Spectrum PC-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate filament designed for high stiffness, strength, and heat resistance. In this review, I compare the material before and after drying to see how moisture affects print quality and mechanical properties.
To evaluate the effect of moisture, I printed identical test specimens from both wet and dried filament and compared their mechanical and thermal performance. As always, all tests were performed using the same methodology as in my previous filament reviews, making the results directly comparable with other materials in my database.
