That's not the issue, gettign it to stick to anything is a real pita. When i did finally get a pc print to stick it wasn't just stuk it was welded.
Polymaker give you sheets of builbtak especially for the pc.
It sticks, but destroyed the printbite in the removal process.
When i asked polymaker about this, they said that it did that for them too.

Get your enclosure as hot as you possibly can, max the print bed and try and print at 265-270. I think i did my experiments at 265, it'll just about work at that temp.
On the whole though You need a proper hi-temp hotend setup, and no clue what to use as a print base.

The pc+pbt blend looks interesting. Much lower print temp - but the rest still looks relevant.

have to see if I can get a sample.
Thanks for the reply, I will try to post my outcome.
