How to get the most out of your PC
Always dry it
PC absorbs moisture. Dry it before use, for example for 8 hours at 80 °C, and store it airtight with desiccant below 20% humidity.
Build plate and glue
Use the Engineering, Smooth PEI or Textured PEI Plate at 100 to 120 °C with a glue stick. Liquid glue is not recommended.
Enclosed printer
PC prints at high temperatures and shrinks as it cools. An enclosed printer such as a P1S, P2S, X1 or H2D is needed for the best results.
Printing transparent
Transparent PC can affect the lidar calibration of the X1 series. Keep this in mind when calibrating.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special nozzle?
No, you don’t need a hardened steel nozzle for PC. Bambu Lab does advise against a 0.2 mm nozzle.
Does PC work in the AMS?
Yes, PC works in the AMS and the AMS lite. PC FR works in the AMS, but not in the AMS lite.
Can I print PC on an A1?
Bambu Lab advises against it. PC needs an enclosed printer to avoid warping and cracking.

No, you can only order what is actually in stock. Each product page shows how many units of each colour are available. If a colour is temporarily unavailable, ask to be notified on the product page or get in touch with us.
