Looking to make some 1:10 Scale Traffic cones for a up coming RC Crawling Event and wanted to get some feed back on the Glow filaments. Looked at the Octave Green Glow ABS filament, but wanted to know if anyone has tried it. How long it stays or has some glow left in it? Is their any other brands you would recommend, looking for the green color.
The search button was not my friend on this one....
Thanks J
I don't think any glow filament will glow bright enough for an RC driver to see them at a distance unless the arena has black lights. Blacklights make all glow material glow intensely.
I've had great results with Octave blue but agree with Carl on being able to see it. I have items that are over 2 years old and still glow fine.
Thanks guys that's what I was thinking. The coarse is set up outside so there wouldn't be any black lights out there. Maybe I'll do the cones and put some reflective tape on them. Thanks again
any power to plug in party lights?
or if at night get some LED tea lights at dollar store
the Berkley Glow stick fishing rod use LEDs inside glow in the dark hollow rods. and the tea lights have a clear rubber 'flame' that can be removed then print thin cones and glue them on instead. then if need brighter replace the LEDs with UV LEDs for glow ABS to brighten
We won't have any power out there so the idea of the tea light sounds interesting. Thanks never would of come up with that. Time to check out the Dollar Store!
Hatchbox Green Glow PLA works well, but remember, you'll probably want to print at 100% infill to get as much of the glow as possible. I just printed a bunch of commemorative tokens for a bike ride going through our town.
I have a roll of the Octave green glow. It glows rather well I was surprised when I started printing with it. Made a few slot car bodies out of it. Ive done some outside night events with black lights. We used a series of car batteries and a power inverter to run black lights. Worked pretty good.
my roll of Qctave glow green has been my bedroom night light in my filament box for a year now lol
fairly impressed with the Inland brand Glow in the Dark sold by Microcenter - and at $15 a roll, it is a steal. Excellent glow if given enough light to charge on.
Daylight color is kind of an off white, almost gray-ish.
Prints decently, but kind of looks, and feels, like stone.
