    I've tried to find this elsewhere on the forums. I'm using eSun in particular. I'm printing at 250-255 w/ bed temp of 100, print speed 50, and fans off. I'm having serious issues with warping and striations/bumps along the print surface. I am keeping ambient temperature at 73F as steady as possible and trying to avoid drafts.

    I've not used Esun PC but with Polymaker PC I print around 260, 100C, 30-40 mm/s no faster. If your splitting and warping you need better adhesion on the bed and to ensure no air is blowing on the print causing you grief. Some PC blends are more...headache...than others.
