Does the FR affect the mechanical properties? 

Yes, the FR additive will make the material less ductile which means a higher tensile strength and Young's modulus (more rigid). However the PC will maintain its great impact and high heat resistance.

What is annealing?

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Does PC absorbs moisture?

The short answer is yes, PolyLite™ PC will absorb moisture slightly faster than regular PLA. We recommend using a dry box to achieve high quality and strong prints.

Why are my parts cracking along layer lines?

You really need to make sure you are using an enclosed printer and that you are keeping ambient air temps as high as possible. You then want to make sure you are annealing the part the moment the print finishes. Keeping ambient air temps high and allowing for very slow cooling is a great way to reduce chances of cracking and to maintain layer strength.
