Bambu PLA Glow
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.
Unique Glow in Low Light Conditions
Bambu PLA Glow incorporates a distinct additive: luminous powder, which imparts a special property to printed objects, causing them to emit a captivating glow in the dark.
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: Filament drying instructions on 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.
