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.

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