So I have a spool of Polymaker PC thats been in the storage bin for a while. I picked up a Sunlu E2 dryer… just takes the guessing game out of the equation.
Anyway… is PC a good filament for cans ? magazines ?
What about PPS(non CF varient)
I think there should be a community created sticky/FAQ that contains a table of filaments and their proper application.
Table with fields like the below.
Filament type Drying temp/time Annealing time Applications - frames, magazines, grips, etc Comments

PC is not a good filament for anything that sees many stress cycles. It experiences something similar to metal fatigue where it gradually weakens with each cycle until it becomes too weak for the load and fails catastrophically.
Many polymers experience this to a small degree, but with PC it’s significantly more pronounced.
