1,75mm PLA EasyFil™ - Glow in the Dark - filaments FormFutura

New product

Formfutura EasyFil™ PLA - Glow in the Dark Green is an awesome colour changing filament. This Glow in the Dark filament will have a natural milky white appearance at daylight and will turn into a luminous green colour in the dark. The filament, or printed object, will basically “charge” its Glow in the Dark colour changing effect with UV/daylight, resulting in an impressive luminous green colour when dark. Its Glow in the Dark effect is beyond any comparison.

Formfutura EasyFil™ PLA - Glow in the Dark is part of our EasyFil™ PLA filament range. EasyFil™ PLA is a high-end “easy to use” 3D printer filament. Our EasyFil™ PLA is slightly modified with an impact modifier making the filament tougher, slightly softer, less rigid, much longer preservable and easy to print at relatively low temperatures.

More info

Another great advantage of EasyFil™ PLA – compared to regular PLA – is EasyFil™’s low shrinkage factor, which makes EasyFil™ PLA nearly warp-free and therefore  EasyFil™ PLA will not deform after cooling. Due to its low tendency to warp EasyFil™ PLA can be printed without a heated print bed. If your printer is however equipped with a heated print bed we recommend to set your heat bed temperature to ± 35° to 60°C.

Next to its “easy to use” features, our Formfutura EasyFil™ filament range has an excellent roundness and very tight diameter and ovalidity tolerances, which makes this filament a perfect match with all common desktop 3D printers. Printing with EasyFil™ PLA 3D printer filament will go very smoothly with basically all FFF/FDM technology based desktop 3D printers, such as:

  • RepRap (Mendel, Huxley, Prusa)
  • Solidoodle
  • MakerBot (Replicator, Replicator 2, Replicator 2X)
  • Leapfrog
  • UP! Plus, Up! Mini
  • AND MANY MORE....!

PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid in full) is a thermoplastic which is extruded from the starch of plants, such as corn, cassava, sugarcane, cereals, or sugar beet. By being derived from biological resources this type of thermoplastic can be biodegradable under the right conditions (such as an active compost heap, with enough presence of oxygen) and therefore has a much lesser environmental impact than thermoplastics derived from fossil fuels. 

Our EasyFil™ PLA does not contain any hazourdas, or chemical substances. In fact, all our EasyFil™ PLA filaments are RoHS certified and REACH compliant. 

Abrasiveness
Please be aware that Glow in the Dark filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard phosphorous particles, which have an abrasive nature.  In general these phosphorous particles will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys. 
 

Product details
Our 1.75mm EasyFil™ Glow in the Dark Green PLA 3D printer filament is wrapped on a plastic spool which contains approximately 0.75Kg of filament. Our spool-wrapped EasyFil™ PLA filaments are packed in a silica sealed bag and come in a full colour printed cardboard box, which in turn is also sealed in plastic.

General Tips & Tricks for printing with PLA filaments
The printing temperature guideline for printing with our EasyFil™ PLA filament is approximately 210-220°C. As each desktop 3D printer has its own unique characteristics, you might need to tweak around with your temperature settings a bit to get the best results. To obtain optimal results for your prints you need to take into account variables like your 3D printer’s nozzle diameter, your printing speed settings, and layer height.

PLA has much less tendency to warp compared to ABS. Therefore it can be printed both with and without a heated print bed. However, if your desktop 3D printer does have a heated print bed it is recommended to set your print bed temperature to approximately 35° to 60° C.

A good first layer adhesion is of the utmost importance in obtaining the best results for your prints. There are several tricks to get the first layer of your PLA print to stick better to the print bed of your 3D printer.

  • Blue Masking Tape. PLA prints usually stick really well to blue masking tape. When preparing the print bed it is better to have tiny gaps between your strokes of masking tape, rather than having overlaps. Overlaps of smaller pieces of tape may cause difficulties later on during the print process. We have tested a wide variety of masking tapes and found that the best results can be obtained with Eurocel Blue Masking Tape.
  • Coat your print bed with hairspray. Like ABS, PLA has a tendency to stick really well to extra strong hairsprays.

Blue masking tape is unlikely to leave a residue on your print bed. A hairspray coating however will leave a residue on your print bed.
