Overture PETG is all I run in my Prusas. Flawless. PLA and PLA Pro in my CR-10s is also flawless. Overture PETG in the bambu has inconsistent color and minor artifacts using the petg generic preset. I'm sure it would be better if I finetuned the Bambu profile, but I just go with other brands on the bambu.

Currently using some Overture PETG that I just loaded in my X1 Carbon. It's not coming out as perfect as the dozens of PLAs I've used in the same machine. Not sure if it's just a PETG issue in general, but I've heard of other people having similar issues with Overture.
I've only used their PLA but it absolutely would not stick to the glass print bed I was using at the time. Tried all of the normal troubleshooting steps and threw away a basically full spool. Been 3D printing for about 6-7 years now, tried many filament brands and never had anywhere near as much trouble. Obviously some people have better luck and, judging by all of the thumbs down on negative comments, are defensive of Overture. But in my experience, it's finicky at best and probably worth avoiding.

I bought the ~$80 Monoprice 3D printer deal.

I do not know what I'm doing yet.

Does this filiment work in the Monoprice 3D printer?
I don't know which printer that is but if it uses filament, it should work.
If your printer does not have a heated bed, then you should stick with PLA because other plastics require heated beds. If your printer has a heated bed, then PLA, ABS, PETG filaments are all recommended options.
For absolute beginners, PLA is the best choice because it doesn't warp (lift off the bed) much compared to the other plastics.
If you've manually leveled the print bed and stuff still doesn't stick well, then use glue stick or basic hairspray on the bed.

I've been using Overture filament for a while now without issues.
I wanted to check out their carbon fiber filament and I noticed they have PLA+, Super PLA+ and Carbon Fiber PLA from their website.
However, they don't offer any specific measurements that are comparable amongst the three. This is very disappointing and makes me think the aren't as professional as I was hoping for.
PLA+: "improved fracture toughness (Charpy Impact Strength 13.4+/-1.2 kJ/m2, 5 times tougher than regular PLA)"
Super PLA+: "Greatly improved impact resistance, with improved mechanical properties that ordinary PLA does not have, flexibility, and toughness"
Carbon Fiber PLA: "With a tensile strength of 4250MPa"
With their different styles of describing different filaments, it really makes me think they just rebrand filaments from different vendors.

I'm relatively new to 3d printing and have just been using the Inland PLA before this. I'm in for 4 rolls at 48.97, got a bunch of different varieties. Interested to see how the carbon fiber turns out.

I have the same issue with overture, hard to get it to stick and has to run hotter to work for me. I am not a fan of the brand overture cheap stuff, I have 3 rolls of black and white and they all are very finicky to get to stick. I actually have had better experiences with Amazon branded and some others like crealitys.

Their Easy pla and the eco pla work flawlessly on my K1 Max and A1 Bambu. The cream I tried was terrible.

How do you get the free shipping? I entered the discount code, and that worked, but it still wants to charge me $2 for shipping, and doesn't allow any other option.

I picked up the Ender 3 V2 pro on BF as a xmas gift for myself. Can finally unbox it but like you I've no clue where to start. This looks to be ok pricing on name-brand PLA. On amazon there is cheaper stuff available but not too sure if us newbies should stick with name brands. Someone else mentioned Overture has a dedicated profile In Bambu (another 3d printer brand), so if it's enough to get some first party support must be.. ok?

I'm sticking to standard PLA, Glow in the dark, and one roll of "EASY PLA" just to see what it's about. A buddy recommended "PLA PLUS" but I didn't see that on Overture's site.
Warning glow in the dark and cf filament eats nozzles (unless you have a hardened steel nozzle)

Overture PLA was a disaster with the Bambu generic PLA settings. However, once I ran through manual calibration it was fine. Overall, I'd recommend other brands like Eryone for budget filament.
Not sure if it's a bambu, build plate, or setting issues. But overture PLA is extremely easy to work with on Prusa MK4 an XL with the generic PLA profile.

Just be aware that the glow filament will wear through your nozzle a lot faster because the glow particles are abrasive.

oops just saw someone else already said that. oh well

Got a roll each of eco, ABS, and TPU right at 41 bucks.
The roll of TPU alone would have set me back 28 bucks on Amazon.
