PC FR vs Standard PC Comparison

PC FR Applications

• Electrical Enclosures – Fire-safe housing for electronics
• Automotive Components – Interior safety parts
• Industrial Equipment – Safety-critical machinery parts
• LED Housings – Heat and fire-resistant covers
• Power Supplies – Protective casings
• Control Panels – Fire-compliant housings

Printing Tips

1. Use an enclosure – PC-based materials are warp-prone; stable chamber temperature improves success rate.
2. Dry before printing – Moisture can cause bubbles, stringing, and weak layers.
3. Use bed adhesive – Glue/adhesive helps hold the first layer on high-temp plates.
4. Ventilation matters – Print in a well-ventilated area or use filtration.

Bambu Lab PC FR FAQ

Q: What does UL 94 V-0 mean?
A: UL 94 V-0 is the highest flammability rating for plastics. It means the material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after ignition and doesn’t produce flaming drips that could spread fire.

Q: Is PC FR safe for electrical applications?
A: Yes, PC FR is specifically designed for electrical and electronic housings. The UL 94 V-0 certification makes it suitable for applications requiring fire safety compliance.

Q: Why isn’t PC FR compatible with AMS Lite?
A: PC FR requires high printing temperatures and an enclosed chamber to prevent warping. The AMS Lite is designed for the A1 series which doesn’t have the required enclosure.

Q: Do I need a hardened nozzle for PC FR?
A: PC FR isn’t fiber-filled, so a standard nozzle works. For best longevity at high temperatures, many users prefer a hardened nozzle, but it’s not strictly required.
