- Product Highlights
MG Chemicals Glow / Super Glow in the Dark Polylactic Acid or Polylactide (PLA) 3D printing filaments are made from high purity pellets in which we incorporated a luminescent formula to provide a lighting effect in the dark by absorbing natural or manmade light. It is the optimal choice for use in homes, schools and makers / hobbyists workshops or studios.
- Key Attributes
- Red color changes to natural at 43 °C / 109 °F
- Can be used in high resolution applications
- Low diameter variance
- RoHS compliant
- Acetone resistant
- Print temperature: 180 °C - 230 °C [356 °F - 446 °F]
- No heated bed required
- Made from renewable resources
- Can be used in high resolution applications
- Acetone resistant
- Low Diameter variance
- RoHS compliant
- Print temperature: 180 °C - 230° C [356 °F - 446 °
- No heated bed required

- Wood
MG Chemicals Wood 3D printing filaments is biodegradable, can be sanded and painted and has a sweet odor of wood. It has the ease of use similar to PLA and is great for artists and hobbyists who are looking to experiment with different printing materials. It is highly recommended this product be used with 0.4 mm nozzles or larger to avoid clogging. Smaller nozzles require higher heat to avoid clogging.
- Blend of high purity Polylactic Acid (Polylactide) (PLA) and wood
- Sandable and paintable
- Easy to use
- Low diameter variance
- RoHS compliant
- Print temperature: 185 °C - 230 °C [365 °F - 446 °F]
- No heated bed required
- Offered in both 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter • Bed surface: Masking tape
