Before you print

2 things to know about this spool

Dry it before you print
It quietly soaks up moisture from the air, which leaves prints rough, weak and stringy. Dry it at 80-90°C for about 6-8 hours first, then keep it sealed.
80-90 °C~6-8 h
Print inside an enclosure
It cools too fast in open air and can warp or crack. A closed-in printer holds the heat around the print.

New here? Nozzle = printing temperature in your slicer, bed = build plate. Start at the big number.

Nozzle is the hot-end temperature: enter it as the printing temperature in your slicer. Start at the big number; the range is the safe window to tune within.
Bed is the heated build plate: your slicer calls it bed temperature. It helps prints stick.
OFD is the Open Filament Database, the community-maintained database this catalog is built on.

Editorial notesUpdated 2026-05-10

Requires all-metal hot-end rated to at least 260 °C. PTFE-lined hot-ends are not safe at these temperatures.

Dry thoroughly (80 °C, 8+ hours) before printing. Moisture causes weak, bubbly layers.

Needs a high-temp setup: nozzle 260-280 °C, bed 100-120 °C, and an enclosure to prevent warping. A stock Bambu X1C or Voron-style enclosed printer handles it well. Open-frame printers like the Ender 3 will struggle. Dry the filament thoroughly (80 °C for 8-12 h) before printing. PC is extremely hygroscopic (it soaks up moisture from the air), and that moisture causes bubbling and weak layers.
