Polycarbonate Filament?
Has anyone printed with Polycarbonate filament? What are the temperature settings needed? I'm guessing around 270-290c. Is this safe for more hotends?
The stuff I'm looking at is the Bendlay Clear, which I have heard nothing but good things about. I hear that it lays down extremely nice compared to ABS/PLA.
Does anyone have any other advice for printing in this stuff? How can I insure that it doesn't come out cloudy?

I always set my temp at 290 when printing in PC. I too have heard that Bendlay Clear is pretty good stuff. Haven't tried it myself though.
I never really had any problem with cloudiness when printing in PC.

bendlay isnt polycarb. if your looking for clear filament you will be better off with bendlay or pet. polycarb you will need an all metal hotend due to high temp required not to mention that it has a high rate of thermal expansion which means it warps bad.
