Standard polycarbonate is already one of the toughest, most heat-tolerant materials you can run on a desktop printer — PC FR adds a flame-retardant package that meets the \u003cstrong\u003eUL 94-2023 V-0\u003c\/strong\u003e standard, meaning a vertically mounted test specimen self-extinguishes within 10 seconds. That combination makes it the filament to reach for when a part sits near electronics, motors, heaters or mains wiring and a PLA or PETG part simply wouldn't be appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;line-height:1.7\"\u003eIt suits electrical enclosures and junction boxes, power-supply and battery housings, machine guards, light fittings, drone and RC components, jigs that live near heat sources, and functional prototypes for engineering, education and small-batch manufacturing. It's an engineering material rather than a beginner one — if you're running an enclosed printer and you're comfortable with ABS or ASA, PC FR is a logical next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:2px solid #FCD361;margin:24px 0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif;color:#020873;margin-bottom:12px\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2.6\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003eUL 94 V-0 flame retardant\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003eHigh heat resistance (~114 °C Vicat)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003eHigh impact strength\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003e±0.03 mm diameter tolerance\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003eAMS compatible with RFID\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0;border:1px solid #2B4CB9;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 16px;font-size:0.9em\"\u003e3 colours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;line-height:1.7\"\u003eWorks with enclosed Bambu Lab machines (X1 series, P1S, P2S and similar) and any other enclosed printer that can reach 280 °C at the nozzle and 110 °C on the bed.

Dry a new or shelf-stored spool at 80 °C for 8 hours before the first print, and run it straight from a dryer or an AMS with fresh desiccant. In humid coastal parts of Australia this makes the difference between a strong part and a disappointing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;line-height:1.7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl the temperature swing.\u003c\/strong\u003e PC FR shrinks as it cools, so tall or wide parts can warp or crack mid-print in an open printer. Keep the enclosure closed, keep the part cooling fan low, use a brim on large footprints and print on a clean textured PEI or engineering plate with a light glue-stick layer for release. And remember the V-0 rating describes flammability under a standard test — it doesn't make a part suitable for load-bearing or certified electrical use on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f8ff;border-left:4px solid #020873;border-radius:4px;padding:18px 22px;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;margin-top:24px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif;color:#020873\"\u003eStock held in Australia · Fast dispatch · GST-inclusive pricing\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bambu Lab","offers":[{"title":"Gray (63102)","offer_id":53525443772705,"sku":"BAMBU-LAB-FILAMENT-PC-FR-GRAY-63102","price":83.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White (63101)","offer_id":53525443805473,"sku":"BAMBU-LAB-FILAMENT-PC-FR-WHITE-63101","price":83.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black (63100)","offer_id":53525443838241,"sku":"BAMBU-LAB-FILAMENT-PC-FR-BLACK-63100","price":83.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5046\/9153\/files\/5b1907cd8c1d4ced8910fee16c3c11d7.jpg?v=1789742592","url":"https:\/\/ne3dprinting.myshopify.com\/products\/bambu-lab-filament-pc-fr","provider":"NE3D Printing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
