Push Plastic PC-PBT Engineering Filament – 1.75mm, 1kg
Pickup available at Headquarters
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Build tough, durable parts for demanding applications with Push Plastic PC-PBT Engineering Filament. This high-performance blend combines polycarbonate with polybutylene terephthalate to deliver a strong balance of stiffness, toughness, ductility, impact resistance, and chemical resistance.
PC-PBT is designed for functional parts that need to hold up to repeated use, mechanical stress, drops, oils, grease, and demanding shop environments. It is a strong choice for brackets, mounts, fixtures, machine accessories, tool holders, automotive components, CNC-related parts, and other engineering applications where PLA or PETG may not be sufficient.
Why You’ll Like It
- Balanced engineering performance: Combines stiffness with useful ductility for durable functional parts.
- Strong impact resistance: Well suited to parts exposed to drops, knocks, and repeated handling.
- Excellent fatigue performance: A practical option for components that experience repeated stress or movement.
- Chemical resistance: Resists exposure to motor oil, grease, and other common shop contaminants.
- Functional-part focused: Ideal for brackets, mounts, fixtures, tool holders, machine accessories, and automotive components.
- Three practical colors: Available in Black, White, and Orange.
Available Colors
- Black
- White
- Orange

Drying and Printing Tips
- Dry the filament before printing to improve surface finish, layer bonding, and consistency.
- Use a printer capable of the required nozzle and bed temperatures.
- Print in an enclosed environment to help control warping and improve dimensional stability.
- Prepare the build surface carefully and verify first-layer adhesion before starting a long print.
- Use moderate print speeds when strength and repeatability matter more than cycle time.
- Allow the completed part to cool gradually before removing it from the bed.
