Mini Glowsticks

One kind of filament that has always vexed me since practically day one is the ever amazing glow-in-the-dark filament. I find myself drawn to it like a moth to a flame yet once I have my hands on those fantastical spools I'm struck by one question: now what? What do I print with glow in the dark filament?

While debating April's free print, I thought it might be fun to make something reminiscent of those chunky glowsticks I remember playing with as a child. The scrawny ones were fun but nothing beat the occasional treat that was the absolute unit of the chonky glowstick, the one that felt like it would glow for days on end. As a kid? That was so rad. So nostalgia and nearly full spools of glow-in-the-dark filament came together for this print.

Go forth and light up the night, my friends!

Additional Notes:

• I found that "Concentric" infill supported the top but doesn't show on the outside.

• For best results I charged my glow filament using a UV light. Due to the tiny size, they may not glow for terribly long. I think that may dependent on what filament you're using.

• These should scale up quite nicely though I haven't tested them. I'm unsure if scaling them down would yield good results, if you scale (either way) please note that I cannot guarantee success or not.
