The media could not be loaded. Overture transparent PETG is widely reputed as among the very best for achieving “glass like” clarity with careful tuning of your slicer settings.Thus, I decided to give it a try on my Bambu Lab X1E.I set a custom filament profile via Bambu Handy, titled “OVERTURE PETG Transparent @ Bambu Lab X1E 0.4 Nozzle”. If I understand correctly, this profile should update to the Bambu cloud so that other users can pick and use the profile for their prints.I started with the “Generic PETG” profile and amended the following:Flow ratio = 1.01Max nozzle temp = 270 deg CNozzle temp = 270 deg C (for initial layer & other layers)Minimum fan speed = 0Maximum fan speed = 0The slicer setting are absolutely essential:Wall loops = 1Top shell loops = 0Bottom shell loops = 0Sparse infill density = 100%Sparse infill pattern = Aligned RectilinearInfill direction = 0 deg (or 90 deg)Change all print speeds to 1/10th the defaults = 20 mm/s for most settingsLayer heights (all) = 0.1 mmLine widths (all) = 0.5 mmSeam = I used “Back” (avoid using ‘Random’)Some design tips: 270 deg C nozzle temp is needed to create the infill to be as solid (unified) as possible, but be careful about avoiding overhangs and bridges as with the cooling turned off completely the filament will droop / sag extensively at such high nozzle temps. Even 45 deg overhangs will not print well. Thus, go with straight walls wherever possible for any that are not directly adjacent to the print plate.Also, keep any walls on your print design as thin as possible … 1 to 3 mm … for the best results. Ensure that there are no mesh errors as these will cause gaps inside the print that obstruct the clarity. Furthermore, orient the object you are printing so that the print direction parallels the longest axis (of the object).Dry the filament for at least 8 hours on the maximum dryer heat setting of 70 deg C for most non-industrial drying units. PETG is extremely hygroscopic and any absorbed moisture will cause bubbles of steam that will cloud the clarity of the print. You can print this filament from the AMS as long as you re-spool it to a plastic spool. Cardboard retains a lot of moisture. Thus, if you put the cardboard spool into your AMS, even with the plastic rims, you’ll end up raising the interior humidity of the AMS.So, how did the print go? Please see the attached video and photos.First, I was amazed at how little stringing occurred at 270 deg C. It did come with over-extrusion artifacts along the seams but that is par for the course for such high nozzle temps. This is why I recommended using the seam profile that creates the least amount of seams, which you can visually confirm in the slicer previews.The bottom wall and layers are amazingly clear. In the attached photos, you can read the text printed on the Overture filament box right through the bottom wall of the print. The side walls of my printed object (a purge chute, waste bin cover) are translucent but more diffuse.If I were to manually polish all the walls of my printed object, I am certain I could achieve “glass like” transparency.So, overall, a good print with excellent results with Overture Transparent PETG on clarity, cleanliness of the print, and its dimensional stability.

I've tried several gold PETG filaments and this one stands above the rest.The finish resembles gold silk-PLA, but this stuff is significantly less brittle. While it doesn't perfectly mimic real gold, it's the best I've found so far. It's significantly better looking than 3 other brands of gold PETG I've tried.If you want a fairly easy-to-print, attractive, somewhat shiny gold PETG, this is the one to get.

My first time with PETG. Bumped my nozzle temp to 240 (pla it is 207). Bed to 65 (pla it is 55).Printed fantastic. No issues yet. config: ender 6 with direct drive and a cover.

So far I have gone through several rolls of this filament in black, and also have used the transparent, blue, red, and light gray colors.I had a lot of trouble with stringing and globbing with the blue and red filament. I also noticed that the filament was not neatly twisted around the spool, but instead had some sections that were wavy and had some gaps.Based on the printing performance, I suspect the moisture level is not consistent for this product. To get the blue and red filament to behave I ended up reducing the print temperature to 230 degrees C and set the extrusion multiplier to 0.96. This is on a Prusa MK4S. The default PrusaSlicer profile seems to work fine for the other colors.I will keep buying this filament because it's a good value and I think I have it dialed in, but it was frustrating to use the black filament for weeks with no issues and then have to do a lot of tuning (and wasted/failed prints) with some of the other colors to get the same performance.

What can I say? I have been satisfied with Overture for many years. Their quality and affordability make them my filament of choice for almost any type, especially PLA and PETG. I don't print ABS much but when I do it is just as smooth. I almost never have clogs or filament breaks with Overture like some other brands. It's simply very good quality filament at an affordable price. I recommend!

This review is specifically for the Overture PETG - White Rock - 1 kg package. I'm printing on a Bambu Lab X1C with AMS. The filament was packaged well in a vacuum sealed mylar bag with a desiccant package. The winding on the spool was one of the neatest I've ever seen across any brand. I mean not one strand out of place. I believe them when they say they produce filament that is designed to be trouble free; I can't imagine how you would have any tangles with how neatly it was spooled. Of course, it does come on a cardboard spool. I do not like using cardboard spools in the AMS. In fairness, I recall reading that the spool edges are treated in some manner to make them more robust in AMS type systems. And it did feel like maybe there was something on the edges. But I can't find that source again. I decided to respool the filament (like I always do for any brand on cardboard). It respooled wonderfully. And although my new spool was not nearly as neat as the original spool, I have printed now for about 12 hours - different models - with no issues. I began with a calibration for the filament to create a profile before I begin printing. Supports removed as I expected them to come off. I really like the look of this filament. The whitish-grey with the random specs of black is striking. I feel like the randomness of the black specs helps to hide any imperfections in the print. We blew a circuit breaker in the middle of one print. I decided to let it continue printing and even I have to really look to see where the restart point it. Even after only 12 hours of print, this is already my new favorite colorway. I am very impressed. Again, you may find you benefit from running calibration. For my X1C, my flow dynamics came in at 0.045 but I've already forgotten my flow rate setting. I'm very happy with this product. No PETG is as easy to print as PLA in my opinion. But this one is really good and the colorway is just fantastic!
