Hi Johnny,
Thanks a lot for the tips. I will try this out next time we need to print something using PC.
Have a great day!

The biggest changes were to reduce the temp from 280 to 270 on the hot end, reduce the flow from 100% to 92%, reduce the flow for the brim from 100% to 85% (might even reduce that one by another 5%), reduce speed to 35 mm/s (for .1 mm resolution), and disable Z-hop.
For bed adhesion we clean the glass bed with rubbing alcohol and put down a thin even layer of glue stick while the bed is cold. And let the bed cool completely before removing the part - the part will just slide right off if you let it cool!
If you don't need super strong parts you can reduce the number of wall, top, and bottom layers - we bumped them up for super strong parts.

Hi, do you print in black PC or in transparent PC`?
We are printing in black PC for added UV resistance.
Johnny
Thanks :) I was asking because transparent and black/white are quite different, at least according to the technical data sheets.
You guys still using PC??
I am thinking of using it fro strong functional mechanical prototyping,
Wonder if there's any new ways people are heading for this applications.
