User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know what this is actually made of? it has the letters "pc" in the title, but it never says "polycarbonate" and extrudes at low temps
Answer:	Dear Customer, Thank you for your support to Priline. The PC in the title refers to the material of polycarbonate. To improve the characteristic of the filament, we used modified PC. So the temperature is not very high. If you have any suggestion, just tell us and we will try to develop. Thank you Priline Direct
Question:	What is the density of this filament
Answer:	Hi, the density of our Carbon fiber PC is about 1.22-1.25g/cm³. Thank you.
Question:	Is Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate printable on an ender 3 pro
Answer:	I've had great results on my Ender 3. 250c nozzle, 100c bed and lower the fan speed a bit for better layer adhesion.
Question:	Carbon Fiber powder or strands
Answer:	I took a 1 inch long piece of PRILINE carbon fiber PC filament and torched away the plastic to reveal the carbon fiber. Under magnification, the carbon fiber hairs could easily be seen, contained in burnt plastic remnants and sitting in the ashes. I estimated about %5-10 carbon fiber volume to plastic. The fibers were short, maybe .010" long; aka the dangerous kind to inhale and irritating to the skin. The risk comes typically when the material is sanded, saw cut, etc. I don't know what carbon fiber powder is, but the carbon does not appear to have been added as long linear fibers or tows, but as a short milled fiber resulting in isotropic reinforcement. I've printed several parts using this filament, and they print extremely well, and have good strength and stiffness, and a sexy matte black finish.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you sell a black nylon filament with a glass or carbon fiber filler? Looking for something ok for ~100-125C max intermittant
Answer:	@3D-Fuel He obviously knows what extrusion temp you need in order to print this type of filament... He was asking you if there were any filaments that you made or had for sale that is able to withstand up to 125*C Degrees Centigrade with intermittent high and lows between 100 to 125 degrees... So If you see this maybe re-adjust your answer to not look like you just picked out an answer from a hat and went with it. Now to actually answer your question with some common sense and actual knowledge unlike this so-called (Seller); If you look into some Polycarbonate or depending on what it is, some High Temp Nylon 6 or for really rigid or mechanical parts go for some Tulmans Alloy 910 Nylon Filament or some of the best stuff being that or CoTPE or the best of them all IMO is SainSmart CoPA with Pure strength, durability, and Heat deflection up to 180*C which is just cray cray!! But better come prepared because it's not only a powerful filament, It is actually INSANELY EASY TO PRINT WITH!!
Question:	Do I have to bake the print to get the better thermal/impact resistance? If so what temperature and how long
Answer:	You DO need to anneal (bake) to get better thermal resistance, but don't need to anneal the prints for better impact resistance than PLA or ABS. However, if you want to increase the impact resistance even further, annealing will double the impact strength.
Question:	Is this a matte black or glossy once printed
Answer:	Our Pro PLA is more of a matte finish and is not highly glossy. Sometimes, printing at different temps can produce a more glossy finish. But it is mostly Matte.

Answer:	Hi there, Thank you so much for contacting us. Glass transition temperature:113 (°C) ; Testing method: DSC, 10 °C/min Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further help. Best Regards, Polymaker
Question:	any advice for parts warping off the bed. I've tried several things. large prints suffer the most. Also what solvent should I use to make glue
Answer:	Just want to comment on this since the other answer suggested BuildTak, and for anyone in the future who comes across this. Regular BuildTak sheets are essentially polycarbonate, which sticks extremely well to itself. This will result in damage to your BuildTak sheet in almost every situation, even with a FlexPlate system. Long story short, don't use BuildTak sheets with PC or you'll permanently damage the sheet. I would recommend PEI, a bed temp of 95-105c, enclosed build chamber, and just regular glue stick. Nice evenly coated thin layer without leaving gaps. Apply glue stick while plate is room temp. If you still have trouble, Magigoo makes a PC adhesive. I've found that their regular PLA/ABS/etc adhesive works fine too. Mostly you'll want to maintain a constant and higher chamber temperature with cooling fans turned off. Rapid temperature drops will cause warping and other issues. Some people print with rafts for PC, but if the bottom of the printed object is important to you to be even and level, I would avoid a raft. PC doesn't cut away cleanly, and you'll be left with very rough textured bottom that will almost certainly require some decent post processing effort (such as sanding with a sanding block). It's hardness is it's weakness when needing to use supports or rafts. If you need more surface area in contact with the plate, I'd suggest a single layer wide brim. That's much easier to remove and would really only require sanding/filing/smoothing on the edges where the brim contacts the object.
Question:	I'm encountering mid print delamination at a variety of temperatures, flow rates, and printing speeds, with an enclosure. Why would this be happening
Answer:	Most of the time this problem come from the fan let switched on, please ensure that the fan is OFF during the printing. You can always contact [email protected] for further diagnosis.
Question:	Is a heated build volume recommended? Or will a heated build plate do
Answer:	Hi there, PolyMax PC can be printed with a heated build plate and enclosed chamber however for large parts it will perform better with a heated chamber. The closer to 80˚C the better to print large parts. >40˚C can already print relatively strong parts. We recommend to anneal the parts right after the printing process for the best mechanical properties. Please do not hesitate to let us know if I can help you with anything:)

At the Glass Transition Temp (Tg), the amorphous regions of a material begin to change from rigid to a more flexible state.

268°C Melt Temp

The Melt Temp is the temperature at which a substance begins its changes from a solid state into a liquid. The exact melting point depends on pressure and is usually measured at the specified 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.

What Is It?

Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material.

This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties.

What Does It Do?

Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:

• high stiffness
• high tensile strength
• high heat tolerance
• high chemical resistance
• low weight
• low thermal expansion

How Does It Work?

Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice.

What Is It Good For?

Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity.

For these reasons, carbon fiber reinforced filament is very popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the green translucent at all, or fully opaque (with 2 perims
Answer:	Fully Opaque. Great filament, using it right now.
Question:	How quickly must this be used after opening
Answer:	Most of the time it's ideal to keep your filament in a dry box when it's not in use as it will absorb moisture out of the air... there is no direct answer because how fast it become hard to use depends on the humidity where you are but you can always bake the filament if you find your starting to have moisture issues. I have used a lot of this filament and have never had an issue. To the point Geeetech filament is the only filament I use now and I have 5 printers with the 6th on the way
Question:	Do I need to remove from 3d printer and seal after every use? Description mentions to seal unfinished spool in the provided bag
Answer:	PETG filament can absorb moisture from the air. This causes stringing and some difficulty printing. It is recommended to keep PETG sealed in a container with desiccant to prevent this. That said, nylon is the most prone to absorbing water and pla is the least prone. In my experience, leaving PETG on the printer for a few days doesn’t affect it at all. When I remove the spool of PETG, I store it in a sealed container with desiccant.
Question:	Will these work well for an Ender
Answer:	I have a Crealty ender3 and it works great in it.

Product description

The Gizmo Dorks Polycarbonate filament, also known as PC filament, is a strong thermoplastic material used in 3D printing. Polycarbonate has many uses in everyday applications. It is a good electrical insulator while having heat-resistant properties. Polycarbonate is used in data storage for compact discs, DVD's and Blu-Ray's. It is used in many medical applications as well as for parts in today's advanced phones. It is commonly used in eye protection, and it is used after lamination to make bullet-proof glass.

Polycarbonate filament is such a great 3D material because of it's strength. It is a really strong material while still maintaining temperature resistance. Polycarbonate does not shatter like plexiglass. It tends to bend and deform similar to hard rubber until it eventually breaks. It also has high optical clarity. 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.

Extruding temperature is generally around 260C, depending on the printer. PC slowly softens when heated, unlike PLA which has a high transition temperature. Slower print speeds are preferred as an increase in temperature is required for faster prints. Polyimide tape (Kapton) should be used on a heated bed, ~120C. Some users prefer applying glue or superglue on a glass bed and then heating to ~120C-130C. Please do not inhale any fumes. Heated up superglue can release toxic fumes, so only use in a well ventilated area.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know what the length of the filament is
Answer:	The filament length is approximately 125 meters.
Question:	Will this filament work with the monoprice maker ultimate 2 3d printer, which has a maximum nozzle temperature of 250°c here
Answer:	You would probably have a hard time printing with polycarbonate filament. Polycarbonate should be printed with at least 260 C but the filament likes to be printed closer to the 290 C range.
