Polymaker PolyLite Luminous PLA (1kg) - SPECIAL ORDER

PolyLite™ Luminous PLA is a special effect PLA material engineered to print fun and
colourful glow-in-the-dark 3D prints that look great in day and night conditions. As opposed to standard glow-in-the-dark PLA filaments that only feature a colour when they glow, the Luminous PLA combines a colourful PLA in daylight conditions with powders that glow in the dark after absorbing light energy. PolyLite™ Luminous PLA is ideal for printing eye-catching models whether day or night.

Glow in the dark filaments are highly abrasive, we highly recommend to use a wear resistant nozzle when printing.

Features:

Day & Night - PolyLite™ Luminous PLA is a colourful range that also contains powders that glow in the dark after absorbing light energy. This luminous filament is an excellent choice for eye-catching models that offer colour in both daylight and night time conditions. To achieve the glow in the dark effect, simply print your model and expose it in sunlight or UV light for around 30 minutes to get the best glow in the dark effect; ideal for printing glow sticks, figurines, party decoration piece, Halloween decorations, Christmas ornaments or gifts for kids.

Jam-Free™ technology - Polymaker have implemented their Jam-Free™ technology into
PolyLite™ Luminous PLA to improve the heat stability of the filament with softening
temperatures over 100 °C which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [1].

Compatibility In Mind - PolyLite™ Luminous PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D
printers and works well with common printing surfaces with no heated bed required. A
heated bed 40 - 60°C can provide better results (maximum 60°C).

Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ Luminous PLA filament is made with the highest
quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading
biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials
produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins
produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.

[1] Heat creep is the the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout the hot end, one common example is with all metal hot end designs. Once heat creeps towards the cold end, the PLA filament softens prematurely in the cold end and expands resulting in a jam. Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 100°C which prevents the filament from prematurely softening in the cold end and can still melt rapidly once entering the heating zone. The printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60°C.
