Review on 🔍 Transparent Additive Manufacturing Products by Gizmo Dorks: Exploring Polycarbonate Filament by Richard Alemayehu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stiff material in additive manufacturing products

products. Apparently, unlike other 3D printer polycarbonates, it is a real material and not a blend. For printing I used 280°C at the hot end and 120°C at the platform. The bed was covered with blue tape. Please be skeptical of bad reviews as they seem to come from people who have neither the knowledge nor the patience to work with this material which is very prone to warping. . As a workaround at this point, I just placed the box on the machine while it was printing and resisted the urge to look inside until the part was finished. So far I've only made a few very small pieces, 10mm high at most.

Pros
  • Printed parts made with Gizmo Dork's polycarbonate filament have increased mechanical strength compared to ABS and PLA
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other Picks
