Jabil - PC 1500 FR - Natural
Description
Jabil’s PC 1500 FR is a flame-retardant, easy printing polycarbonate manufactured with FR UL V-0 material for durable parts. The material is perfect for parts that require strength, stiffness and impact resistance with flame retardancy. The PC 1500 FR testing performed in a qualified lab demonstrates V-0 burn properties on a printed part down to 1mm thickness when printed with the correct design and print parameters as outlined below.
Polycarbonate is an engineering material that can be challenging to print. A slurry of ABS in acetone or a PVP-based glue stick will provide strong bed adhesion during printing with clean release upon cooling. Made from UL V-0 Yellow Card certified raw materials, Jabil’s PC 1500 FR can be printed on Direct Drive and Bowden Tube 3D printers. This material, with its flame-retardant properties, is used in the aerospace and automotive industries.

Specifications
Printing Temperature:
The optimal printing range is 285° – 305°C
Bed Temperature:
Up to 105°C with ABS slurry, or up to 140°C using a PVP-based glue stick.
Printing Speed:
Base printing speed of 40 mm/s
Infill speed of 40 mm/s
Wall speed of 32 mm/s
Initial layer speed of 20 mm/s
Diameter(s):
1.75mm and 2.85mm
Color(s):
Cooling:
For best results, do not use a cooling fan. Enabling bridging settings will help improve overhang quality.
Bed Adhesion:
Suitable adhesion can be obtained by using a slurry of ABS in acetone, or with a PEI sheet with a PVP-based glue stick. A brim should be used to help with bed adhesion.
Other Tips:
If possible, print in an enclosed area that can maintain a temperature of 50-55°C to help minimize warping or cracking.
