HATCHBOXPLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Glow in The Dark

I have been using Hatchbox filaments since 2018 (back when they were 19.99 a roll!), ABS, PLA, TPU, Etc. in my 15+ machines. You can NOT go wrong with Hatchbox. The accuracy is spot on and the print settings you use will never need to be adjusted, (due to filament variation). I have purchased hundreds of rolls in all colors, wood, glow in the dark, etc. FYI, PLA is way better and less toxic than ABS. It also looks and feels better! This glow in the dark version actually glows well, and does NOT loose it's ability to glow. I have something on my wall since 2018 and it still glows every night! Overall, best brand, best quality, and best variations you can find on the market. Also, NO I am not sponsored by them, I wish I was, LOL!

I bought this Glow in the dark about a year ago for these wall skulls I have for my outside decorations and I am very pleased. The print quality is impressive. I had not extrusion issues. Just make sure you get your print settings dialed in. I have two outdoor uv lights spotting them from the grass and they glow so good. Just as seen on the photos. I highly recommend for any glow in the dark applications.

This filament really exceeded expectations regarding how brightly it can glow once charged. I teach a high school 3D printing class, and my students really thought is was fun. They enjoyed it so much that I purchased some for my own personal 3D printer and children to use. It was also a hit with them.Like all Hatchbox filaments I've tried, it was consistent regarding required temperature settings and the quality of the final print. HOWEVER, I have found that it seems to pick up moisture a bit faster than some other filaments, so I would highly suggest storage in a plastic bag with silica packs when it's not being used. This really made a big difference.The only downside of the final products using this filament is that they require direct sunlight to fully charge. Once charged, though, they are very bright with that classic glow-in-the-dark green luminescence. They also stay charged for a reasonable amount of time.

Love the filament for it's print quality. Printed a Pacman ghost and octopus test prints for my kids. Worked out great but the filament does not stay noticeably charged / glowing for more than a few minutes. This not going to replace your lighting and as per the recommendations of others, print with extra layers to help with the density to allow the glow to last longer.Overall this is generally a great filament with all the detail and print quality of Hatchbox PLA along with the coolness of glowing.

I am beyond impressed by this filament! When I first saw this on Amazon, I thought the glow would be very subtle, even when exposed to a lot of light beforehand. I was very wrong!Pros:- The green glow really exceeded my expectations. It's actually quite vibrant, even next to some other lighted objects (I'll include a picture of a "Solaire of Astora" print from Dark Souls next to my mouse and keyboard for reference), and it's really cool to look at in the dark. Especially if you hold your print under a light for a few seconds before turning the lights off.- This filament prints very smoothly. Just as great as other Hatchbox PLA I've used. I didn't have to adjust any of my default PLA settings to get pretty high quality prints at 0.2mm layer height.- Hatchbox filament comes in spools that have 4 spots to "clip" your filament on BOTH sides (8 total) when switching between spools. Other brands I've used usually have 2 on both sides; wasting small amounts of filament every time you switch spools if you're not using your own clip.Cons:- Nothing. This works just as great as other PLA filaments I've used!I would highly recommend this filament to anyone looking to get a "cool" kind of filament to print with. It has a great "slightly-transparent" white look to it when it's in the light, and a really cool solid green glow when it's in the dark. I absolutely love this filament, and it'll be perfect for small gifts or lettering.I included pictures of a few small gifts I made for people. The lightswitch cover bottom is printed with black Hatchbox PLA, and the lettering is printed with the Hatchbox glow in the dark PLA. The other pictures are the print I set next to my keyboard/mouse.

This glow-in-the-dark (GITD) filament prints very well. It's PLA so it also requires much less heat and has considerably reduced warping compared to ABS. This glows in a soft light-green color, but the sustain of the light isn't very bright nor very long, much like most other GITD filaments. The print itself is very similar to "natural" color PLA filament, but the quality of print is much better on my printer than the typical translucent filaments. Most of the HatchBox filaments have been very good to excellent over the years that I have been using them. If you print Christmas ornaments and then hang them on your tree close to a white light, it will glow once you turn the lights off. This uses typical PLA print speeds and heat settings. I use Elmer's Xtreme GlueStick for holding it on the print-bed. It's easy to apply and clean-up afterwards. Under normal conditions, this can be considered as a replacement for "natural" PLA, unless you simply don't want the glow to show up.
