eSUN eStars PLA Filament 1.75mm Galaxy Black Glow

For best results, we recommend an extruder temperature between 210-230°C. The heated bed should be maintained at 45-60°C to ensure excellent first-layer adhesion and minimize warping, especially for larger models. These settings balance material flow and structural integrity for reliable prints.

eStars PLA incorporates special phosphorescent pigments that absorb light energy from ambient sources, such as sunlight or artificial light. After charging, it gradually releases this stored energy as a vibrant green luminescence in dark environments. UV light sources are particularly effective for rapid charging.

Prints can be cleaned with a soft brush or compressed air to remove any support material. For optimal glow, ensure the print surfaces are clean and exposed to light. No specific post-curing or chemical treatments are required. The material’s inherent properties provide a smooth finish directly off the print bed.

Yes, like most PLA filaments, eStars PLA can absorb moisture, which can degrade print quality. It's crucial to store the filament in a cool, dry place. Each spool comes in a vacuum-sealed bag with a desiccant, and it's recommended to return it to such an environment after use to prevent moisture absorption.

While primarily aesthetic due to its glow feature, eStars PLA retains the high rigidity and good mechanical properties of standard PLA, with a tensile strength of 72 MPa and bending strength of 97 MPa. It is suitable for functional prototypes, decorative components, and light-duty mechanical parts where its thermal resistance (HDT 53°C) is adequate.
