Preserved bright in dark green. It doesn't glow.

I bought Amolen Glow in the Dark and MG Chemicals Glow in the Dark Green PLA, I really like the light green color so I thought it was would be great to have bright green PLA that also glows in the dark.

Pros
  • Recommended print temperature range 200 to 220°C (374 to 410°F)
Cons
  • Damaged

Pros
  • Vacuum packed with desiccant in resealable bags
Cons
  • Only available in black

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. I…

  • Translucent
