update the review.PS - About COLOR: I Purchased the "Space Gray" color of Overture PLA+ from Amazon, but received plain "Black".. Looking now, at the screenshots, it appears even the photos represent plan "Black".. I believe Amazon has mistakenly labeled the "Black" color as "Space Gray".. Be aware, if you order "Space Gray" you will 99% receive "Black"UPDATE: Used almost 800g of the spool now and adhesion issues are VERY MINOR. Raised rating to 5 stars. I went through a 4-day torture test print of a full-size cosplay helmet and it worked flawlessly.. No jams, no sags, no stringing, and the part feels VERY durable.. I'm happy.

I generally use ESUN but there was a deal on the Overture filament that I couldn't' pass up.I'm quite happy with the quality of the Prints that I am getting out of it, lots of little star wars party gifts this year. But i did notice that the filament itself can't take much of a bend or it will snap. Not a problem as long as your feeding it in quite straight and direct.I also had to adjust my printer nozzle temp down to 210 other wise it was a bit inconsistent.Would buy again.

This is my 2nd spool of filament, so please take my word as a newbie.I printed some detailed parts that will be used for a laser cutting machine. These parts were suppose to be 20mm and as you can see by the photos, this filament nailed it!I am using an Ender 3 with 0 mods. I started the bed at 60C and dropped to 50C after the initial layer. Same for the nozzle. 210C layer than 200C for the rest.ZERO issues with adhesion. Check your leveling people, or your build surface. Clean it or replace it.This PLAPro/PLA+ Feels it. I can tell its firmer and doesn't mar as easy.If you want tougher prints but are not ready for ABS, check this guy out.

Overall good quality, and reliable prints. The kids really enjoy this color in particular for their toys. (yes, they wanted a blue hulk for some reason). No real complaints so far, haven't had to babysit the printer settings much at all with this filament.

This brand of PLA is printing perfectly! I print between 190 and 205, on a 60° bed.The stuff will work great to help calibrate a new printer since it’s so easy to print with. 10/10

Product runs smooth with minimal distortion. We build some tool holders for the back of a work van and they are holding up great.
