OVERTURE PLA Filament Material for PLA 3D Printers 3D Printing 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1kg Spool High Dimensional Accuracy High Density Environmental Protection Fits Most FDM Printers(Silk Gold)

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 am absolutely thrilled with this OVERTURE Silk Filament! The prints come out with a gorgeous, high-luster sheen that makes everything look premium. It handles beautifully—no clogging, great bed adhesion, and consistent flow. The finished parts feel durable and the color shift effect is mesmerizing. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to elevate their 3D prints! A fantastic, easy-to-use product. Five stars!

Great

Love this silky color. Delivery was fast. And prices are decent. Would definitely buy again

I have only used Overture filaments so far but this was my first Silk PLA. Like all other Overture PLA's, i found it easy to work with, especially since Orca Slicer has a built-in profile just for this filament (but i changed it to 230 C nozzle temp). I have a modded base Ender 3 which isn't going to do miracles obviously. No issues sticking to my glass build plate, and at least so far the spool is fine. The only reason i'm deducting a star is the actual color is very different from the store image color and it's not nearly as shiny either. It's advertised as #f9e352 but i find it to be more orange than that.
