PolyCarbonate Carbon Fibre Filament

PC-CF is PC with the addition of Carbon Fibre, it is one of the most capable Functional Polymers in the world.

Flame retardant level: UL94:V2
PCCF handles a 140C operating temperature, at par with Carbon Nylons.
Its also low hygroscopy, so absorbs less moisture than Nylon 6 filament.
PC also has better UV stability than materials like ABS or PETg, almost at par with ASA.

And this Carbon fiber blended material is easier to print than ABS.
Print temperature range: 260-280℃;

ABS, ASA or blended ABSPC will only handle 85C in most continuous high temperature applications.
You can go over 120C in PC-CF.

Description

What is Carbon Fibre PC ?

PC-CF is a PolyCarbonate 3D Filament reinforced with carbon fibre. This offers excellent thermal properties, strength & stiffness, and an amazing matted surface finish.
The addition of carbon fibre reduces warping and allows for easier printing.

The vast majority of PolyCarbonate 3D Filament used is mixed with ABS & thus called ABS-PC.
While ABS blended PC is slightly better than ABS, it loses the biggest benefits of PC

3D Printing PC-CF has some challenges but it is very easy to get right.
Heat the bed as hot as your machine supports, ideally 100C +.
Use a PEI sheet for bed adhesion. Please see our popular 300×300 PEI sheets here.

We recommend you use PC-CF only with an enclosed 3d printer.
If you must use an open frame unit, setup extraction or at least have very good ventilation.
For frequent Polycarbonate 3d printing, consider a machine with active chamber filters, like our Creatbot F430
