HATCHBOX PC Transparent Black Known for its strength, toughness, and heat resistance, Polycarbonate (PC) is a strong thermoplastic that is optically transparent. PC's ability to withstand heat and its impact resistance are essential for 3D printing success.

1 KG (approximately 2. 20 lbs) Spool
So I purchased a spool of this, and printed some of the best prints I have ever seen, it removed from the bed perfectly, and was just overall amazing to use. The second spool of this that I purchased I have had consistent issues with. It adheres to the bed too well, and bonded to 2 different beds and ruined them completely.Test adhesion on something you don't care about, the faulty roll also left a bunch of white residue, so I don't know if maybe it was contaminated with something, or missing something.Purchased a Monoprice Maker Select Pro Ultimate 3D Printer and have been printing with PLA, ABS, TPU & Wood. I decided to try Polycarbonate. I have had excellent results with all Hacthbox filaments especially with their ABS and Wood products so I decided to try their Polycarbonate. All I can say is WOW! This product printed great on the very first try and boy is it strong! I am printing on Borosilicate Glass with a coating of hairspray without any issues (even for all of the above mentioned filaments). I do have Wolfbite on hand just in case I run into any issued with adhesion or warping (but none yet). I highly recommend this product, if your all metal hot end can get to the recommended temperature. The prices of filament vary by manufacturer for specific filament materials but remember you do get what you pay for. Yes other less expensive brands may work for you but I just don't want to take a chance of a failed print after many hours of being successful. Stick with a brand that works for you. You shouldn't be disappointed with this product, I sure am not.Solid filament and when able to print pieces with plenty of material contacting the bed. I run a FF Creator Pro and I tried prints with this on the original bed material, glass, and then PEI. I was never able to fully dial in settings to get what I needed but it was close, still had some lifting. Trying PETG now.I printed this on my Dremel Digilab 3D45 and it came out excellent! Probably my most favorite Filament to date!You have to have an enclose 3D printer as this require a lot of heat for good layer adhesion. And a heated bed is a must if you want to print this.Print settings:Bed Temp: 100cNozzle: 260cFans: OFFLayer: .2Speed: 40Infill: 30 to 80% both have printed perfectBrim: 7linesSupports: If needed not on this printI've been scared to buy Chinese filaments. I've also been stupid. This stuff prints smoother and is stronger then any pc I've ever used. I'm guessing this is what real pc prints like. Plus I didn't realize this was translucent black. But I don't mind I really do like it a lot. I'll be sticking with this brand for a while. usually I only write reviews when I'm mad about something. not this time if that tells you anything.Excellent for filament, easy to work with, strong and flawless. I think PC is one of the easiest filaments to print with. It has no strings, doesn’t warp and bridges well.Heater bed set to 105c hot end 145-150. Doesn’t need much in retraction.Worked pretty well. I didn't have any issues with it.The product was shipped out quickly. So far so good.
