🎯 Enhanced Accuracy for Printing Polycarbonate Filament Review

Loved this thread for the first 4 reels. Always reordered before my last roll was gone. On the fifth throw someone had a bad day at the winder. Entanglements throughout the reel. Thought it was my printer. Spent hours trying to figure that out. When I thought I had it, I went back to a failed print with insufficient extrusion (tension due to tangling causing the feed gears to slip). Eventually it turned out to be the entanglements. Started another print and returned to the empty spool. Find…

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

I don't often write reviews but this stuff is underrated and deserves a few minutes. I don't know what others are complaining about. The benefits of using it over a $100 spool of filament become apparent after the first print. Whatever the mix is, they nailed it and I love polycarbonate. I've been printing mostly overpriced PETG for 7 years and now mostly PC blends. I love this mix. The material is hard as rock, although the prints aren't as glossy as most PC blends (more like a dull gloss)…
