SnoLabs PC + CF Polycarbonate with Carbon Fiber - 1.75 - Black

Technical Data Sheet available in the attachment tab.

Polycarbonate is an extremely strong, impact resistant thermoplastic that is widely used in industrial applications. This material does not shatter like plexiglass. It tends to bend and deform similar to hard rubber until it eventually breaks. PC absorbs a lot of moisture in the air. It is a hygroscopic material, and it is best to store in an airtight container when not in use. Even during use the material can become unprintable within a 24 hour print if in a humid environment. Therefore, keeping in an airtight container during printing as well is ideal. Dry filament will print more clear. Filament that has absorbed moisture will print white as well as pop and bubble during the print. We usually don't leave PC+ out for more than 3 days.

Carbon fiber reinforcement not only makes for stronger and more resilient prints, but also helps mitigate warping and allows for cleaner overhangs when compared to non-filled variants.

Our PC+ differs from pure PC as it contains additives to make it easier to print reliably.

Advantages

    High strength and heat resistance

    Malleable while cold and can be bent without cracking

    Exceptionally durable

    Carbon Fiber filled for stronger prints!

Disadvantages

    Hygroscopic!!

    Abrasive, use a hardened steel nozzle.
