Description

Anycubic PC is a polycarbonate filament for functional parts that need high strength and heat resistance. It shrugs off impacts and won't deform at high temperatures, making it a solid choice for load-bearing parts or anything that runs near a heat source. Unlike PLA and PETG, polycarbonate prints much hotter and needs an enclosure — but the finished part comes out nearly indestructible.

Print Settings

  • Nozzle temperature: 260–300 °C
  • Bed temperature: 100–120 °C
  • Print speed: 30–40 mm/s (recommended), up to 60 mm/s
  • Diameter: 1.75 mm
  • Enclosure required, plus an all-metal hotend and filament drying

Anycubic PC is built for engineering work: enclosures, brackets, gears, threaded parts, and anything under load or heat. You'll need a printer with an all-metal hotend rated to 300 °C, a heated bed up to 120 °C, and an enclosure — like the Anycubic Kobra Max, Bambu Lab X1C, QIDI, or other engineering-grade machines. Available in black, white, and translucent white.

FAQ

Yes, it's essential. Polycarbonate warps and delaminates badly with temperature swings. An enclosure traps heat around the part and shields it from drafts.
