Looking for black polycarbonate to try

Bambu Filament and Accesories

Hello all
I just set up my carbon x1 with AMS and ran a test print of a part in the bambu lab’s polycarbonate. Its the clear black color. While it printed perfectly im mot a fan of the clear black. Im looking for a 1KG spool of non reinforced black PC. So farbit looks like Raise 3D sell one. Others from 3D Xtech are 750g and seem a bit higher priced. But im open to trying it if their stuff is noticeably better.

So what is everyones favorite PC that comes in black? Both non reinforced snd reinforced with CF or GF? Bonus if it has a soool that will drop in the AMS without needing a plastic printed ring around it.

Coincidentally enough, I am dealing with a black PC GF 30 for a prototype at my company. Here is what I ordered. We haven’t run it yet so can’t tell you anything about it…

BTW, you definitely don’t want to be running this through the AMS!

I have tried Gizmo Dorks PC and Prusa PC blend. Gizmo Dorks PC prints fine on my Qidi x-max at 285c but I can’t get the X1c hot enough to get a good print so I don’t recommend it. The PC blend works great but the spool doesn’t fit the AMS.
