Poly filament Polymaker PolyLite PC 1.75 mm 1 kg Transparent – polycarbonate 3D printing filament

PolyLite PC 1.75 mm 1 kg Transparent from Poly is a polycarbonate (PC) filament formulated for FDM/FFF 3D printing to produce strong, heat-resistant and dimensionally stable parts. This transparent filament is intended for functional prototypes, mechanical components and enclosures where impact resistance, thermal resistance and clear appearance are required. PolyLite PC offers good layer adhesion and consistent diameter to support reliable printing on printers capable of higher extrusion temperatures.

Advantages

PolyLite PC provides a balance of mechanical strength and thermal stability typical of polycarbonate materials while maintaining translucency suitable for applications that benefit from partial light transmission. The filament is manufactured with controlled diameter tolerance to reduce feeding issues and improve surface quality. Its formulation supports good interlayer bonding, enhancing the structural integrity of printed parts used under mechanical stress or elevated temperatures.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes that require impact resistance and heat stability
• Enclosures and housings for electronics or small machinery
• Mechanical components such as brackets, gears and fixtures
• Parts that need partial transparency for visual inspection or light diffusion

Key specifications

• Material: polycarbonate (PC)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Net weight: 1 kg
• Color/appearance: transparent / translucent
• Suitability: FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of high-temperature extrusion
• Typical properties: high impact resistance, good thermal resistance, good layer adhesion

How to use

Load the filament into a 3D printer configured for polycarbonate printing. Use a heated bed and an all-metal hotend able to reach recommended extrusion temperatures for PC. Adjust print temperature, bed temperature and print speed according to your printer and slicer profile to achieve optimal layer adhesion and surface finish. Allow parts to cool gradually and consider annealing if required by the part design to further improve dimensional stability and mechanical properties.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print on a heated bed with appropriate adhesion aids and use an enclosure or temperature-controlled chamber to reduce warping. Ensure good filament drying before use if the filament has been exposed to humid conditions, as polycarbonate is hygroscopic and moisture can affect print quality. Follow your printer manufacturer's guidance for nozzle and bed preparation when working with high-temperature filaments.
