Panchroma™ Neon PLA

Bright Colors Under UV/Black Light Panchroma™ Neon is a UV-reactive filament that shines with vivid, glowing colors when exposed to UV or black light. This unique property makes prints stand out in dark environments that have UV light with striking neon brightness.

Ideal for Artistic and Specialty Applications Perfect for party decorations, signage, cosplay props, and creative projects that benefit from eye-catching fluorescent effects.

Easy to Print and Reliable Designed for consistent, smooth printing on most FDM/FFF 3D printers using standard PLA settings, Panchroma™ Neon combines visual impact with user-friendly performance.

Choose Panchroma™ Neon when you want your 3D prints to glow brightly under UV light, adding a vibrant, fluorescent flair to your creations.

Printing Tips

These glow materials have an additive that makes them very abrasive. This means you should not print them unless you have a hardened nozzle.

Due to the abrasiveness, we do not recommend printing these in an AMS with plastic gears and tubes.
Other than being abrasive, these materials are standard PLA options and can print with standard PLA settings.
Leave the cooling fan on at full blast for best surface quality.

FAQ

What is there a difference between Panchroma™ Neon PLA and Panchroma™ UV Shift PLA?

The difference lies in what color the filament is when not under UV light. Neon will remain the same color it will glow under UV light, while UV Shift PLA will stay a natural color until under UV light.

Is Panchroma™ Neon PLA abrasive?

Yes, it is recommended to use a hardened nozzle with UV glow materials.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Is this material AMS compatible?

Yes! All Panchroma™ spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

What is Panchroma™?

Panchroma™ is a new family of engineered polymer compounds containing PLA. The formulations are fine tuned for each color/surface finish to offer the best aesthetic quality and printability. They can be reliably printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer under typical PLA settings. All Panchroma™ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".

Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except those listed under "experimental".
