What is the specific chemical phosphor used in the plastic? I want to look up which wavelength of uv that it reacts to and what wavelength it will output.
This color came out very well. When it is not glowing the color looks like a good emerald color, when it is glowing the color is very vibrant. I would highly recommend under one condition. Ensure that you have a tougher nozzle than the basic brass. After printing a decent amount my brass nozzle was badly worn, so I have purchased a tougher nozzle which I will be testing soon.
I bought this as my first filament to print on the MS v2 purchased at the same time...boy I should've read the reviews and did some research ahead of time...I just clicked since it looked cool lol. It prints well if you get just the right temp for your printer...it is very picky on the temp for the print head and bed since it wants to lift off if too cool. I've found that almost everything needs a foundation (raft/brim..etc) due to the last comment. With that said, the prints come out pretty darn nice once you get it dialed in correctly. I made some little figurines that glow in the dark, and some other functional print outs, and they all were very nice. I never had issues with filament crossover and I'm halfway through my spool but guess it happens. I've had this for a few months and don't store it properly so I'm guessing I'll pay for that soon lol....we'll see
I've printed more with this filament than I have any of the others in my order, and I am not as happy with it as I thought I would be. The quality of the first few prints was great, until the spool started absorbing moisture. It seems to me, that this filament absorbs quicker than the other two I've been using. Also, the finished prints don't glow quite as well as I was expecting. I've also read that the filament is highly abrasive, and have worried about my stock nozzle. I should have done a little more research before getting this as one of my starter filament, but it has helped to spring board me into some upgrades.
I've gone through just about a whole spool of this stuff since April (it now being October). Prints reliably, glow is impressive, price is good! If you're looking to get into plastics with colour altering additives, this is a really good entry point.
Probably going to order another spool once my first one is done.
Prints with this filament glow very bright when charged and the glow SLOWLY fades off. The residual glow lasts for hours, though dimmer, but still glowing. I am on my second spool of this stuff. Love it!
This is a solid filament and while it is a little picker about sticking to my hot plate than some other PLA it also tends to print semi-translucent so if you don't want to see the support structure though your print make sure to use sufficient shell layers! 2-3 may not be enough.
I'm still not sure what I'm going to use a whole kilo of this for but I'm very excited either way.

I really liked the Glow In The Dark filament by Monoprice. I used this filament for several models of mine, and the results were very impressive. I recommend Glow In The Dark filament by Monoprice. It truly does glow in the dark.
