I'm very interest on polymax stuff. E3d sells a pair of their products and imakr has started to store all their products. The interesting part of pc-plus it's that the chemical company behind it's a Bayer subsidiary, so they should know a think or two about making stuff. Also the wood-less foam looks nice to avoid the nozzlemess that makes real wood filaments.

But what about the wood smell, Its the best part of printing with wood filament.

Don't know the polymax stuff, but did try PC-ABS Alloy from proto-pasta.

The warping with this stuff is horrible, much worse than any ABS I tried.
Tried first at 270 bed 100, with only the front closed this was terrible, the warping was very strong.
Then tried at 270 with 110 bed and the top closed, with a few holes in the top not to overheat the E3Dv6 (chamber at +/- 58c) printing is fine but the warping was still way to much. I do like the surface finish of this material.
Got the sample from @ErikDeBruijn (thanks) but this stuff is really to hard to print so I won't buy any more of it...

I'm currently trying out the Polymaker PC-Max which is looking like the real thing at last.
- 2 weeks later...
I also tried a reel of the PC-Plus and I have to say I think its a bit on the rubbish side... very brittle and virtually impossible to get a decent large print out of it... despite hours of frigging around with it.
Whereas the PC-Max is excellent when used with WolfBite Mega. Strength is stunning, printing is reasonably easy and just pops off the glass even after annealing.
