Printing Requirements
  • Hardened Nozzle

And that is it! This will print great on any stock 3D printer that has a hardened nozzle.

You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.

  • Use standard PLA settings, a 0.4 mm or larger nozzle, and full cooling for the best surface quality.
  • Do not use a nozzle smaller than 0.4 mm for particle-filled or sparkle-effect material.
  • Use a hardened nozzle and avoid AMS systems with plastic gears or PTFE paths because glow additives are highly abrasive.
  • Use glue when needed on PC or textured PEI and allow the plate to cool before removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. From choosing the right material to caring for your spools, here's everything you need to know in one spot.

Is there a difference between Panchroma™ Luminous PLA and PolyLite™ Luminous PLA?

No! This is the same great material - just under a new product family name.

What is the difference between Panchroma™ Glow PLA and Panchroma™ Luminous PLA?

These materials both have the same glow effect, the difference is what color they are before being placed in darkness.

Panchroma™ Glow PLA will be a natural color when not in darkness while Panchroma™ Luminous PLA will be the same color while in light as in the dark.

Is this material abrasive?

Yes - you will need to use a hardened nozzle to print with glow in the dark material. You will also need to be careful with using any AMS style setup as well.

Do I need a larger nozzle?

No! This material will print fine with a 0.4mm nozzle.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Is this material AMS compatible?

While the spool will spin great in the AMS, the material is abrasive and may lead to the gears and PTFE tube wearing out too quickly. Therefore we do not suggest using it with the AMS.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

What is Panchroma™?

Panchroma™ is a new family of engineered polymer compounds containing PLA. The formulations are fine tuned for each color/surface finish to offer the best aesthetic quality and printability. They can be reliably printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer under typical PLA settings.

All Panchroma™ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except those listed under "experimental". Why does the Panchroma™ Luminous Orange print glow green or cyan instead of orange?

The glow colour of Panchroma™ Luminous Orange can vary depending on the thickness and geometry of the printed part.

Orange glow requires sufficient material thickness. In thin sections—such as thin walls, fine lettering, sharp edges, or narrow features—the underlying blue-green emission can become more visible, causing the print to appear green, cyan, or teal.

This is an inherent, geometry-dependent optical characteristic of the luminous pigment, rather than an indication of a production batch issue. The perceived glow colour may also shift towards blue-green as the afterglow fades.

For the strongest orange glow, we recommend designing parts with thicker solid sections where possible.

Customers praised this luminous PLA for exceptional print quality and vibrant glow effects. "Prints super well and glows bright," one shopper noted. The filament offers reliable performance with good adhesion and layer bonding. Some concerns: packaging damage and pink color accuracy. Customers recommend drying before bulk printing to prevent clogs.

Looks great!I was using a bronze nozzle and kept having to wipe it off. It definitelyneeds a hardened steel nozzle. It would be nice if there was a "hardened steel nozzle recommended" label on the spool. Once I figured that out, it worked great on my Elegoo CC2.

Favorite gorgeous bright filament prints beautifully

This is officially my favorite filament of all time. Ive been looking for a bright rainbow filament but most the times they come in so dull or dark. This is neon, gorgeous and bright. The glow in the dark feature is an added bonus. Im obessed. It printed beautifully on my Bambu lab p1p. Easy to use. No stringiness or warping. Bed adhesion was great. Layer bonding was superb. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future. I can tell im gonna go through this one fast especially when my daughters see it. Would high recommend.

Amazing Glow Incredible Quality Filament

This is my first time using this filament and I can say it is absolutely amazing and the glow in the dark colors are incredible. If you use a black light to make it glow you will get the full glow effect on this filament. The quality of the filament is really great.

Best Glow Rainbow Filament Ever

This is by far the best glow in the dark filament I have ever bought. It looks so good glowing in rainbow. Also I don't like most rainbow filament as it takes too many layers to transition, but this one is a lot quicker and can get color changes on smaller prints.

Nice quality works well prints great

Tried a few items. All the items I tried had joints, and they mostly work. So far, they haven't broke or stopped glowing. Some stringing happened during these prints, but that is easily brushed off and melted away by a propane torch. Overall it is nice quality and works well with my Creality Ender 3.

Good PLA, prints excellent

Doesn't glow for very long at all but it's a good PLA overall. No issues with prints on my kywood3d tycoon. No stringing, warping, bubbling. Prints are very clean.I bought some matte grey polymaker polyterra PLA and it's really bad stuff. However this polymaker glow in the dark PLA is excellent.
