3DXTech ezPC Easy-Print, Low-Warp Polycarbonate — No Heated Chamber Required
Easy-Print, Low-Warp Polycarbonate — No Heated Chamber Required
ezPC™ is 3DXTech's easy-print polycarbonate — engineered to give you polycarbonate's strength, heat resistance, and outstanding impact toughness while printing on a wide range of open-frame desktop FDM machines, without a heated chamber and without the warping that makes conventional PC impractical. Compounded in 3DXTech's Grand Rapids, Michigan facility, it prints at 255–275°C on a 90–110°C bed and is an excellent choice for functional parts that would ordinarily fail in PLA, PETG, or ABS.

Real polycarbonate performance, without the polycarbonate headaches.
3DXTech compounds ezPC in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a published technical data sheet — no mystery filament. It delivers polycarbonate strength and heat resistance while printing on open-frame desktop machines without a heated chamber. Rev1 Technologies is your authorized 3DXTech reseller and US support partner, Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Polycarbonate parts — on the printer you already own.
Conventional polycarbonate is one of the toughest, most heat-resistant filaments you can run — but it demands a 300°C+ hotend, a hot chamber, and careful warp control. ezPC was formulated to remove those barriers. It keeps polycarbonate's strength, heat resistance, and impact toughness, yet prints on a wide array of open-frame desktop machines at 255–275°C without a heated chamber. It is the material you reach for when PLA, PETG, or ABS parts fail on heat, impact, or load — and when you don't want to buy a specialized high-temperature printer to fix it.
Polycarbonate strength, formulated for real-world printers.
Low warp, no heated chamber, and no hazardous fumes — PC you can actually run.
ezPC is a purpose-built easy-print polycarbonate: it delivers the mechanical and thermal performance engineers want from PC while printing reliably on open-frame desktop FDM machines. Low warp behavior and forgiving adhesion mean you get flat, dimensionally stable parts without a chamber or extreme bed prep. It ships in Black, Dark Grey, True Red, and White on 1.75 mm, 750 g reels and runs with a standard brass nozzle — no hardened nozzle, no exotic hardware.
Published polycarbonate properties — strong, tough, and heat-stable.
These are 3DXTech's published TDS values for ezPC — the numbers that separate a true engineering polymer from an everyday filament, with the impact ductility that makes it forgiving to print and to use.
Parts stay stiff and stable far above where PLA, PETG, or ABS start to soften — real high-heat capability without a specialty printer.
Deflection temperature at 0.45 MPa that keeps functional parts holding shape in hot environments.
Strength at break — durable parts that survive real mechanical load and repeated use.
High ductility for a polycarbonate — ezPC absorbs impact and flexes instead of shattering.
Strong in bending, backed by a 2150 MPa flexural modulus — resists deflection under stress.
High stiffness under load, so printed parts stay rigid and dimensionally accurate.
The whole point: it prints like a normal filament.
3DXTech's recommended starting conditions. Unlike straight PC, ezPC does not need a 300°C+ hotend or a heated chamber — a capable desktop machine with a hot bed will run it. Dry the reel before printing — polycarbonate is hygroscopic.
Prints at ordinary engineering-filament temperatures — no 300°C+ high-temperature hotend required.
A standard heated bed with a suitable adhesive gives reliable first-layer grip and flat parts.
Low-warp formulation prints on open-frame desktop machines — an enclosure helps on large parts but isn't required.
Unfilled ezPC is non-abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle is all you need — no hardened nozzle.
Polycarbonate is hygroscopic; dry the reel at 80°C for 4+ hours for the cleanest surface and strongest parts.
Runs your normal quality profiles from 0.10 mm up — minimal part cooling gives the best layer bonding.
Functional prototypes and end-use parts that take heat and impact.
Parts that flex and survive instead of cracking.
14% elongation at break gives ezPC the toughness to absorb real-world abuse.
Because ezPC keeps polycarbonate's high impact strength and pairs it with strong ductility, it is ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts that see repeated load, vibration, and impact — brackets, linkages, housings, and snap-fit assemblies that would crack in PLA or fatigue in PETG. It prints clean, detailed surfaces with a standard nozzle, so the parts look and perform like finished engineering components.
Jigs, fixtures, and near-motor parts that stay stable when warm.
A 118°C glass transition holds shape where ABS softens and PETG creeps.
With a 118°C Tg and 112°C heat deflection, ezPC is the natural pick for jigs, fixtures, and tooling in warm shop environments, and for under-hood or near-motor automotive parts that see elevated temperatures. It gives you polycarbonate's thermal headroom on hardware you already own, so functional parts hold their geometry and their strength through real service conditions.

FAQ
3DXTech ezPC — Common Questions
What makes ezPC different from regular polycarbonate?
ezPC is formulated to be easy to print. Conventional PC needs a 300°C+ hotend, a heated chamber, and careful warp control; ezPC prints at 255–275°C on a 90–110°C bed on open-frame desktop machines without a chamber. You give up a little peak heat resistance (118°C Tg vs. roughly 147°C for straight PC) in exchange for dramatically easier, low-warp printing and even higher impact ductility.
Do I need a special printer to run ezPC?
No. That's the whole point. Any capable FDM machine with a hotend that reaches about 275°C and a heated bed at 90–110°C can run ezPC — no high-temperature all-metal hotend, no heated chamber, and a standard brass nozzle. An enclosure can help on very large parts but is not required for most work. If you're unsure your machine qualifies, ask us before you order.
How is ezPC different from CarbonX ezPC+CF?
ezPC is unfilled easy-print polycarbonate — tough, ductile, smooth-surfaced, and printable with a standard brass nozzle. CarbonX™ ezPC+CF adds chopped carbon fiber for much higher stiffness and dimensional stability, but it is abrasive and requires a hardened nozzle. Choose unfilled ezPC for maximum impact toughness and easy printing; choose the carbon-filled grade when you need maximum rigidity.
Does ezPC need to be dried?
Yes. Polycarbonate is hygroscopic — it absorbs moisture from the air, which causes bubbling, stringing, and weaker parts. Dry the reel at 80°C for 4 or more hours before printing, and keep it in a dry box during long prints for the best surface quality and strength.
Do I need a hardened nozzle?
No. Unfilled ezPC is non-abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle prints it without accelerated wear. Only carbon- or glass-filled grades need a hardened nozzle.
What kinds of parts is ezPC best for?
Functional prototypes and end-use parts that would fail in PLA, PETG, or ABS — impact-loaded housings, brackets and linkages, snap-fit assemblies, heat-stable jigs and fixtures, and automotive or near-motor components. It's the step up you reach for when everyday filaments run out of thermal or impact headroom but you don't want to buy a specialty printer.
What colors and sizes are available?
ezPC ships in Black, Dark Grey, True Red, and White on 1.75 mm, 750 g reels for $48. Need 2.85 mm diameter, 2 kg reels, or bulk quantities? Just ask — call (248) 707-2950 and we'll quote it.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes — 3DXTech manufactures and compounds ezPC in its facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a published technical data sheet and lot traceability under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
Will ezPC warp on large parts?
ezPC is formulated for low warp, which is exactly what makes it printable on open-frame desktop machines without a heated chamber. For most functional parts you'll get flat, dimensionally stable results with a clean heated bed and good first-layer adhesion. On very large, flat parts an enclosure still helps by keeping the ambient temperature even — it isn't required, but it reduces the chance of corner lift on big footprints. Dry the reel first, since moisture is a bigger cause of print defects than warp with ezPC.
