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,2-Pack)

I've been wanting to try PLA + for a while now and decided to try this. I've had an overall good experience with Overture filament. And in summary, this filament has been great. It prints well, and prints produced at appropriate heat and speeds are pointedly less brittle than standard PLA prints. My only gripe is this filament is rather hygroscopic. Diving in to details, again, I've had zero issues with printing with this filament. I've ran this filament through 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.0 mm nozzles ( I have multiple printers) and have never had any clogs or adhesion issues, even when I ran prints far too quickly. I also gratefully note that I haven't had any tangles or snags in the filament windings. Returning to my note about heat and speeds, in my limited experience, this PLA extrudes and adheres better at hotter temps. For common PLA, I run a nozzle temp of 200-220 Celsius; For this PLA+, I've noticed better bed and layer adhesion and smoother extrusions at 220-240 Celsius. In terms of speed, I run it about the same as common PLA, with an overall average of 60 mm/sec. I'll go as slow as 20 mm/sec for small, delicate prints and up to 80 mm/sec for larger, rougher prints. Again, I've noticed this filament is rather hygroscopic. I'll be completely honest here; I do 3D printing as a hobby only, so I'm quite careless about my filaments, leaving them in the open on the printers for a week or more. When they aren't on the printers, I do keep them in a sealed storage box but I'm digressing here; With a fair amount of filament from other vendors, I can leave the filament out and only after weeks of leaving it out will I see the slightest sign of moisture in the filament. After only a few days of sitting out, this filament popped, fizzled and even bubbled the next time I used it, there was so much moisture in it. Since this is a result of my carelessness, I won't dock stars for this. But I feel it's worth noting that great care must be taken to keep this filament dry.... Oh, and I forgot to note that I live in a dry, arid region. Finally, to return to my mention of strong prints. Again, this PLA+ isn't harder than PLA, it's actually softer, gummier. This lends it more strength because instead of prints directly snapping, prints that are overstressed will simply stretch, bend and compress until surfaces slowly peel apart, like sticky gummy candy, and/or separate at a layer line. Some time ago, I 3D printed a holding box for a LiFe battery. I messed up some dimensions, so although the box printed well, I couldn't use it. That box was printed from PLA and I decided to see how brittle PLA was. When I smashed it, it literally shattered. Fast forward to printing with this, I printed another battery box, for a different battery, and once again messed up some dimensions. Remembering that I smashed the old box to see how the PLA reacted, I decided to do the same to this new, scrapped box. It wouldn't shatter....Heck, it wouldn't even break any pieces off! The box split across several layer lines, but after several minutes of smashing the box, it was still literally in one piece, albeit split many times. I've got a big project planned that's likely going to use all of this up, but if I have any remaining, I'm going to print a small decorative object and put it outside. I'm curious as to how well this stuff resists the elements. But overall, I'm very satisfied with this filament and will get more as the need arises!

**Second update** Trying to buy more. Looks like Amazon can't keep enough in stock that it's backordered. One of the two brands/filaments I keep coming back to because of how well it differentiates itself from the crowd of competitors. **First Update** Since using up my first spool of Overture PLA Pro (PLA+), I've ventured into trying other brands and other types of plastics including for various reasons (different properties e.g. strength, exposure resistance, colors, cost), and none have been as easy and forgiving to use as Overture's PLA Pro. Prints using other filaments often look as if they have been visited by a family of itsy-bitsy spiders. Even after optimizing for retraction, temperature, print speed; other filaments still exhibit a relatively greater degree of wispy stringing that need post-production cleaning. Overture's PLA Pro has spoiled me rotten with very little to no stringing on virtually all printed parts. As much as I love to tinker, I'd prefer spending more tinker time on design than optimizing extrusion settings; I'm going back to Overture for PLA because I just want my filament to "work." **Original Review** I bought and used this as my starter filament for my Ender 3 v2. As a novice to 3d printing, this is the very first filament I've ever used in my life (I skipped using the short wrap of starter sample PLA filament included by Ender). My very first print ever came out almost perfect using settings that fall within Overture's recommended nozzle/bed temp and print speed (my settings: nozzle 210C, bed 60C, print speed 60mm/s, fan 20-100%). Prints adhered to the glass bed very firmly and were hard to knock over during printing, but prints easily released once the bed cooled down (the trick is to make sure the Ender OEM glass plate is very clean (i.e. clean with rubbing alcohol before each use). Even prints with very narrow footprints hung on (this recommendation does not apply to PETG, which needed an adhesive like glue stick or hairspray for good 1st layer adhesion). If any warping occurred, warping was very minimal and almost unnoticeable; I have not found it necessary to add a brim when using this filament. Adherence was very good, including in overhanging parts printed without support structures. Printed items are surprisingly strong (Overture advertises 5x strength over typical PLA); printed figurines with 15-20% infill resisted a dropped carpenter hammer at 4-6 inches without deformation. That is, prints have high rigidity (i.e. less plastic deformation than PETG), but once they they deform, they don't have much elasticity to return to their original shape and may instead fracture/break. Considering this is a variant of PLA, it's not intended for structural items, but it was much stronger than I expected it to be, very easy to use for a novice, and produced nice looking prints including litophanes. I would definitely recommend.

Great quality Filament. Printed a lot better than the unbranded Filament. Good price and no tangles while printing. I purchased the black and Gray colors and did not have any problem clogging. I ran on the bambu lab mini

AMAZING STRENGTH! very fast and beautiful accurate printing, no clogs, easy printing, i'm going to get all the colors of this SUPER PLA+.

Filament is very good and prints excellent even at slightly faster speeds. I knocked one star off because *every* roll of this filament that I have ordered comes with damaged cardboard spools. This forces me to have to respool the filament onto my plastic spools, taking extra time and using up a spare spool. The damage to the spools is usually a significant bend, enough to crack the cardboard even when the packaging doesn't show any damage. The damage must be occurring at the factory, or rough handling by Amazon. Cost is reasonable and delivery is fast.

This is a workhorse PLA. Looks good. Spool size is right for AMS. Not much of a smell to it, but that's PLA for you. Never had an Overture filament clog on me; that's to be expected as this is one of the better brand labelled PLAs. Color is solid - not transparent, not matte, but somewhere in between. The item pictured has sat around on my bookshelf so dusty, but shows the kind of detail this filament is capable of.

Filament had worked well so far. Great deal on the price, make sure you dry it, as with any filament. I have not experienced any clogging thus far, it has printed cleanly. I cannot stress enough how important a dryer is if you are new to printing. I purchased a cheap comgro? (Or something similar) Dryer for 40 bucks and it has made a huge difference in print quality. It flows as well as you can expect any PLA to flow. The color is nice, and it spools easily once dried.

Overture PLA PRO/+ prints much better than "ordinary PLA", is much stronger, has great adhesion (both interlayer and to my plate), and it looks great. Less (almost zero) stringing, less corner lift from my heated bed (but still some), otherwise very little warping and I've been able to print tall thin structures never before possible for me, and some overhangs that used to create long drooping loops of garbage! Note that I don't quite follow the rules: I print at 100mm/s, 50mm/s walls and top layers, only 20mm/s first layers, I print at 220C (because my hardened steel nozzle has poor thermal conductivity so I add 10C to compensate), my bed is at 90C.

Vraiment top ce pla, excellente qualité et la couleur est très belle

Articolo come da descrizione, tutto perfetto, ottimo materiale.

This PLA gives consistent results. It sticks to the bed without falling off while printing and still releases easy enough when done printing.

This PLA Plus filament is fantastic! It prints smoothly, and the finished products have a much stronger and more durable feel than regular PLA. The colors are vibrant, and the material holds up well over time. I’ve used it for several 3D printing projects, and it has consistently delivered great results. The filament is easy to work with and adheres well to the build plate. It also has less warping compared to standard PLA, making it ideal for larger prints. Highly recommend this filament if you’re looking for something that’s both strong and easy to print with!

Come da titolo, è un PLA ottimo costa un po' di più della media ma io non lo cambio più, aderenza fantastica e dettagli notevoli anche su parti piccole, ovviamente nei limiti del tipo di stampa. Preciso che non l'ho provato sul piatto originale della Ender 3 V2 che ho in quanto rovinato, l'ho utilizzato su questo piatto: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0C3G4VFHD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 La verniciatura a spruzzo tiene benissimo anche senza primer il cui uso rimane comunque sempre consigliato, ma ho fatto pochi esperimenti. In ogni caso consigliatissimo.
