Borg Cube glow in the dark

thingiverse

Here's a glowing Borg cube you can build! This model measures about 7cm across. Print four of the top-bottom parts and eight of the sides, then glue them all together. I printed these parts at once using Cura, slicing them with a layer height of 0.2mm and a first layer thickness of 0.2mm. To switch between glow-in-the-dark PLA and black PLA filaments, I used a post-processing script in Cura to pause the print at 1.4mm and then resumed printing. I found that setting the bed temperature to 60c and the nozzle temperature to 210c allowed both filaments to bond properly. I printed this model using Jaycar Electronics glow-in-the-dark PLA and Geeetech black PLA.
