Product description
Product description
Prusament PC Blend Prusa Orange 900g (NFC) is a professional polycarbonate filament for users who need exceptionally durable and long-lasting prints. PC Blend is a specially developed polycarbonate blend optimized for desktop 3D printing – compared to standard PC materials it has better bed adhesion and lower deformation (warping), making it suitable for printing larger and functionally stressed parts.
Thanks to its high heat resistance (approx. 113 °C), excellent impact resistance and strength, it is ideal for technical, mechanical and automotive applications, jigs, fixtures, holders, covers, assembly aids, functional prototypes and parts for demanding environments.
The rich Prusa Orange shade provides excellent visibility of details and is suitable for safety and highlighting features.
The version with an NFC chip allows compatible Prusa printers to automatically read information about the material, color and remaining amount of filament.
Key features
- PC Blend material (polycarbonate blend) – optimized for desktop 3D printing
- High temperature resistance – up to approx. 113 °C
- Very high mechanical strength and toughness
- Excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures
- Excellent dimensional stability – minimal deformation, low warping
- Good adhesion to the print bed (using a separation layer – glue stick)
- Low hygroscopicity – drying before printing is usually not necessary
- Styrene-free
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Easy sanding (wet and dry) for a smooth surface and post-processing
- Striking orange Prusa Orange color – ideal for functional as well as design parts
- Integrated NFC chip – transfer of spool data to compatible Prusa printers
Recommended applications
- Functional prototypes and final mechanical parts
- Technical components, jigs and holders
- Covers and components for elevated temperatures
- Parts for automotive, workshop and industrial environments
- Impact-resistant parts, protective elements, assembly templates
PC Blend is intended rather for advanced users – it requires higher printing temperatures and ideally a partially enclosed or fully enclosed printer.
Printing settings (guideline values)
Specific values may vary depending on the printer, nozzle and ambient conditions.
Temperatures
- Nozzle temperature: approx. 275 ± 10 °C
- Bed temperature: approx. 110 ± 10 °C
Print bed
- Surface: smooth or textured PEI sheet
- A separation layer is required – glue stick recommended (e.g. Kores)
- Without glue there is a risk of damaging the print sheet due to strong adhesion
Cooling and environment
- Fan: approx. 20 % (low to medium cooling)
- Recommended: enclosing the printer or using an enclosure, limiting drafts and printing in a non-cold environment
Tips for reducing deformation (warping)
- Increase the bed temperature within the recommended range
- Use a brim of at least 4 mm or a tall skirt
- Place the model in the center of the bed
- For larger parts, reduce infill and the number of perimeters
- Print rather smaller objects or split the model into parts
Compatibility and NFC usage
- Compatible with FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of printing at approx. 275 °C on the nozzle and 110 °C on the bed
- Ideally Original Prusa i3 MK3S/MK3.5/MK4, MINI/MINI+ and others with a suitable hotend and heated bed
- NFC chip: on supported Prusa printers it allows automatic loading of the material profile and tracking of remaining filament (depending on the specific printer generation/firmware)
