  Pretty sure you will earn forgiveness for that pun.

  You have any tricks for glow filament? I tried to print with it again and just like always it immediately clogged my hotend to a stage where I have to print way slower and I hate to think I have to sacrifice one to this stuff every time.

    I’m using a diamond tipped nozzle, 0.4mm. I understand that smaller nozzles like 0.2 don’t play well with filaments filled with solid materials, and the glow stuff suspended in this is indeed a solid material.

    Temperature may be an issue, but I wouldn’t know. I print PLA typically at 230° C, including this filament, which I am certain many people will find jowl-flabberingly appalling but that’s what I do. My machine goes pretty fast and I found that gives me the best results.

    Going to a larger nozzle and kicking it up a bit on temp is going to solve a lot of the problems.

    Slowing it down and reducing retraction will also provide some help but not as much.

    Side note- use a hardened nozzle (micro Swiss is inexpensive for the occasional abrasive, but they’ll still wear, just slower. Diamond/ruby nozzles won’t wear nearly as much, or, at all but are expensive.) this won’t stop clogging, but it’ll wreck the normal brass nozzles and throw off your flow settings.
