# Is Overture filament good?

These ranked rows list 190–240 °C (374–464 °F).

Overture PLA, PLA Plus, and PETG have ordinary catalog ranges, and these threads blame setup, top-layer speed, TPU speed, a partial clog, or drying, not a bad brand. The Ender 3 failure is a nozzle floating above the plate.

Judge Overture from the row you loaded and from the failure in front of you. These five threads are a high nozzle, a shiny top on matte PLA, TPU printed too fast, a possible clog, and stringing after a dry. [Budget filament](/answers/cheap), [eSUN](/answers/brand_esun), and [filament quality](/answers/filament_quality) are the brand comparisons.

## The rows

[Overture](/brand/overture) PLA lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F). [Matte PLA](/brand/overture/matte-pla) lists the same 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and 50–70 °C (122–158 °F). [PLA Plus](/brand/overture/pla-plus) lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 35–60 °C (95–140 °F), with no drying time stored. [TPU](/brand/overture/tpu) lists 210–240 °C (410–464 °F) and 30–60 °C (86–140 °F), with no print speed stored. [PETG](/brand/overture/petg) lists 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and 70–90 °C (158–194 °F). None of the five threads is a PETG print, so that range is the catalog row only. [PLA](/material/pla), [PLA+](/material/pla-plus), [PETG](/material/petg), and [TPU](/material/tpu) are the hubs.

## What failed in the threads

[r/3Dprinting 1ujd6x8](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1ujd6x8/) is an Ender 3 with Overture PLA. Two score-38 comments say the printer was not set up and that the nozzle is floating well above the bed, far past a normal 1–2 mm Z-offset miss, and one of them suspects the Z endstop. That is a first layer. It is not a filament temperature.

[r/BambuLab 16n0nja](https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/16n0nja/) is Overture matte PLA. Calibration squares are matte. The top layer shines. The poster tried a Bambu profile, an Overture profile, and a custom profile, at 190–200°, at 0.2 mm and 0.28 mm layers. A score-20 comment says speed is what usually decides a matte surface. 190–200° is how the post writes the range. It sits at the bottom of the 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) matte nozzle.

[r/ender3 107yikr](https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/107yikr/) says the full Overture TPU temperature range looked wrong. The retrieved comments do not pick a new temperature. They say try 15 mm/s, and that TPU wants to stay at 15–25 mm/s. The catalog row does not list a speed. [Flexible filament](/answers/flex) is the TPU guide.

[r/FixMyPrint ul3umr](https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/ul3umr/) is thin near-vertical walls drooping in Overture filament less than a month old, on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 with Klipper. The leading comment suggests a partial clog. Another asks whether the part-cooling fan is spinning. [Filament quality](/answers/filament_quality) is the page for a spool that changed behavior.

[r/FixMyPrint 10p65cm](https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/10p65cm/) dried Overture PLA+ for 8 hours at 120 °F and still had stringing, with retraction described as already tuned. A score-10 comment says wet spools string more, and that eight hours should have made a moisture problem obvious if water was the cause. A score-9 comment says stringing is retraction and that drying is for PLA that snaps. The PLA Plus row does not list a drying temperature. [Stringing](/answers/stringing) and [drying](/answers/drying) are the two guides, and 120 °F stays the poster's oven setting.

## What the community says

r/3Dprinting 1ujd6x8 is an Ender 3 running Overture PLA. The leading comments say the machine was not set up and that the nozzle is far too high. r/BambuLab 16n0nja is Overture matte PLA with shine on the top layer after days of calibration, printed between 190–200°. A comment points at speed. r/ender3 107yikr is Overture TPU across the poster's full temperature range. Comments say slow the print to 15 mm/s or stay at 15–25 mm/s. r/FixMyPrint ul3umr is thin walls drooping in Overture filament less than a month old on an Artillery Sidewinder X1. The leading comment suggests a partial clog. Another asks if the part-cooling fan is working. r/FixMyPrint 10p65cm dried Overture PLA+ for 8 hours at 120 °F and still had stringing. One comment says wet filament strings and that eight hours should have shown an effect if water was the cause. Another comment says stringing is retraction.
