HFGBE-10 specification sheet

Overview:

The Anycubic PLA Glow Filament in Blue (Blue Glow), part number HFGBE-10, is a premium luminescent material designed specifically for FDM makers who want to add a striking visual effect to their 3D prints. This filament transforms ordinary decorative items into glowing masterpieces that shine brightly after exposure to sunlight or artificial light, making it perfect for night lights, lampshades, holiday decorations, directional signs, and unique glow-in-the-dark figurines. The eco-friendly formula is completely free of heavy metals and radioactive particles, ensuring safety during both printing and handling, while its resilient composition resists bending and tearing for durable, clog-free results.

Designed to work seamlessly with all 1.75 mm FDM printers equipped with a 0.4 mm or larger nozzle, this filament offers reliable performance across a wide range of machines. It activates quickly under sunlight, providing up to two hours of continuous blue glow after a brief charge, and prints consistently at temperatures between 200-230 degrees C with a heated bed set between 60-70 degrees C. The new version includes intelligent identification support for compatible Anycubic printers, though users should note that the product ships in either old or new versions randomly, and the older variant is not recommended for use with the ACE Pro system.

Description:

This 1 kg spool of Anycubic PLA Glow Filament delivers a brilliant blue luminescence ideal for creating eye-catching decorative objects. The material combines ease of printing with safety, as it contains no heavy metals or radioactive elements. Its robust physical properties ensure prints are durable and resistant to breakage, while the reusable spool design minimizes filament entanglement during use.

Features:

FAQ

Does this filament work with my FDM printer?
The Anycubic PLA Glow Filament is compatible with all 1.75 mm FDM printers, provided they use a nozzle size of 0.4 mm or larger.

How does the glow effect work and how long does it last?
A brief charge under sunlight activates the luminescent material, allowing your prints to glow blue continuously for up to two hours in the dark without needing electricity.

Is this filament safe to use indoors?
Yes, the eco-friendly material is completely free of heavy metals and radioactive particles, making it safe for creating decorative items like night lights or figurines.

What are the recommended printing settings for this material?
You should set your printer temperature between 200-230 degrees C with a heated bed at 60-70 degrees C, and maintain a speed of 50-250 mm/s. Drying the filament at 60-65 degrees C for 6-8 hours before use is also recommended.

Are there any compatibility warnings regarding printer models?
Please note that this product comes in old and new versions randomly; the old version is not recommended for use with the Anycubic ACE Pro, while the new version supports intelligent identification on compatible printers.
