Frequently Asked Questions

How many meters of Polycarbonate (PC) filament are in a 1kg spool?

A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm Polycarbonate (PC) filament (density 1.2 g/cm³) contains approximately 346.46 meters (~1137 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 130.63 meters.

What is the density of Polycarbonate (PC) 3D printer filament?

Polycarbonate (PC) has an average density of 1.2 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.

How do I calculate remaining Polycarbonate (PC) on a used spool?

Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.

What print temperatures are recommended for Polycarbonate (PC)?

Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 260-290 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 110-120 °C.
