Polycarbonate on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon
Yes, with a couple of cautions. Enclosed flagship with a hardened nozzle. Eats carbon-fiber filament out of the box.
Polycarbonate works on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, mind a couple of things
Use the lower end of the bed rangePrinter
Some Polycarbonate spools ask for up to 120 °C on the bed; the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon reaches 110 °C. Set the bed near 110 °C and add a glue stick if corners lift.
Enclosed chamber, exactly what this material wantsPrinter
The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is a closed box, so Polycarbonate cools slowly and evenly instead of warping.
Keep the spool dryMaterial
Polycarbonate soaks up moisture from the air, and damp filament prints rough and stringy. If that happens, dry the spool at 80-90 °C for 6-8 h and store it sealed with desiccant.
Safe starting ranges for Polycarbonate as a family, not gospel. Each spool below has its exact manufacturer numbers, the dated source, and one-click slicer settings on its page.
