Description

The Gizmo Dorks Polycarbonate filament, often referred to as PC filament, is an incredibly strong thermoplastic material used in 3D printing. This can be a good electrical insulator whilst having heat-resistant properties. Polycarbonate is used in a whole host of applications such as data storage, phones, eye protection, bullet-proof glass, and more. Polycarbonate has a high temperature resistance for a thermoplastic, and it does not shatter like plexiglass. It tends to bend and deform similar to hard rubber until it eventually breaks. It also has high optical clarity.

PC absorbs numerous moisture in the air. This can be a hygroscopic material, and it is best to store in an airtight container when not in use. Even all the way through use the material can grow to be unprintable within a 24 hour print if in a humid environment. Due to this fact, keeping in an airtight container all the way through printing as well is ideal. Dry filament will print more clear. Filament that has absorbed moisture will print white in addition to pop and bubble all the way through the print.Extruding temperature is typically around 260 C, depending on the printer. PC slowly softens when heated, unlike PLA which has a high transition temperature. Slower print speeds are preferred as an increase in temperature is required for faster prints. Polyimide tape (Kapton) must be used on a heated bed, ~120 C. Some users prefer applying glue or superglue on a glass bed and then heating to ~120 C-130 C. Please do not inhale any fumes. Heated up superglue can release toxic fumes, so only use in a well ventilated area.
