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.

Need suggestions
Size: Large, Style: Ultra Tug
This was a great toy but my 9 month old puppy (65 lbs ). Chewed it up within 3 hours. Any suggestions? I am really trying to find a tugging toy that can with stand him. He is a significant chewer.

Super fun concept, but material needs improving.
Size: Small, Style: Ultra Tug
The concept - amazing. The materials used? - not so much. Our senior Chorgi is not even a super chewer,yet he managed to get a tiny piece chewed off of the ball in under 10 minutes. Also, the handle is not flexible enough. It's like a hard, tough, sharp and thick nylon material. You can see how they were trying to make it more durable,but there jas got to be an alternative material. This nylon is sharp on their gums and roof if mouth. For now I am watching our dog carefully with it, because he loves how it bounces funny so its more fun to chase. Fur babies are pur children. You would not leave a 2 ur old alone to play with a toy, would you? I'm just not sure i'd buy another. I bought 3 at once. Returning 2 .

Excellent tug toy!
Size: Large Triple, Size: Large Triple
My dog had this set of 3 interlocking rings for 7 years and they finally broke. I was so happy to be able to get a replacement set that is just as durable as the original! Just ask our Gretzky to, “get your rings” and she knows exactly what to find. She can tug these for an hour and not lose interest. She loves them. They are the perfect size for her to grab comfortably and for her human playmate to hold onto the other ring in opposition. Gretzky is half Boxer, about 85lbs and all muscle. For her first set to withstand years of tugging without breaking was surprising but they’re made well and as long as you don’t allow your dog to just sit and chew them, they’ll give you years of tugging playtime!

Simple! Easy! All We Needed!!
Size: Large Triple
These were the only durable rubber like rings that were both the same material; not too thick (not heavy) so my 1 year old Pit, Dixie, was able to latch on to one ring while we grabbed the third ring, leaving enough space so she won't accidentally bite us when grabbing the rings to play. They were also the only ones that came interlocked and cannot be taken apart. She is also a big chewer, which means she can gnaw on these without tearing them apart. The rubber is thick enough to play, but thin enough to twist and flex with her. So far, they are sturdy. She was immediately so excited! Simple and easy!

Great durable dog toy!!
Size: Large Triple
We have a medium-sized dog (45 lb mixed Aussie/Hound) who is a pretty aggressive chewer. He also loves playing tug-of-war with his canine and human siblings using these rings. This is easily his favorite toy. We bought one a little over a year ago that he plays with daily. If finally broke this December just in time to buy a replacement for Christmas! The prior one finally broke when the middle ring came apart at one of the thinner rubber points. He still plays with the intact outer rings as well as his new toy. I wanted to dock this 1/2 star for a few reasons: 1) it is not completely invincible, although I would argue a toy that lasts over a year with pretty constant play for an $11 price tag is a great value. 2) the one we received is not yellow/black. It is blue/green. I was personally thrilled it was blue/green because it ended up being an exact replacement of the one we had previously. However the description does not say "colors vary" and it was hard for me to tell when ordering if I was ordering the correct replacement toy. A clearer description would be appreciated. 3) This is a great toy for one dog, but our other dobbie/cattle dog mix has no interest in them. So not all dogs will love this toy (obviously). 4.5 stars isn't an option so I'm giving this 5 stars because it's just about as close to a perfect dog toy as one can buy (at least for our dog).
