Brand: Filazoo
SKU: PC-SOLID-001
Price: 29.9 USD
Availability: InStock

Print tough, rigid, and temperature-resistant functional components with Filazoo PC Filament. Polycarbonate is suited to demanding prototypes, machine parts, protective housings, tools, brackets, and components requiring greater impact and heat performance than standard consumer filaments.

PC requires a high-temperature hotend, heated bed, enclosed build chamber, and careful moisture control. It is recommended for experienced users with compatible equipment.

FAQ

Can every printer use PC filament?

No. PC needs a hotend and build plate that can safely hold high temperatures, ideally with an enclosed chamber. It's the most demanding material we stock. PC vs. ABS vs. ASA vs. PETG covers whether you actually need PC or whether ASA or PETG will do the job.

Why is a release layer recommended for PC?

PC can bond hard enough to damage the build surface when the part cools. A thin layer of compatible adhesive works as both an adhesion aid and a release layer, protecting the plate. Our bed adhesion guide covers surface prep for each plate type.

Does PC need to be dried?

Yes. Moisture causes bubbles, rough extrusion, stringing, and a real drop in strength. Dry it thoroughly and print from a dry box. How to dry filament at home compares the equipment options, and how to store filament properly covers keeping it dry.

Is PC suitable for transparent parts?

Some natural PC formulations look translucent, but printed parts are never optically clear without specialized printing and post-processing. If you want light diffusion rather than clarity, our PETG Translucent Gradient is a better starting point — see how to read a filament spec sheet for what we publish on every product page.
