OVERTURE PLA Matte Filament 1.75mm with 3D Printer Build Surface 200mm ?? 200mm, Light Gray Matte PLA Roll 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05 mm, Fit Most FDM Printer

I was excited to try Overture's Matte PLA filament, hoping to achieve a unique aesthetic for my 3D prints. Unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of disastrous.Using this filament with my Flashforge Adventurer 4 has been a constant struggle. Adhesion is the primary issue. No matter settings I use, the first layer refuses to stick reliably. This leads to failed prints, wasted filament, and endless frustration.Even when I manage to get a print to stick, the results are disappointing. The finished prints lack strength, feeling flimsy and overly flexible. This makes them unsuitable for any application requiring durability.In contrast, I've had better success with Flashforge's orange Matte PLA. It prints smoothly, adheres a bit better, and produces stronger parts. This comparison has led me to believe that Matte PLA, in general, might be more challenging than standard PLA, but the Overture brand is particularly problematic.It may work better in different printer but this have been my experience with the Adventurer 4.

I needed a filament that best matched Haze Grey and that wasn't going to cost me a couple hundred dollars for a color calibrated filament. US Navy Ships are painted in 2 colors on the exterior, Haze Grey and Deck Grey. The grey color you see when you look a Carrier or a Destroyer is Haze Grey, Deck grey is a darker grey and is usually painted on the floor of traversed spaces aka where a sailor may step on. I needed something that was close after a lot of research I bought 3 grey PLA's and of the 3, this was the closet in color.The ship I printed was 1/700th scale using a .2mm Nozzle and a .08 nozzle layer height. I used an Ender 3 Pro and I printed on a piece of G10 heated up to 60 degrees. I had lot a bunch of trouble getting this to stick at first. I refuse to use glue sticks, hair sprays, etc to make them stick and I almost caved here. I think the problems with getting this to stick deal with the smaller surface area of a .2mm nozzle. I found if I used a brim of at least 8mm in diameter then I had a much better chance of getting it to stick. if you look at the one picture you can see my thumb, to get an idea of how small some of the parts were. I had some stringing on some of the smaller parts but because of how long these take to print and the fact I knew I was going to do some post processing I wasn't too worried.I also tried some larger prints using a .6mm nozzle and these had no issues at all. I printed some PCB din rail holders since I already had this filament queued up and the filament had no issues with sticking or stringing.The matte color does a really good job of hiding the layer lines you can still see them in the right light or up close.This is the first time I've ever tried this brand. I generally stick to the same 1-2 brands that I know and trust. I have mixed feeling amount wether I would buy more from this same company. on the one hand I had a lot of trouble when printing really small but on the other with larger nozzles I've had no problems. this is problem due to a lack of experience with printing really small, fine detail models.

This is my first time using Overture PLA, having used their PETG with good success. My Ender 3 V2 struggled to print this stuff well as it would pop and crackle and have poor extrusion. It's not my first time dialing printing PLA, having gone through 7 different rolls from various brands over the last year. It also wasn't wound as well as their PETG, which was wound perfectly.

Used this filament to print a small enclosure for a 7" Ingcool display. Smooth print job, no stringing, but I still need to do some tuning to get the smoother surface.

This produced prints with a nice matte finish and virtually no stringing. It adhered to the bed just right and showed minimal warping. I'd certainly recommend it.
