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.

great dog toy for small and large!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Gator
we have a very large silver lab that tears through toys, and very fast! some toys only last a day while others last a week or so... he has yet to tear this on up at all and we have had it for about 3 weeks. we also have a very small teacup yorkie, so some toys we get he cannot even play with, this one he can squeak and carry around which is great! it very quickly became one of their favorite toys! will buy again if he ever does destroy it !!! update: after a month of the lab and small yorkie playing with this some of the fabric stared to tear on the end of the toy, they still love it and it still squeaks perfectly fine. didn't think it would last this long with the big lab, will order new one when they do finally destroy it for good

A must have for my little puppers
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Monkey
Bought this for a Chihuahua. He came from a bad situation that gave him screaming dreams of terror in the middle of the night, waking up, screaming. I would find him frozen in absolute terror. Poor dude. Now, he seems full of rage, and I get it because I know half of his story. And we love him anyway. He has 2 big brothers that will help show him the way, living his best life ever! Long story short; I first started buying this Petstages toy many years ago for my blind MinPin. Seeing it still, out here for sale always puts a smile on my face. Back then, they were a better quality. Now-a-days, the material around the squeaky is on the loose side, making it easier to destroy when my big dogs get it. Still, it brings back wonderful memories, is soft for a small dog that doesn’t destroy his things, it squeaks and they are usually loud (which is a must have, if you ask me), and it is cute to boot!

THE favorite toy
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Shark, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Shark
I found this toy used at a thrift store almost 1 year ago. My Shih tzu mix loved it so much till all the seams ripped out and 2 out of 3 squeekers fell out and it was shambles, hardly usable at all. 1 week ago I decided to try my luck to find a similar shark toy for Finnegan. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found THE EXACT same toy!! When I unboxed it, I put the old and new side-by-side and imagine his surprise, it was priceless! Very pleased with this.

Best Dog Toy Ever!
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Monkey, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Monkey
Unbelievable. See below previous reviews. Today is 3/22/2023 (4th Update): Cavachon is now three years old. THIS MONKEY is STILL played with DAILY. She’s played with and lost interest in dozens of other toys in the past three years, but Monkey is always the go-to. Now only on Monkey #6, which is remarkable considering the daily torture she puts Monkey through. Other toys get destroyed, but Monkey endures. This toy is our dog’s best friend and playmate! 10/9/21 (3rd update): Its rare that any toy (without food inside) keeps the interest of our Cavachon for even 30 minutes… yet day after day, she runs around with Monkey for at least an hour. She’s on her 4th Monkey… and this thing gets mauled, chewed, super-squeaked, fetched, and shook violently EVERY DAY. Durability times ten! 2/21/21 (2nd Update): Crazy pup is now 14 months old, and she plays DAILY with “monkey”! She’s on her third monkey because eventually she pulls off the tail, but each of her first two lasted months. ORIGINAL REVIEW MAY 2020: There is something really special about this monkey... Our 5-month-old Cavachon LOVES this toy. I recently ordered a second one, in case she wears out the first one. She knows it’s her “monkey” and finds it when we ask her “Where’s monkey?” She fetches it, walks around squeaking it, and she also zooms around the house shaking it furiously by the tail. She’s been playing with, and chewing on all parts of It, DAILY for three months. In the photo, you can compare the brand-new one, still on the cardboard, with the one she’s mauled for three months. Not much difference. I would say this is an extremely durable, and safe, toy.
