⚙ Creality K1 Tested 2025
4/5

Glow-in-dark PLA contains strontium aluminate phosphor particles which are abrasive. Prints like standard PLA but requires a hardened nozzle for extended use.
Tips
Replace brass nozzle with hardened steel for glow PLA — phosphor grit wears brass quickly. Standard PLA temps work well.
