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.

WOW when did they get that in? I paid like $50 for mine on Amazon. what colors?

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.

I just printed a bunch of commemorative tokens for a bike ride going through our town.

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

Blacklights make all glow material glow intensely.

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
