    okay trying polymaker's clear polycarbonate.
    Turns out my maximum extruder setting is 262c

    the polycarbonate label states 255-280 and a bed heated to 80c.

    left the bed at 60, can't be arsed to recalibrate. printing a carabiner. They're useful and long enough to test warp and stick and only take 10 minutes or so to print.

    And it's off ! Didn't quite finish the first layer.

    I think the problem is most likely the extruder temp. But I'll up the bed temp and try it again.

    It's annoying as I've got a 200gm roll of this stuff and it would be nice to be able to use it.

    Okay heated bed to 90c and recalibrated again.
    And at 57% it's just popped off.

    I will say that I do have my cooling fan on - and I'm not supposed to.
    I really do need to fit an on/off switch.

    I'll try the PC again after I have. But for the moment - it's a no go.
    Likewise I can't try any nylon till I've fitted the switch.
