Nobufil PCx Black, 1.75 mm / 1000 g

nobufil PCx is a modified polycarbonate blend made from recycled industrial waste from Europe, making it an exciting alternative to conventional PC filaments. Instead of relying on virgin material, nobufil uses a closed material cycle without compromising on mechanical properties. The result is a high-performance filament for demanding technical applications that is also much easier to print than traditional polycarbonate.

In unnotched impact strength tests, PCx achieves values of around 45 kJ/m² and combines this resilience with good stiffness. Instead of breaking brittlely under impact, the material absorbs the energy and releases it in a controlled manner.

While classic PC filament has a reputation for being difficult to print, with heavy warping, layer adhesion issues and a narrow processing window, PCx has been specifically modified for FDM printing and offers much more forgiving handling. Warping remains low, layer adhesion is reliable, and delamination is virtually no longer an issue. This means PCx can be processed easily on most common desktop 3D printers. An enclosed printer housing is recommended, but not essential.

nobufil PCx delivers a smooth, even surface that is ideal for further processing. Sanding, drilling and bonding can be carried out without difficulty, making the material ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts that need to impress both visually and mechanically.

► Key properties of nobufil PCx:

• high impact strength of around 45 kJ/m², unnotched,
• heat deflection resistance above 110 °C; dimensionally stable even under load,
• excellent layer adhesion & no delamination with complex geometries,
• low shrinkage and minimal warping for dimensionally accurate parts with a precise fit,
• good chemical resistance to oils, greases and diluted acids,
• smooth, even surface,
• ideal for post-processing such as sanding, drilling or bonding,
• pleasant to process thanks to low odour development, no enclosed printer housing required,
• made from recycled industrial waste from Europe.
