📐 Highly Accurate Transparent Polycarbonate Filament: Ensuring Consistent Dimensions Review

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"…

I got this hoping for all the PC qualities and wouldn't say I got it. I would describe it more as PETG with less flexibility and more brittleness. If the pieces of this thread break, they shatter and explode. PLA tends to deform much more, but will also hold that deformation when released. It will deform to the point where it will explode, but if not pushed to that limit it will return to its original shape much better. Fractures have always occurred between the plies, so the bonding of the…

I bought it back when the description didn't mention it was polycarbonate alloy (so -1 star) but that's fine. This means most people can print on it and enjoy the benefits of PC, namely its durability and heat resistance. Ideal for 3D printer parts and anything that requires good durability. I had to fiddle around with my settings a lot to get this to print well. Any polycarbonate (or "exotic" plastic) needs a bit of fine tuning to work properly as it has different properties than the PLA we…
