Product Features
? 【PC 3D Printer Filament】 - Polymaker offers different PC filament which can meet your different needs. PolyLite PC offers excellent strength and heat resistance with light diffusing properties; PolyMax PC for extra temperature resistance and toughness and printablility; PolyMax PC-FR can slow/stop the spread of fire for flame retardant need; PC-ABS for excellent toughness and heat resistance while displaying good surface finish, PC-PBT for low temperature toughness and chemical resistance
?️ 【Exceptionally Strong & Heat Resistant PC Filament】 - 1.75mm Polycarbonate filament ( PC filament 1.75mm ) is the strongest and heat resistant of ALL the 3D filament materials that can be printed with consumer grade printers
? 【Affordable Price for Special Application】 - Polymaker 3D printer polycarbonate filament, considering its fantastic properties is also quite budget-friendly compared to some more exotic carbon fiber-filled stuff. It doesn't shrink much upon cooling and will withstand the temperatures in a black car, in the desert, in the summer time, with the sun shining! For hard, strong, stiff, functional parts you won't find better than Polymaker polycarbonate filament 1.75mm
? 【Clean & Dry Enough】 - Carefully winded to avoid any tangling issues, dried and vacuum sealed in a resealable ziplock bag with desiccant. Please make sure to NEVER let go the tip of the filament as it may create nodes. Holes on the side of the spool can be used to prevent this issue
? 【Jam Free & Consistent Diameter】 - Polymaker 3D printer filament polycarbonate 1.75mm has good quality that would never cause clogs, jams, warps or other problems, has great bed adhesion, very consistent color and dimensional accuracy, giving you a good mood printing. It is also very low odor while printing which is a huge bonus
⚠️【Note】 - Use a BuildTak surface, it will help hold down the print and prevent it from warping. Calibrating your printer before printing is necessary. It is recommended to use an enclosure when printing. For large part it is recommended to use a heated chamber. It is recommended to anneal the printed part right after the printing process to release the residual internal stress
?️ 【PolyMax PC Applications】 - PolyMax PC is an engineering 3D printing filament polycarbonate offering the absolute best in toughness that is simply unobtainable from other materials of similar stiffness and showing much improved mechanical strength compared to ABS and PLA under varying deformation test. You can print jigs and fixtures or combat robot functional parts with PolyMax PC, sand by hand or machine and obtain a smooth surface that could rival any injection-molded part
⚙️【PolyMax PC Printing Settings】 - Nozzle 250˚C ~ 270˚C; Bed 90˚C ~ 105˚C; Chamber 90˚C ~ 100˚C; Speed 30mm/s ~ 50mm/s; Fan Off; Bed Surface MAGIGOO PC or BUILDTAK; Drying Settings 75˚C for 6h. Annealing settings 90˚C for 2h. Recommended Support Materials PolySupport (Pink)
? 【PolyMax PC Mechanical Properties】 - Young’s Modulus 2048 ± 66 Mpa; Tensile Strength 59.7 ± 1.8 Mpa; Bending Strength 94.1 ± 0.9 Mpa; Charpy Impact Strength 25.1 ± 1.9 kJ/m2. Thermal Properties Glass Transition Temperature 113˚C; Vicat Softening Temperature 117˚C
Customer Reviews
I do a lot of work with PC and PC-blends as I push the boundaries of what can be manufactured as a functional part with a 3d printer. I've probably tried/used PC from 5 or so different manufacturers. My general comments are this:1) Polycarbonate (PC) is the strongest and heat resistant of all the materials that can be printed with consumer grade printers. For hard, strong, functional parts you won't find better. (P.S. If you have a commercial grade printer you can play with other even higher performance polymers like Ultem, PPSU, PEEK, etc.)2) Of the PC products out there this one is far-and-away the best. In general PC is a difficult material to work with primarily due to its desire for very high temperatures and its constant desire to warp. Polymaker really has this stuff dialed in, in that it is much easier to work with, while still retaining all of the strength (possibly more) of pure PC and about 90% of the heat tolerance of pure PC.Printing tips:PC loves heat. Polymaker recommends 230-270*C which is actually a hint that they have done something with this blend since more normal PC wants to be printed around 300*C. I print PC-Max at 270*C and get great layer adhesion, surface finish, even at print speeds up around 60-70 mm/s. Just like it loves a high nozzle temp it seems to want the bed at about 90-100*C, and more importantly for sufficiently complex geometries or large parts it likes a heater build chamber. I have a controlled chamber that I can get into the mid 60*C range and it works very well. I print directly on a PEI build surface with nothing more than a few mm brim around the part and don't really have any issues with it not sticking to the build surface, however PC is known to warping and not sticking to the surface so if you just can't get it to stick try build tak or an ABS slurry to keep it bonded to the surface.Be careful when removing supports and such from PC after printing. Its a VERY hard material and little edges will cut you pretty easily.The only negatives I have are really that while it does have a great HDT compared to other materials it doesn't *quite* have the heat resistance of pure PC (I tested a few samples and suspect the HDT is around 115*C at <.5Mpa). Additionally Polymaker's supply chain seems to be a bit spotty, the stuff will be in stock for a month or so then be back out of stock for a month or two.. which can be an issue if you are relying on it for functional, sale-able parts.In conclusion, PC-Max is the best PC out there. Kudos to Polymaker keep up the good work!
