Review on 🎯 Enhanced Accuracy for Printing Polycarbonate Filament by Jay Campbell

I wanted to try PC filament, it was the cheapest. My printer is equipped with a special printhead for printing on this type of material, which is equipped with a high-temperature extruder with no part cooling fan. This should work fine with higher temperature filament, but didn't work with this material. After printing a couple of calibration cubes I knew something was wrong because I had to lower the head temp to 235 and add extra top layers or I would end up with bad padding. I tried to print some parts with these settings but all ended up with holes in the top layer due to a missing part cooling fan. I ended up putting the printhead back on and printing with my default PETG settings. Then the prints turned out great. I was wondering about the strength of the material so I did a very unscientific test and took a calibration cube printed with Petg and one with that material and put them in a vise, one at each end of the jaw. I tightened the vise until I felt some compression of the cubes, then checked which one was compressed the most. The cube from this thread has shrunk more than the petg cube. At that moment I was almost done. I wanted something stronger and more heat resistant than Petg, but that didn't work for me either. This material has several positive properties: it is shinier than Petg and its surface feels harder. It doesn't require a very hot head, so it will likely print on most printers.
