Hyper Luminous PLA carries a phosphorescent pigment that soaks up light and releases it slowly, so a print sits quietly by day and glows blue at night. It is made for cosplay accents, night signage, star ceilings, light-switch surrounds and markers on stairs or door frames. Printing it is much like printing ordinary PLA, so it is approachable for a first attempt, though the pigment is abrasive and a hardened nozzle will last considerably longer if you print it often. Thicker walls give the brightest result, since the glow comes from the body of the material itself.
