PLA Glow stands out due to its incorporation of a unique additive: luminous powder. This variant retains the familiar qualities of traditional PLA, including easy printing, high quality, and exceptional overall mechanical properties. What sets PLA Glow apart is its distinctive feature - it glows in the dark. This makes it the optimal selection for crafting luminous nameplates, logos, jewelry, and various models that require a captivating glow effect.
Printing Tips
- Drying conditions: 55℃ for 8 hrs. Store in a dry environment after use. Dry before use if the material absorbs moisture. For more details, please refer to the Filament Drying Instructions on Bambu Lab Wiki.
- Printing with a 0.2 mm nozzle is not recommended; instead, it is advised to use a 0.4 mm nozzle for optimal results.
- The model's luminous intensity diminishes over time, but exposure to ultraviolet or sunlight for a brief period (approximately 2 hours) can rejuvenate its glow. However, prolonged or frequent irradiation may expedite PLA aging.
- Not suitable for AMS lite: Utilizing AMS lite may result in high feed resistance and an increased risk of feed failure. Consider alternative methods such as pre-use drying for better outcomes.
- All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, accessible through Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System). Load and print! No more tedious setup steps.
