Inland glow-in-the-dark PLA hits a sweet spot for some makers as a great budget option. But don’t let the small price tag fool you, this filament offers great printability with little fuss. The Voronoi bear, pictured above, shows how crisp and clean this filament can be printed, even on complex models that require more retractions. The glow is also very bright, although some users reported that the blue option takes longer to charge than the green.

While this is a great pick for makers, color options are currently limited to green, blue, or rainbow.

• Nozzle temperature: 205-225 °C
• Bed temperature: 60-80 °C
• Diameter: 1.75 mm

Sunlu has a reputation of providing nice and easy to print filaments. In particular, their vibrant glow-in-the-dark PLA prints in a beautiful color with a stunning glow.

The length of charge time appears to be a standout feature with this filament. Some users reported that a faint glow outline could still be seen on prints after 2 hours. However, a very noticeable change in luminescence did occur within 30 minutes.

Claimed print speeds as high as 100 mm/s is another standout feature, as most filaments on this list only advertise speeds up to 60 mm/s. As an added bonus, several makers reported receiving well-packaged spools with desiccant and extra goodies along with their filament: Everything from coupons to temperature print outs and filament clips. Who doesn’t like free stuff?

Mika3D offers a few different glow-in-the-dark PLA options at a mid-price point. While possibly a new name to some, many makers are enjoying the company’s well-performing filaments. For those of you who frequent TikTok, filamentstories has a video showing off an impressive torture copter that’s printed in Mika3D filament.

Of special note, the rainbow color option has a short color change distance of only 5-10 m, which is quicker changing than some others on this list. Users report good adhesion and print qualities, but some were less happy with the glow times and lack of luminosity under certain light sources.

To avoid a similar experience, always remember to check for recommended charging light sources when choosing the glow-in-the-dark filament for your project. The manufacturer suggests using direct sunlight or short-wave visible UV light (<450 nm) for the best effect with the filament.

• Nozzle temperature: 200-220 °C
• Bed temperature: 50-60 °C
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Colors: Green, blue, purple, rainbow
• Price/kg: ~$30
