This is the same 3D model as my [faux silver Hive logo](https://peakd.com/hive-103035/@holovision/faux-silver-hive-logo-3d-printed) but this time printed using glow in the dark green PLA.

In ordinary daylight the print appears translucent white in color.

The 3D print emits a green glow in the dark after being exposed to a blacklight or strong sunlight. The "glow" part of the PLA filament is strontium aluminate which [according to Wikipedia is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_aluminate) "...the longest lasting and brightest phosphorescent material commercially available." Since the strontium aluminate makes the PLA more abrasive while being extruded I printed using a steel 0.4mm nozzle rather than brass.

For this print around five minutes of light charging produces a glow that lasts around two to three hours but the glow does diminish over that time.
