Black - Standard PC+ Filament - 1.75mm, 1kg
Standard PC+ Filament 1.75mm – 1kg
Standard PC+ filament is a high-performance polycarbonate blend engineered for makers, engineers, professionals, and advanced users who require stronger, tougher, and more heat-resistant 3D printed parts. Designed for demanding functional applications, PC+ combines the strength and durability associated with polycarbonate materials while improving printability compared to traditional pure PC filaments.
This 1.75mm PC+ filament delivers excellent mechanical strength, high impact resistance, and dependable dimensional stability, making it ideal for functional prototypes, engineering components, brackets, tooling, enclosures, and workshop applications.
PC+ is well suited for users seeking industrial-style material performance on compatible desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers.
Key Features & Benefits

Printability & Material Performance
PC+ is designed for users who require stronger and more heat-resistant parts than standard consumer filaments can provide.
Key material characteristics include:
- High impact resistance
- Strong mechanical performance
- Excellent durability
- Improved thermal resistance
