Will there ever be Z-Alu, Z-PCABS

Zortrax M200 General Discussion

The title is self explanatory

#2

All I gotta say is "                 "

#3

Isn't Z-Ultrat the same thing as Z-PCABS?

#4

Not sure what material they add into Zultrat to make it stronger but PC-polycarbonate is not the material.

PC-ABS needs a higher temp than Zultrat to extrude properly, plus it is much stronger too.

I have 2kg of pc-abs and I love it.

Though I do like the shiny look of Zultrat better. 

#5

Which PC-ABS, Steven?
