OVERTURE ABS Filament 1.75mm, High Strength & Heat-Resistant 3D Printer Filament, Low Warping, Excellent Durability, ABS 1kg (2.2lbs) Cardboard Spool, High Precision +/- 0.02mm (Black 1-Pack)

My X1Carbon arrived and this was the only plastic I got at the same time. Luckily, I bought 4 kg, because it's awesome. I've run it in "ludicrous mode" and it's fine. I've tweaked some settings, but it prints a good benchy with "generic abs" temp settings 270c hot end and 90c bed. I have a screenshot from the app with whatever settings it shows. Pros: Great bed adhesion, great layer adhesion, minimal shrinkage, clean finish when you use iron mode, strong, solid glow, good price, fast shipping, and durable. My neighbor pulled in with his 1 and 3 year olds and I have them some fidget cubes. They were throwing them on the driveway and jumping on them and nothing broke, but I told him to let me know when it does. Cons. Be careful of supports. This stuff is really extremely hard so tree and grid supports are way too hard to get off with the great layer adhesion. You need a longer carry distance between them so hopefully your printer can do something like a. 7.5 mm+ hollow support since that's been easyish to remove with minimal left on the part. You need pliers to remove them and it's not easy so be careful dudes and dudettes. Unknowns: Deformation temperature, long term glow, how fast it can really print, etc. I haven't printed much for sharp corners yet since it's always safety third. I also haven't acetone vapor smoothing yet, but I will and almost promise to update if it was bad. It does have quite a smell so I'm sure it's toxic and I would put it in the garage. I'm def going to seal my chamber better, but that's not a filament problem with the right ventilation. TLDR; see title. I gave all my printed things away so I only have inappropriate ones or idiot (me) decided to slice it very poorly 🥴

Generally, Overture has great stuff, even for cardboard spools, generally their filament is always on point for me. I print a lot of technical/challenging filaments -- so really any complaints that a civilian might share in a review are never really a concern to me. IE, I'm never going to print with a cardboard spool, I will always respool the thing, and then -- yeah, even PLA I am going to dry. So honestly, and genuinely when I say that this is LITERALLY the best glow in the dark ABS filament that exists, I mean it. 100%. I've bought dozen(s) of spools of this stuff over the coarse of 1-2 years and it's always the same high quality, strong, long lasting, green glow, with literally 0 troubles printing. I kid you not, Bambulabs ABS with their profiles prints worse than this stuff does -- and it's half the price! You can't find better filament for the money. As for tangling and moisture issues, like I said, I'm not in the business of wasting money on filament, so I take the proper steps, it's not a downside to me, it's part of the hobby.

I started enclosing my Ender 3, but after getting three sides up I was impatient and tried this ABS without finishing it. Impatience being the operative word I even printed at faster than PLA speeds and wider than normal line width. I was looking for functional, high strength parts that can withstand dirty water and outdoor environments (Bird bath or pond), and I was not disappointed. Pros: Able to print quickly. High quality, strong, and durable prints. MUCH easier to print than any PETG I have tried. Inexpensive. Very little stringing. No nozzle clogs. Prints without an enclosure (I did shut the register off in the room) Cons: Wife claims she can smell it. My eyes are sensitive, and burn a little if I'm in an enclosed room during printing. Slight warping on elongated parts, though much better than I expected (using draft shield). If using a raft, very hard to remove it. Brim works well. Thin (two or three line widths) vertical parts aren't very strong. Requires all-metal hotend (On an Ender-3 I just replaced the heat-break with a 2-for-$15.00 all-metal heatbreak. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TCD4M1S Note: My Ender-3 has a 50 watt heater, glass bed, and All-metal heat-break Cura settings: Ender-3 V2 using 0.4mm nozzle Generic ABS Line width: 0.8 Wall line count: 3 Printing temperature: 240C Build plate temperature: 105C Print speed: 80 Enable retraction: ON Retract at Layer Change: ON Retraction Distance: 3.0mm Z hop when extracted: ON Z hop height: 0.4mm Build Plate Adhesion Type: Brim Brim width: 8mm (make sure brim reaches draft shield) Enable draft shield: ON Draft shield X/Y distance: 8mm

ABS blue. Excellent print quality on my Bambu X1C. But I'm having no luck with Acetone smoothing. Tried vapor method. No change. Dunking the print in pure Acetone. Nada. Maybe I've got some really old bummy acetone?

Using this filament with a Bambulab P1S, it was very easy to set up a filament profile to get strong and neat looking ABS prints with the default Bambulab P1/X1 process profiles. There is some odor during printing, but it is manageable and worth the hassle for strong parts that can withstand higher temperatures. Started with the default Bambulab ABS basic filament profile, then changed the bed temperature to 95c, changed the nozzle temperature to 265c for all layers, and set the max volumetric speed to 16 mm^3/s. Higher max volumetric speeds can result in inconsistent layer appearance and layer adhesion issues. Using a PVA gluestick helps prevent prints from lifting from the bed, but for models with a very small first layer footprint, using a brim may be necessary.

I haven't found a better ABS for thermal and dimensional properties, as well as not gumming up the nozzle, etc. it's ABS, so it's not without its smell. But it seems better than Polymaker (which I think is their parent company) without sacrificing quality.

Overture ABS filament 1Kg I have found to print very well and is a good value for me. I've used Gray, Purple, Yellow and Black. After many spools (mostly the gray) over many months I have not had a single print failure. I've had no warping on parts 240w x 240h. Great layer adhesion. Beautiful looking prints. Great acetone smoothing results. Sticks to textured PEI plate like glue while printing and pops off by itself when cooled. I like the cardboard spools they use. I am very happy with Overture ABS filaments so far. I am using a Qidi Q1 Pro, generic ABS profile, 255C, 110C, 50C, no fan. I get prints using Overture ABS on my Qidi Q1P equal in quality to PLA prints on my Prusa MK. I know that might sound good but I recommend you use a different brand. I don't want increased demand to drive up the price for me or even worse cause a shortage. That wouldn't be any good for you either. If you are using a passively heated enclosure then I would suggest you try Hatchbox ABS or some ABS+ filaments instead because they use a different mix and you will probably have much less warping. You just won't have as good of a result with acetone smoothing. That has been my experience with my Prusa MK using passive enclosure. This Overture pure ABS filament works great with active printers, not so great with passive ones.

I've purchased at least 30 spools of Overture ABS over the past 8 months in just about every color available and have had nothing but great results. Never had one issue with bad spooling or tangling. Prints like a dream on my X1C. Bed adhesion and warping have not been a problem. Really just a consistant quality material since I've been purchasing it.
