Glow in The Dark Filament

These glow in the dark filaments are great! They just need a little light and they glow a long time. The only thing is if you want all the rainbow colors on a print, it needs to be fairly large. Otherwise, you willnonky get 2 colors. Quality is good. No issues with printing.

Review is for the: "iSANMATE 3D Printer Filament, PLA Filament Glow in The Dark, 1.75mm Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool" As with most any filament from the factory... it works best when dried for 10+ hours. Many people report how brittle this filament is & yes, wet filament is brittle. So, dry it first. Then it will work well. I have had great prints with the Glow filament. After charging off a Bright light for 20 minutes, it will last for a few hours. Thicker prints works best of course, as there is more product to glow. Good detail can be printed with this. Important to have the settings correct, as the Glow is actually a PLA+ which melts at a higher temp than PLA. Appears to be a bit stronger than PLA, but not like a CF or PETG. I would purchase again. Be sure to dry it first.

I’m really impressed with this filament. Just to be clear, this does not print white. It prints in a bright, visible rainbow color right out of the nozzle, so your parts already look great in normal light. When it’s charged with light, the glow-in-the-dark effect becomes even brighter and really stands out. That’s a big plus for me, since some glow filaments I’ve used look plain white until they glow. I used this filament to 3D print a glow Mario question block lamp with a UV light inside, and it looks incredible. The rainbow colors pop during the day, and at night the glow effect makes it look like it came straight out of a video game. Easily one of the coolest prints I’ve made. Printing performance has been excellent. Smooth feeding, no clogs, consistent diameter, strong layer adhesion, and a clean surface finish. I didn’t need to change much from my usual PLA settings. It arrived vacuum sealed with desiccant and printed dry right out of the package. If you want a glow filament that actually looks colorful during the day and glows bright when charged, this filament delivers. I’ll definitely be buying more from this brand.

I was excited to find some nice strong glow in the dark PETG! I had some little water resistant keychain containers I wanted to print and I thought a glow in the dark lid would "brighten" them up. The colors print beautifully on my Bambu P1S (I might have had to raise the temp 5C ) and printed smoothly. I noticed no brittleness, stringing, and used a 04mm hardened steel nozzle - so no clogging. Note, I keep my plates well scrubbed with Dawn and wipe with IPA before each use. I also store my filaments in cereal boxes with plenty of fresh desiccant and keep them below 20% moisture. The reason I took off a a star was the purple did not glow. I got the 4 color sample pack and maybe I got a bad batch but I did read one other person had trouble with the strength of the purple glow. Mine did not glow at all. Now it is STILL a beautiful color and I am thinking of ordering another roll (I am a purple addict). Forgot to take a picture of them. Next time I print all 4, I will add a photo to the review.

Let me count the ways in which I feel ripped off. 1) As displayed in my uploaded image, the consistency of this filament is abhorrent. I am using a brand new JS1 Snapmaker and the filament has been grinding the drive gears of the extruder like a rookie truck driver. Never in all of the years I have been doing 3D prints, have I come across a filament that actually gets stuck in the Bowden tube to the point you have to yank it out backwards in an unloading scenario. The print that I am working on, was to be an 18 hour print, but it is now 26 hours because every time I walk away and do something constructive else where, it decides to get stuck and make the JS1 stop and wait for me to return to essentially, yank the filament out, and load it back in. 2) One would assume these would be a full size roll but alas, that is not the case. These are 4 mini rolls of frustration and wasted money with an odd coating that is grainy and full of friction. Luckily I had my SUNU drier and have been literally cooking the roll as I print but even so, it has jammed twice. Wonderfull, because we all know how awesome it is to have a large print stall out or quit on you when it is assumed the product you bought would be just a tad bit better on the quality side. Might as well try to 3d print log chain and see how that pans out. 3) "Glow" doesn't seem to be glowing in the colors that are pictured. In fact, all 4 of them, have the same sick green glow to them so..not sure where the variety pack is in all of this, but it is safe to say they didn't know either, grabbed whatever was laying on the floor and threw it into a box for me to suffer their lack of QC. Either way, I will not buy another product from this company as it is painfully obvious to see, their deceptive practices know no bounds. If it did not take forever to get filament from Snapmaker, I would order nothing but Snapmaker filament because it is far superior than most of what is here on Amazon, other than Hatchbox, which is now my new go to Filament company at this point. (Overture also has issues with overlaps, snags and just horrid PETG)

This stuff is pretty cool! Quality print is good, no tangling and no clogging.

The filament loaded and printed very smoothly. Stuck to the build plate very well. No clogs or failures. Luminosity requires UV light. Sunlight will work but it's harder to see because it's daytime. I also print with resin so have a number of UV lights around. 10 minutes in front of one and see picture attached.

Filamento fantastico, è resistente ed è davvero fluorescente!!! Escono dei lavori bellissimi

Just the job

Beautiful filament but brittle. Have had several prints fail because the filament would just randomly snap off. This even happened a few times when the printer was off. The prints feel strong under pressure, but when dropped the break easily. Very sad, because it really is a good looking filament, but useless if it cannot be printed.

Very good. Bit tricky with getting settings right though but very nice once that is done.
