OVERTURE Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm, Metallic Shine Filament, 1kg Silk Gold

Prints great, came well packaged. The colors are beautiful together and look great!!

Excellent product! I used this PLA to print some miniature cacti on our P2S. After the initial base was done, I increased the speed to the fastest setting which is called Ludacris and it’s still printed beautifully. The variation from green yellow to bright green is very beautiful and gives the pieces a more realistic coloration. No string stringing/webbing and no issues while printing. I’m super happy with this and I’m excited to try some of the other color variations from overture.

This worked great, I generally hop between Overture, Creality, and Egeloo. I did find this a bit more brittle if you are printing delicate things (like mini figurines), so removing supports was more difficult. But it had a pretty good color, and shine to it. Definitely not the level of "gold" like fake pirate treasure coins you might by. It would be hard to describe so I'll just not try to do that. Printed great, no issues with feeding or clogs. Stuck the plate without issues as well. It's not high speed, which I'm more spoiled with though. So 70m/s vs 200-600m/s is a big difference. But generally it seemed to be able to handle faster speeds up to maybe 200 but depends on your printer.

I must give this company 5 stars for their high level of support which goes beyond what other filament suppliers might do when there are problems. In fact It may be that my own printer (Ender 3 Pro) is what’s responsible for the issues which kept me initially from being able to get any successful prints out of this purchase. I contacted the company and was offered a replacement roll as well as graciously sending me the recommended slicer settings. Iris has been patient and helpful. Thus far I’ve been able to successfully print some small pieces from the replacement roll using a seemingly endless number of variations of slicer settings. It is possible that the original roll may have been from a bad batch or maybe something changed on my printer which just happened to coincide with the purchase and use of this filament or maybe the Gold Silk just happens to be much trickier to work with than other materials. It is significant that when printing the same parts with the same printer, all other PLA and SILK filaments including one other Overture filament, always print perfectly for me without any clogging of the hot end. But as soon as I switch to the Overture Silk Gold, it is difficult to get a decent print. It’s perhaps a significant fact that printing with the replacement roll did somewhat decrease the frequency of clogging. Also changing the various parameters in Cura and running seemingly endless test prints on each change over the last few weeks has resulted in being able to successfully printed some objects. Take what you can from this incomplete write-up, because I am still unable to determine whether this material just doesn’t tolerate retraction or if indeed there is a problem with my printer. I don’t know. I will continue to try some other use cases with the replacement roll and (who knows?) future experience might reveal what is truly happening. All I can say for now is If you do buy this product, experienced it clogging your hot end as I have, and found a work around, I’d be very interested in knowing what the solution turned out to be. …will update this if the Gold Silk printing issue is solved 🥴. Here is a quick update to the above write-up, many months later…. I have found a compromise in printing with this filament. Cura settings: temp <195, max speed= 12mm/sec., flow 97%, cool =100%, retract < 0.8mm (I realize this is painfully slow and stringing is a mess. But with some clean-up afterward it is probably worth the effort.). Here is my taco holder design printed with this filament.

I have been very impressed with this OVERTURE High Speed PLA filament. The filament arrived neatly wound with no tangles, making it easy to load and print. I used it on my high-speed 3D printer, and it performed exceptionally well with smooth extrusion and consistent results. The print quality is excellent, with clean layers, strong adhesion, and minimal stringing. I especially appreciate how reliable it has been for printing functional items and detailed designs. The spool quality and packaging were also great. Overall, this is a high-quality PLA filament that delivers excellent performance and value. I would definitely purchase it again and recommend it to anyone looking for dependable filament for high-speed printing.

Good color, but the silk filament is not adhesive enough, even I fully cleaned the plate, parts still detached easily, this never happened to my other filaments

Absolutely gorgeous filament. Very shiny when printed slow (20-30 mm/s). This particular print shown here (The Source by Luo Li Rong) showcases the Overture silk filament at its best. As usual, it has incredible consistency throughout the spool and between different spools.

This filament is the brown I used for Grogu's robe; aside from being a nice color on its own, the shade goes very well with the filaments from Sunlu's Meta line (I used "apple green" and "pink" in this print). Overture at its normal price is a bit expensive for me, but on sale it was a great deal. It prints well on my Bambu Lab A1 Mini using Bambu Studio's "generic PLA" profile, though (at least when printing with a .4 mm nozzle at a .16 mm layer height) I had to increase "top Z" distance from .16 mm to .2 mm to make the supports easier to remove. For this print, I supported the robe under the collar and under the raised arm, but I couldn't find a way to support the cuff on the lowered arm in a way that let me remove the support without snapping off his middle finger; I was pleased to find this filament did quite a respectable job on the overhang even so (see pics). To be clear, I did support the fingertips, just not the cuff in front or behind them. I defintely didn't get a ruler, build surface, or opaque bag like some reviewers did; packaging must have changed sometime in the last five years. I really appreciate the thoroughness of the spool sticker in giving not only the recommended printing temperatures, but also the recommended print speed and empty spool weight. Some brands of filament don't list spool weight anywhere, meaning you have to eyeball whether there's enough filament left on a roll to finish a print. Ugh. I also like the fact that the spools are cardboard, since 3d printing creates enough waste already. (Yes, PLA is theoretically recyclable, but you can't recycle it at most municipal recycling facilities.) However, it's my understanding that cardboard doesn't necessarily play nice with certain printers in which the roll rests on a surface rather than being suspended from a bar through its middle; I can't speak to whether the "upgraded reinforced edges" Overture touts fix that issue.

excelente filamento, para los que quieran imprimir la torre eiffel les recomiendo este color es el mas parecido que encontre al verdadero color de la torre eiffel, al vendedor le recomiendo poner eso en la descripcion quizas con eso consiga mas ventas, saludos.

Vibrant color, no issues with any prints.
