The brightest I've used so far. I am very happy with it.

This is the brightest glow in the dark filament I have ever used. I've used 4 different ones in the last year (Hatchbox, eSun, MeltInk and the unlabeled coil) and am usually a little disappointed in terms of brightness and durability. Not with Super Glow, it's brighter and doesn't fade instantly like others I've used. This will be the only glow in the dark thread I currently use. Oh the print quality. It is excellent. Due to the tempered nozzle, I print a little hotter than usual (allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Vacuum packed with desiccant, in resealable bags
Cons
  • Drill Pack

I was skeptical at first because I didn't know the brand. But I ordered it as it was an item that fit my budget and was available on Amazon at the time. Didn't have to do much to get started. 200 degrees Celsius nozzle temperature, 60 degrees bed with some hairspray to stick on my Ender 3 with glass bed worked successfully the first time! These are my usual PLA settings and I didn't have to change anything! The proof is in the pudding. I printed a mask from Thingiverse as a Christmas treeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Glow-in-the-dark green
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Looks great but prints poorly. **UPDATE I WAS WRONG

UPDATED TO 5 STARS! If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So it turned out that I had to lower the printing temperature much lower than I expected. It prints way less than any other PLA I've used. That's one of the tricky things when the print areas are so big. Now I print at 200 degrees with amazing quality without any problems. Not 210, 205, 190 or 195. 200 is the best solution with no problems. OK, now that I know. I wish I had discovered this without using much of the roll on test prints. Spring. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Recommended print temperature is 200 to 220ยฐC (374 to 410ยฐF)
Cons
  • So far so good
