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?

    cnckitchen did a pretty good comparison of different gitd filaments. There’s a video on their channel too.

    I don’t remember if the comparison covered this, but I would expect PETg to work better than PLA for gitd stuff because it’s inherently more transparent, right?

      I should have 3 different glow filaments somewhere, one PETG, two PLA. Typically I preferred the PLA versions - they had a bit more uniform glow. The PETG one had brighter spots, but as it was mostly transparent individual spots were more visible than with the PLA prints.

        Ohhh that makes sense! The opaque material acts kind of like a diffuser?

          I didn’t do enough testing with different materials for a conclusive answer - but that was my guess as well.
