Bambu Lab PLA Glow FAQ
Q: How long does the glow last?
A: The glow is brightest in the first hour and gradually fades. After 8-12 hours, it becomes very faint. Re-charge under light to restore.
Q: Why do I need a hardened nozzle?
A: The phosphorescent powder that creates the glow is abrasive and will quickly wear through brass nozzles. Hardened steel nozzles last much longer.
Q: Can I use this with AMS Lite?
A: Not recommended. Glow filaments are harder and rougher, causing increased feeding resistance that may cause failures in AMS Lite.
