Polymaker™ PC-ABS is a PC/ABS polymer blend which offers excellent toughness and heat resistance while displaying a good surface finish and good compatibility with metal plating. ​Polymaker™ PC-ABS is based on a specialty blend well suited for metallising. Polymaker™ PC-ABS can be metallised by deposition of a metallic layer in a high vacuum or by electroless plating. The post-processing characteristics and heat resistance of Polymaker™ PC-ABS make it an ideal material for automotive interior parts such as dashboard, door handles or instrument panels alongside general purpose prototyping and manufacturing applications.

Features

  • Excellent Toughness - Polymaker™ PC-ABS is a durable material offering excellent toughness and impact strength while combining the heat resistance of PC with the flexibility of ABS. Polymaker™ PC-ABS is an ideal material for a range of engineering and industrial applications and is a popular choice for automotive parts, functional prototyping, and industrial applications requiring heat resistance & impact resistance.
  • Heat Resistant - Polymaker™ PC-ABS offers great heat resistance with a heat deflection temperature up to 111.7℃ (0.45MPa), well suited for a wide range of automotive and engineering applications.
  • Good Surface Finish  - Polymaker™ PC-ABS renders parts with a good surface finish and displays good surface adhesion which makes it easier to post process. Polymaker™ PC-ABS is well-suited for painting. bonding and specialised for surface finishings, i.e. by electroless plating and metallisation. Proper preparation of the surface is important for the metallising process but Polymaker™ PC-ABS can be metallised by deposition of a metallic layer in a high vacuum or by electroless plating. In the metal deposition process, the best adhesion is achieved with aluminium, tin and copper. As protection for the very thin layer of metal, a coating of paint on the moulding is recommended. In the case of electroless plating, Polymaker™ PC-ABS offers the best adhesion for the electroless plating for its first layer.
  • Bonding & Welding - Polymaker™ PC-ABS parts can be joined together by ultrasonic, vibration, friction, hot plate or laser welding. Polymaker™ PC-ABS parts can be bonded not only to one another, but also to other materials. This is possible using suitable adhesive glues or diffusion adhesive. In the case of adhesive glues, two-component adhesives based on epoxy and silicone resins and polyurethanes have proved excellent. 
  • Formulated For 3D Printing - Using Covestro’s Bayblend® family as its base material, Polymaker™ PC-ABS is specifically engineered for 3D printing to combine excellent mechanical properties and printing quality. Bayblend® is a commonly used plastic in the automotive and information technology industry. Enclosure and 90°C heated bed required; a heated chamber is highly recommended.

Printing Settings

  • Nozzle Temperature: 250°C - 270°C
  • Build Plate Temperature: 90°C - 105°C
  • Build Surface Material:
    • Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass, BuildTak® etc
    • Rigid build plates recommended compared to magnetic flex plates though this does depend on bed magnetism.
  • Build Surface Treatment: Apply Magigoo PC or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion.
  • Enclosure: Highly recommended.
  • Heated Chamber: Highly recommended, 90˚C - 100 ˚C required for some geometries.
  • Cooling Fan:    
    • OFF for most printers.
    • LOW FAN speed may be required inside some heated chambers.
  • Printing Speed: 30 mm/s - 50 mm/s
  • Retraction: The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer and depend on the hot end. The following settings have been a good starting point for many machines.
    • Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 1mm with retraction speed of 20mm/s
    • Bowden: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 40mm/s
  • Recommended Support Material: Self-support.

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

PC-ABS requires a stable and hot printing environment. Before printing we recommend to pre-heat your build plate 20 - 30 minutes before printing. In colder climates a longer pre-heating time may be useful. For users printing without an actively heated chamber, be mindful of the part size and infil density, larger or denser parts will use more material which will result in more residual stresses within your part.

Annealing PC-ABS

For the best mechanical performance it is recommended to anneal parts printed in Polymaker™ PC-ABS. Annealing is the process of heating up the printed parts at a certain temperature for a certain period of time. The purpose of annealing Polymaker™ PC-ABS is to release the internal stress which accumulates during the printing process. If not annealed soon after the printing process, internal stress can create micro cracks over time and weaken the part.

Annealing Settings - 90˚C for 2 hours.

Specifications

  • Net Weight    1kg
  • Material Type    PC-ABS
  • Density    1.1 (g/cm3 at 21.5˚C) 

Compatibility

Polymaker™ PC-ABS has been engineered with 3D printing in mind however please note this material requires a heated bed and enclosure. C-ABS is a blend of PolyCarbonate and ABS, the ideal printing settings and requirements of different PC-ABS blends can vary. We highly recommend printing with an actively heated chamber for the best printing results.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.

Terrible pillows
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows might be fine if you need them for a decorative sham, but definitely NOT to sleep on. They are super lumpy and soft, days after taking them out of package. It seems like there are just bunches of cotton strips in a row that are hard to fluff. They are also dark in some areas, so it looks like the pillow is stained, when in fact it's whatever material the stuffing is. I can't return them because they won't fit back in the box. Super disappointing.

Comfortable from the first night
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
I found them comfortable and with good support for the head and neck. They are wide in size and feel soft when lying down. After several days of use they continue to retain their shape without problem.

Not as Firm as I had hoped
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
A good pillow. However, there is quite a difference between the manufacturer's and my idea of "medium firmness". I found this pillow much softer than I had anticipated. I'll have to go for firmer for my next purchase.

I admit when I was wrong.
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
3/29/26 - I took the pillows and put them in my dryer on steam refresh for the default 10 minute cycle. OMG - they fluffed up and evened out to be soft and comfortable, no lumps whatsoever. If you like a soft pillow with some support, but not firm support, THIS is what you want. I am truly amazed. ================================================== Previous review---They arrived in a vacuum seal bag. When you cut the bag and they inflate, they inflate lumpy like. Some areas are thick and some have to fill so, not very good. I am going to try washing them and drying them to see if they fluff up better. Will post the results in a day or two.

Immediate neck and back pain
Size: Queen - Pack of 2, Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
Nice full pillows that holds its shape, BUT was NOT good head and neck support. I noticed an immediate difference. From non existent to growing neck pain in the first night’s use, through the week.
