Topic: Glow in the dark filament question
I was told by that glow in the dark ABS filament is abrasive and will eat out an extruder Nozzle.
is it more abrasive than any other ABS or PLA.

Well all I( can say is it has strontium aluminate particles in it (or zinc sulfide, if it's a cheaper one with less glow). There are different types of strontium aluminate powders with different particle sizes. The bigger, the brighter, but less easy to mix in paints, for example. I'm guessing in filaments smaller particles are used like in glowing paints.

Re: Glow in the dark filament question
HMM i have not heard that but I guess a possibility. But how much of it do you plan to print.
I print maybe 8 hours in a wek. and so fare did an 1.5 hour print with glow in the dark material.
So unless you plan to print a lot of it probably not going to notice an y problem I expect the stainless steel powder and magnetic fill materials could also wear out a nozzle but again how much of it will you print.
IMHO if you want to try a roll of glow in the dark , give it a go.
