Jellyfish NightGlow

thingiverse

Got some blue glow-in-the-dark PLA so decided to model and print a jellyfish. I've included the whole thing here, but rather than chop it in the modelling program, I lay it down on the print bed in Cura and positioned it so half of it was below the bed, meaning it printed with a flat back for easy sticking to the wall. It will NOT print easily - if you don't have decent part cooling, a lot of the dangling lines will come out messy, but I think that adds to the charm to be honest. I may redesign it with a space for a UV led inside so it can be easily charged up, but for now, someone asked me to upload it so here it is, have fun! Printed on an Ender3v2 with a V6 clone hotend, using Amolen Blue Glow PLA. Retraction was 2mm (as you'd imagine with an all-metal hotend and bowden tube extruder), nozzle temp was 200C, bed temp 70C. Took about 4 and a half hours. This stuff tears up nozzles so I printed at 20% infill, any more than that and it won't add to the glow anyway.
