Highlights
Quality
The print quality is excellent, strong, doesn't lift off the bed plate.

Price
Glad i bought it when the price was low.
The price i paid before christmas was $34.
I also swapped my hotend throat in the ender-3 stock hotend for an all metal one from spool because of ptfe scorching issues i had before.
The price for this 6 pack has jumped tremendously.
Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
This is my first petg filament and my first print with it.
Though my go to petg filament is sunlu, i tried overture for the price and it works.
Printed on a creality cr6 se, nozzle at 250c, bed at 85c, layer height of 0.
Many have generic petg filament presets that you may have to check.
