Description
Strong, heat-resistant engineering thermoplastic.
Common use cases
Protective housings, mechanical components, structural brackets, and high-temperature fixtures.
Advantages
High impact strength; good heat resistance; strong functional parts; suitable for demanding applications.
Disadvantages
Difficult bed adhesion; substantial warping; moisture-sensitive; requires high temperatures; can develop internal stress.
Printing tips and recommendations
Dry immediately before printing and feed from a dry box when possible. Use a hot bed, a preheated enclosure, minimal drafts, and a compatible adhesive or build surface. Allow slow cooling to reduce stress cracking and warping. Provide effective ventilation or enclosure exhaust.
X2D guidance
The X2D can print PC, but chamber preheating, dry filament, and controlled cooling are critical. Use the main hotend for demanding parts.
Support-material guidance
PC for ordinary supports, or a manufacturer-approved high-temperature PC-compatible breakaway support. PLA/PETG/PVA-oriented supports are generally unsuitable at PC conditions.
