Review on πŸ”§ OVERTURE High-Precision Filament Consumables for Dimensionally Accurate Additive Manufacturing by Justin Sherman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This rating is for white PLA ONLY. it is NOT white. It is very off-white/yellowish.

I needed WHITE PLA so I ordered 3 rolls of OVERTURE White. The product photos must have been edited with Photoshop because they ended up here. This material is very pure white/almost yellow, not true white. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that this is the LEAST white, white PLA I've ever bought. it was REALLY white, so their cameras automatically adjusted the white balance to make it look more real than it really is. I took photos next to REAL white PLA so my phone's camera would automatically white balance correctly and the photos I took looked pretty accurate (at least on my phone and computer screens). Because I want REAL white I couldn't even use this thing. I immediately sent it back for a refund after seeing how white it was. And yes, I know I can paint over it, but it defeats the purpose for me. If I wanted to dye it, why even buy white thread and pay a (slightly) higher price when I can just buy another thread that works great for about $11-$15 a spool and just dye it. Very disappointed :/ This is very bad. I was excited to try this stuff after seeing all the positive reviews. I can still try their other colors, but if you want true white PLA, look elsewhere. I know this is a bit of a babble, but I hope the information and photos are helpful to someone.

Pros
  • Dimensional accuracy and consistency
Cons
  • Base required
