The max bed temperature of 0°C is below the recommended 100°C for PC-ABS. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 250-280°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 300°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 100-115°C |
| Printer Max Bed | N/A |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but PC-ABS needs at least 100°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged FX10 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need PC-ABS specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 250°C+ nozzle and 100°C+ heated bed.
