Hey Everyone,
Just making this post to share my experience with printing Polycarbonate.
I ordered black, 1.75mm polycarbonate from filaments.ca
Printing on my wilson TS. The bed is made of boroscilicate glass.
I initially tested with a layer of 3Dlac and a bed at 100C
Here are the precautions I took to ensure the filament would stay dry. This, I have read, is important for polycarbonate.
Unfortunetly, this first attemp did not work out. The PC ripped off the bed a few layers in, probably due to warping forces.
More to come!
