I’m finally getting around to messing with this stuff. Now I can balisong in the dark.

Step 2 is determining how badly all the particles of gumf in this filament negatively impact the mechanical strength.

Edit: I probably should have said this in the first place, but this is Overture green glow PLA.

The model is my Rockhopper balisong utility knife. Go check it out – it’s fully printable, even the hardware.

    Imagine how I feel when I see the old stuff. Yes, it is cheaper and for child toys why not. But frigging filament, signs etc.? Strontiumaluminate based stuff is just a different level. just compare them, the old ZnS based stuff fades SO fast you can barely see it in a time lapse.
