Description Brahma Lab PLA Glow in the Dark Filament Bring your 3D prints to life with Brahma Lab PLA Glow in the Dark Filament, a premium material designed for creativity that shines—literally. Engineered with high-quality PLA, this filament absorbs light and releases a captivating glow in dark environments, making your models stand out with a unique luminous effect. Perfect for toys, ornaments, handcrafts, and decorative projects, it offers smooth printing performance with reliable layer adhesion, minimal warping, and consistent extrusion. With excellent mechanical strength, a balanced 21% elongation at break, and glowing properties, this filament is not only visually striking but also durable. Designed for easy printability at 195–225°C and bed temperature of 50–60°C, Brahma Lab Glow PLA is compatible with most FDM 3D printers. Whether you’re crafting eye-catching prototypes or custom glowing art pieces, this filament delivers both performance and aesthetics. Glow-in-the-Dark Effect – The filament absorbs light when exposed to a light source and emits a glowing effect in dark environments. The brightness is continuous for a few minutes and then gradually fades, creating a unique and eye-catching luminous appearance for your prints. Reliable Mechanical Strength – With a tensile strength of 49 MPa, flexural strength of 79 MPa, and an elongation at break of 21%, this filament ensures durability and toughness. It provides a strong balance between rigidity and flexibility, making it suitable for decorative as well as functional models. Thermal Stability – Designed with a heat deflection temperature of 53°C and a decomposition temperature of ≥300°C, the filament maintains its stability during printing. This ensures consistent extrusion performance without compromising quality, even in longer print sessions. Excellent Printability – Offers a wide nozzle temperature range of 195–225°C with smooth flow, reliable layer adhesion, and low warping. Combined with a print bed temperature of 50–60°C, it delivers easy setup and stable prints without requiring complex adjustments. Perfect for Creative Projects – Specially suited for ornaments, toys, handcrafts, and decorative applications, the glowing property adds a unique dimension to creative projects that stand out both in daylight and in the dark. Safe & Easy to Use – Being PLA-based, it is safe for indoor use with low odor and non-toxic characteristics. This makes it user-friendly for hobbyists, makers, and professionals alike, ensuring a comfortable printing environment. Electrical Properties – With a volume resistivity of 1.05 × 10¹² ohm-cm and a dielectric constant of 3.4 at 1kHz, the filament provides additional functional benefits in prints where electrical insulation properties are desirable. Standard 1.75mm Diameter – Manufactured with a precise 1.75mm filament diameter, ensuring consistent feeding and smooth printing performance across different projects. Wide Printer Compatibility – Fully compatible with most FDM 3D printers, allowing users to print easily without the need for specialized equipment. Property Test Method Test Condition S.I.
