Best 3D printers for PC
Polycarbonate is one of the hardest filaments to print. It needs 260–300°C nozzle temps, a hot enclosure, and a surface that handles 100–120°C bed temps. Very few printers do this reliably.
Must-have
- Enclosure with 50°C+ chamber
- Nozzle to 280–300°C
- All-metal hotend
- Bed to 110°C+
Nice to have
- Hardened steel nozzle
- Brim or raft for adhesion
- Slow first layer
