Welcome to Hatchbox 3D Printer Filament Our engineered filament is here to help you stream your creative outlet, enabling you to see your thoughts and concepts engineered into a real and rewarding reality. The filaments are universally designed and compatible with 3D Printers using 1.75mm diameter filament, with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.05mm. Frequently Asked Questions 1) Filament not extruding properly? A: Check the type of filament you're working with and set the proper extruder temperature based on the filament type and heated build platform if applicable; trial and error. Rule of thumb is to set the extruder temperature to the highest temperature for the specific filament, then decrease the temperature by 5°C until properly extruded. Please note this will vary with each 3D printer. 2) How do I store my filament? A: Most filaments tend to absorb moisture from the air; because of this your filament can become brittle and slowly degrade the quality. It's recommended to keep unused filament and store it in a storage container or zip lock bag with a desiccant. 3) Won't the print stick to the build platform? A: First, review FAQ #1. Second, for PLA it's recommended to use blue painters tape and ABS it's recommended to use kapton tape. If printing with ABS and the print will still not stick to the build platform you can use "*ABS Sludge" a little goes a long way. You can use this on the build platform on top of kapton tape. *When creating the ABS sludge (mixture of acetone and ABS scraps), create the mixture in well ventilated area preferably outside. Using this sludge will make the print stick to the build platform really well and may be difficult to remove the print, use at your own discretion and a plastic scraper will come in handy.

glow in the dark abs max printing temperature 250c
summary:print speed 80mm/smax print temp 250cbed temp 105-115 with purple glue stickBE WARNED ITS FRAGILE, AND SNAPS WITH THE LIGHTEST TOUCH=air bubbles in filamentAt first i was fighting it because it would clog halfway or less on a print. Since i was only using it off and on it wasn't a big deal because i had other filament and i wasn't able to maintain a high enough heated bed temp. Then when i finally got the bed to get up to temp. I was still getting jams because i was printing at 255-260c at 80mm/s, so it would stop halfway still. After awhile i thought ill try it again after looking up glow in the dark abs i found someone suggested lowering temp for certain filament colors so i did and found out its MAX TEMP is 250c. I have my heat bed at 115c while printing on raft.

I gave this 4 stars because I really like Hatchbox filament (especially the blue)
I gave this 4 stars because I really like Hatchbox filament (especially the blue). I have never had a problem with any other colors (or 30+ other spools from various manufacturers) but I can't get this to print well. The first 4 times I tried to print with it, it either broke before it got to the extruder, or it broke between the extruder and the nozzle. I finally got it to finish a small print by basically helping it along, but there were gaps in printing like it wasn't extruding properly. It doesn't appear to be any different physically than any other filament, doesn't seem more brittle than some others I have used without issue. I am not sure if I need to really bump up the heat or what. I swaped out this spool with another spool of some cheap junk and printed fine, so it isn't the printer. If anyone can share the settings you are using on this (compared to say hatchbox blue since settings between printers can vary) I would appreciate it. I am going to keep fooling with it when I have time.

Its a little brittle, but it prints well. To get a good glow you need to use 4 shells or more.

charge your print under a light source and it glows no matter how dense your print is.

Prints Great! Very consistent.
Works great in my Divinci XYZ running Repetier firmware.
