Polycarbonate
Choose your polycarbonate filament
Compare 1.75mm PC, PC Blend and carbon fiber PC for functional prints. Match the grade to your part and your printer's capabilities before choosing a spool.
Open a product to check current availability and its printing guidance. PC, PC Blend and PC-CF use different formulations and should be selected individually.

Polycarbonate filament for functional 3D prints
Shop polycarbonate filament in Canada for prototypes, fixtures and mechanical projects where heat and mechanical performance matter. Spool3D carries three 1.75mm options: PC, PC Blend and PC Carbon Fiber. Compare the grade's technical data with the conditions your finished part will face.
| Filament | Listed colours and sizes | Main selection point |
|---|---|---|
| PC | Black; 500 g or 1 kg | Check that your printer meets this grade's nozzle, bed and heated-chamber requirements. |
| PC Blend | Black, Grey, Translucent or White; 1 kg | A blend with its own processing requirements and a choice of colours. |
| PC Carbon Fiber | Black; 500 g or 1 kg | A reinforced option that needs an abrasion-resistant nozzle. |
PC or PC Blend?
Our PC Blend has a lower published nozzle-temperature range than the PC listing. It still has specific bed and chamber requirements, so check the complete product guidance when assessing your printer. Choose the formulation for its documented properties and your intended use, then confirm the equipment needed to print it.
When should I compare PC Carbon Fiber?
Consider PC-CF when stiffness is a priority. Carbon filling changes the material's behaviour; it does not improve every property equally. Compare the selected grade's technical data for the loads and impacts your part will experience. Use a wear-resistant nozzle compatible with your hotend and the filament's printing requirements. You can also compare other base materials in our fiber reinforced filament range.
Can my printer handle this grade?
Check the hotend's rated temperature, heated-bed capability, build surface and chamber requirements before ordering. An enclosure can help control cooling and warping, but a passive enclosure may not reach a grade's specified chamber temperature. Follow the selected product's guidance and your printer manufacturer's operating limits.
Bed preparation matters too. Use a surface and adhesion or release method recommended for the exact PC formulation and build plate. Treat temperature settings for another brand or blend as a separate recipe.
Storage, drying and nozzle choice
Keep PC filament sealed with desiccant between uses. Follow the grade's drying instructions when drying is needed, checking that both the spool and dryer can tolerate the specified temperature. Carbon fiber does not remove moisture-management requirements. For PC-CF, browse replacement nozzles and select an abrasion-resistant model that fits your printer.
Which option comes in translucent?
PC Blend has a Translucent colour option alongside Black, Grey and White. The PC and PC-CF listings here are black. Choose the listed colour for your project rather than assuming all polycarbonate filament has the same appearance.
