OVERTURESilk Filament PLA 1.75mm Clog-Free Shiny 3D Printer Consumables, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, Fit Most FDM Printer(Silk Gold)

bom filamento, boa cor

UPDATE: I found that this filament needs slightly lower retraction settings than I use on other silk filaments, and I had to disable z-hop as well. The z-hop (because its a vertical motor movement, which takes longer than X & Y) would take a fraction of a second before actually moving out of the Z axis. And this fraction of a second let some filament ooze out of the nozzle, which over several layers would result in long blob strings building up over time (seen in the retraction towers photo).I've uploaded some more recent photos that are 100x better (though there's still a slight bit of stringing, its such a minor amount that it doesn't bother me).I've attached photos of the material settings I had to make for overture silk filaments. Hopefully it helps others.Leaving my below (now inaccurate) review in case it's similar to the experience someone else may be having.ORIGINAL (Inaccurate) REVIEW:I personally really like Overtures PLA filaments. I would say maybe 1/3rd of my filaments are from them. And I've printed a decent amount of silk PLA as well (just not Overture brand). I purchased the Overture Silk Copper PLA filament, and the first thing I printed was a filament sample. And the majority of the surface looked ok except for the one spot with the letters "PLA". I figured maybe it was just something minor and went on to try printing a turbine for a model of a jet engine, and as you can see in the photos, it was absolutely disastrous. I put it next to another silk print of the same part and print settings (I actually just reprinted the same model/gcode after changing the filament.I dried the filament then tried increasing/decreasing the temperature, retraction distance/speed, print speed, z-offset, and tried printing various calibration towers for speed, temperature and retraction. And the globing/stringing is present.I Googled "overture silk PLA issues" and it looks like this is a somewhat common problem with Overtures silk PLA filaments.I will still continue to buy from Overture, but not for silk filaments.If I ever find a combination of settings that prevent these issues, I will be sure to update this post with those values.Thanks.

Color rojo seda bastante intenso,la verdad me encanta el acabado de las piezas sacadas,lo único que no me gusta del todo es la bobina 100% cartón,deberían de hacer el centro de plástico y hacer un sistema máster spool,así solo tendrías que imprimir los bordes y poder reutilizar la bobina tantas veces como quieras,la verdad que volveré a comprar sin cualquier duda

I've printed over a hundred pieces with this filament now (many of them small parts, but also some larger items). The texture and color look great and it prints well. I use 200 / 60 as my settingsI did have a lot of issues getting it to stick. It's not as forgiving as other filaments, but I've read that's the way it is with Silk PLA. Once I got over that hurdle it's been pretty consistent, 80-90% successful prints. Occasionally I'll get one that just doesn't stick and I'll need to adjust and try again. Definitely watch it for a layer or two to make sure it's printing well before you walk away. This is on an Ender 3 Pro.

I'm relatively new to the 3D printing world, so have been reluctant to leave reviews until I tried more than a few brands. My first experience with silky PLA was with Yousu. The material pulled back on itself during free extrusion, and I had a hard time with layer adhesion. CC3D and Amolen are more stable, but still do not extrude in an even string the way normal PLA does.The very first thing I noticed about the silky PLA I received from Overture was the fact that it extruded as if it were normal material. I had no trouble at all with layer adhesion or stringing, in fact I was impressed by the strength and loveliness of the model I printed. Add to this the fact that it appears they're an American company, and they've just made a friend for life.Do yourself a big favor--don't buy your silk PLA from anyone else!
