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?

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

The Polymaker neon filaments fluoresce under black light. Someone was posting pictures on the Voron discord of their printer with the parts all printed in polymaker’s neon abs and under a black light it looks like a 90s arcade. It’s beautiful.

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 😸✨
