Topic: Printing Glow-in-the-dark filament

Hello all

I just purchased a small roll of Hatchbox GITD ABS.

I read a note about the filament being abrasive. Should that be a concern with a stock extruder assembly?

I don't plan on doing any super large projects with it. Anyone used GITD filament before, is it bright?

I've printed a few things with Colorfabb Glowfill and it's fairly bright once charged with a light although it's PLA based so not sure how it compares to your ABS stuff.
Haven't had any problems using it with the stock extruder.

I have used the Hatchbox gitd quite a bit, like about 4 spools worth.

I find it prints exceptional and since it cost about the same as any other color I find myself using all of the time.
