More noodling around with Overture glow PLA.

I tried to tweak the exposure a bit this time to make it look more like how you perceive it in reality.

    You have any tricks for glow filament? I tried to print with it again and just like always it immediately clogged my hotend to a stage where I have to print way slower and I hate to think I have to sacrifice one to this stuff every time.

      I’m using a diamond tipped nozzle, 0.4mm. I understand that smaller nozzles like 0.2 don’t play well with filaments filled with solid materials, and the glow stuff suspended in this is indeed a solid material.

      Temperature may be an issue, but I wouldn’t know. I print PLA typically at 230° C, including this filament, which I am certain many people will find jowl-flabberingly appalling but that’s what I do. My machine goes pretty fast and I found that gives me the best results.
