Review in progress

I'm having the worst time with this thread. I used to have issues with the threads, but usually they were at the bottom of the barrel. Overture is a known good filament, so this is a little shocking. Advantages. When I can get a filament print, it's absolutely fine, the layer lines disappear, the matte finish (albeit a little silky) really hides a lot of imperfections, and the durability of the material is amazing for PLA. .Disadvantages Difficult to adhere to the material. Small details on the first layer are lost, since the thread often twists right after laying. The largest prints are always raised at the corners or oddly almost impossible to remove from the herds. I've used five different greenhouse textures, ranging from mirrors to PEI, and I can't get this to work unless I want the bed to be 75 degrees and the filament 220 degrees or higher. This is not good as it is supposed to be similar to all other filaments (200 degrees C for the nozzle and 60 degrees C for the heatbed). I'll keep trying this thread and figure out how to print with it. It looks too good not to print and then I'm giving it the appropriate stars at the moment. I hope this works well.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
