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.
Accessory Compatibility
| Recommended | Not Recommended | |
| Build Plate | Cool Plate, High Temperature Plate or Textured PEI Plate | Engineering Plate |
| Hotend | 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 mm Hardened Steel Nozzle* | 0.2 mm Nozzle |

Printing Tips
• Drying PLA Glow is optional. Recommended drying condition is 55 ℃ for 8 hours in a blast drying oven, and 75 ℃ for 12 hours on printer's heatbed. Learn more about filament drying. Please refer to Filament drying cover 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.
