● Nozzle temperature:
245 - 265 °C
● Bed temperature:
90 - 110 °C. (a larger object requires a higher temperature)
● Heatbed:
Make sure the surface is clean, as described in
chapter. Apply a thin layer of glue stick when using the Textured PEI
powder coated sheet.
12.4 PC Blend (Prusament)
Polycarbonate (PC) is a technical material with great tenacity, tensile strength, and heat
resistance. However, it’s very hard to print, therefore suitable mainly for advanced users.
However, this doesn't apply to our Prusament PC Blend, which is significantly easier to print
compared to other polycarbonates.
Polycarbonate requires some experience to print properly. If you are a beginner, consider
experimenting with easier materials like PLA or PETG first.
Advantages
Disadvantages
High-temperature resistance
High warping, especially with large
models
High impact tenacity and tensile
strength
Good electric insulation properties
