Glow in the Dark
The standout feature of this filament is its ability to absorb light and produce a visible glow after the light source is removed.
For a stronger glow, expose the printed model to a bright light source before moving it into darkness.
The intensity and duration of the glow can depend on:
- Strength of the charging light
- Length of light exposure
- Wall thickness
- Model geometry
- Amount of glow material in the printed area
- Ambient darkness
The glow gradually becomes weaker over time and can simply be recharged by exposing the model to light again.
Excellent for Creative Projects
Glow-in-the-dark filament opens up applications that ordinary PLA cannot provide.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Stars and planets
- Signs and lettering
- Halloween decorations
- Figurines
- Toys
- Keyrings
- Cosplay accessories
- Nameplates
- Bedroom decorations
- Gaming accessories
- Novelty products
- Educational models
- Products for resale
Designed for Faster Printing
As part of Creality’s Hyper family, the material is intended for modern high-speed 3D printing.
Actual achievable speed will depend on:
- Printer capability
- Hotend flow rate
- Nozzle size
- Layer height
- Model geometry
- Cooling performance
- Slicer settings
For the best balance between speed, surface quality and glow performance, users should start with the appropriate Creality material profile where available.
Easy PLA-Based Printing
Because the material is PLA-based, it retains many of the characteristics that make PLA popular:
- Easy bed adhesion
- Low warping
- Low shrinkage
- Good dimensional accuracy
- Straightforward printing
- No enclosure normally required
This makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced users.
Low Warping
PLA’s relatively low shrinkage makes this material suitable for both small detailed prints and larger decorative models.
It works particularly well for:
- Signs
- Flat decorations
- Wall art
- Large models
- Props
- Multi-hour prints
- Batch production
Important: Glow Filament Can Be Abrasive
Glow-in-the-dark filaments contain special additives that create the luminescent effect. These additives can be more abrasive than ordinary PLA.
For occasional small prints, nozzle wear may not be immediately noticeable, but for regular use we recommend a wear-resistant nozzle, particularly for longer prints or repeated production.
Suitable options include:
- Hardened steel
- Silicon carbide
- Tungsten carbide
- Other wear-resistant nozzle materials
This helps reduce premature nozzle wear.
Glow PLA vs Standard PLA
| Feature | Glow PLA | Standard PLA |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Printing | Easy | Very Easy |
| Glow in Darkness | Yes | No |
| Light-Charging Effect | Yes | No |
| Warping | Very Low | Very Low |
| Dimensional Accuracy | Very Good | Very Good |
| Decorative Printing | Excellent | Excellent |
| Abrasive Additives | Yes | No |
| Wear-Resistant Nozzle | Recommended | Normally Not Required |
The main reason to choose Glow PLA is the special visual effect, while retaining much of the easy printing behaviour associated with conventional PLA.
Getting the Best Glow
For the strongest effect:
- Charge the finished model under bright light
- Allow sufficient exposure time
- Use thicker printed sections where appropriate
- View the model in a dark environment
- Recharge it whenever the glow fades
A UV light source can often provide particularly effective charging for photoluminescent materials.
Keep Your Filament Dry
PLA-based filament can absorb moisture from the surrounding air.
Moist filament may cause:
- Popping or crackling
- Increased stringing
- Small bubbles
- Rough surfaces
- Inconsistent extrusion
- Reduced print quality
Store the spool in a sealed container, dry box or vacuum bag with desiccant when not in use.
