Review on 🧡 ECHEN 1 Inch PLA Filament by Michael Godo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What if all you ever wanted was GLOW IN THE DARK?!

Gorgeous bright blue colour! In the dark it glows with a very pure blue light, there is no green in it at all. When the light is on, this material appears off-white and somewhat translucent. Every light source I've tried so far has successfully charged the glow effect, including LEDs, fluorescent, CFL, incandescent, and especially sunlight and UV light. Brighter light or more UV light charges the material better for a brighter shine. An LED or black light fluorescent lamp is a great way to quickly and fully charge it; and sunlight really works best! This bright blue PLA prints easily at my typical PLA settings with no adjustments. Thin walls, bridges and ledges were no problem. N:218 -> 206CB: 60 -> 55CFan: HIGHSpeed: Normal

Pros
  • GLOW IN THE DARK: Contains phosphorescent materials that glow in the dark after absorbing light energy. The luminous effect is enhanced when exposed to UV radiation. Please note that too long an exposure time can damage the phosphorescent materials contained in the filament.
Cons
  • Expensive
