Hey there 👋

I’m looking for filament recommendations (preferably PLA) which glows in the dark, specifically, the ones which glow the brightest/the longest.

I.e. the GITD filament with the most particles (I think)?

Any recommendations?

    FYI I’m now using eSun GITD but the non-rainbow variant; just the regular green one.

    Orange, and especially blue, have basically no glow to them whatsoever, so don’t use those.

    This is the one I’m now using: https://esun3dstore.com/products/esun-luminous-pla-1-75mm-3d-filament-1kg?variant=42987305926871

    It’s pretty good, an performs a lot better than any of the rainbow ones, and better than the green one from ERYONE

    Nothing glow-in-the-dark is anything that could be described as “bright.” What you probably want is something that is florescent under a blacklight. Someone probably makes something specifically for that, but otherwise, a lot of dyes are naturally florescent

      No, I want filaments which glow in the dark, after being charged by (UV-) light.

      You’re correct in that none of them would be very bright; I just want as bright as possible 🔆

      But thanks anyways 😸✨
