Review on πŸ“ Highly Accurate Transparent Polycarbonate Filament: Ensuring Consistent Dimensions by Sean Purnomo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly good for the cheap price (for a change)

I've been 3D printing for about a year. Started out primarily with PLA but started expanding into other materials with my Ender 3 Pro. I really loved PETg, but I spoke to a friend who got his Ender 3 Pro shortly after I got mine and he said he wanted to see how polycarbonate prints because it's so much stronger than other materials. So I ordered a roll. this material mainly because it was the cheapest I've ever seen and because he said it was a PETg hybrid. I thought it would "make it easier" for me to print to a PC. This material prints better than many other materials I've played with and gives great results with few issues and excellent layer adhesion (currently uses a Creality glass layer). The only thing to note is that it requires higher temperatures, but I get strong, clean prints with no glitches (3 prints). If he continues to print like this, I think I've found my new all-purpose printing filament when I need something durable and functional. If they start making paints they might fill some of my other niches too! EDIT: I've noticed some creases on the corners, but only on square items, especially if they're thin, and only if that corner is directly on the bed.

Pros
  • 3D printing PC filament. 1.75mm 1kg. Heat Resistant Filament
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
