Review on 🖨️ Polymaker PC Max G True Printing Filament: Unleashing Print Precision and Strength by Christopher Isaac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Strong, durable, beautiful prints.

Polymax PC is one of my new favorite filaments. Although it's a bit harder to type compared to PLA, its ability to create durable and functional parts is hard to beat. Since it is polycarbonate, prints made from this material are very durable and have high heat resistance, which is on par with high-quality nylon thread. However, it is much stiffer than nylon, which is a desirable trait for many prints. With the right settings and the right printing environment, this material prints warp-free, with minimal stress and excellent layer adhesion. The Jumping ability is pretty poor, but supports the aid and can be removed with minimal effort. For a distortion-free print, using the body is highly recommended. The build plate temperature of 100°C helped ensure that even large hard parts stuck to the build plate. The layer fan detracts from everything except very fine detail with fine detail. PC-Max parts can be annealed by placing them in an oven at 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 1-2 hours. and then let it cool down slowly with the oven door closed. My pressure settings (heavily modified closed Ender 3 with Titan Aero and Layerlock build surface): for direct drive extrusion): 0.06 Speed: 30mm/s at 200mm/s acceleration with 10mm/s jerk. Other Settings: Comb, 5mm margins, Z-hop enabled.
