White - Standard PC+ Filament - 1.75mm, 1kg
Standard PC+ Filament 1.75mm – 1kg
Standard PC+ filament is a high-strength polycarbonate blend developed for makers, engineers, advanced hobbyists, and professionals producing durable functional components and engineering-grade prototypes. Designed to deliver improved printability compared to traditional pure polycarbonate materials, PC+ combines toughness, heat resistance, and strong layer adhesion for demanding FDM 3D printing applications.
This 1.75mm PC+ filament is engineered for reliable extrusion, durable mechanical performance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for production-oriented projects, tooling, brackets, enclosures, robotics, and structural applications.
PC+ is an excellent material choice for users requiring stronger and more temperature-resistant parts than standard PLA or PETG can provide.
Key Features & Benefits
Engineering-Grade Strength
PC+ is designed for high-strength functional parts exposed to mechanical stress and repeated use.
Improved Heat Resistance
Offers greater thermal stability than common consumer-grade materials, making it suitable for elevated-temperature environments.
Excellent Impact Resistance
Produces tough, durable components with improved resistance to cracking and brittle failure.
Strong Layer Bonding
Reliable interlayer adhesion improves structural integrity and overall part durability.
Improved Polycarbonate Printability
PC+ blends are generally easier to print than traditional pure polycarbonate materials while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
Typical Applications
Standard PC+ filament is ideal for:
- Functional engineering prototypes
- Manufacturing aids
- Robotics components
- Tooling and fixtures
- Mechanical brackets
- Electronic enclosures
- Workshop accessories
- Structural components
- Utility parts
- Production-focused printing
Printability & Material Performance
PC+ is engineered for advanced desktop FDM users seeking strong functional performance and reliable durability.
Key material characteristics include:
- High mechanical strength
- Excellent impact resistance
- Improved thermal resistance
- Strong dimensional stability
- Durable layer adhesion
- Functional engineering-grade performance
Compared to PLA and PETG, PC+ provides greater structural performance and heat resistance for demanding applications where durability matters.
For best results, PC+ should be printed with elevated nozzle temperatures, heated beds, and stable print environments. Enclosed printers are recommended to help reduce warping and improve print consistency during larger builds.
Proper filament storage is important because polycarbonate-based materials can absorb moisture from the air, potentially affecting extrusion quality and surface finish.
