Being somewhat obsessed with glow-in-the-dark things, I've really limited myself to luminous filaments. I've struggled through rolls of Hatchbox for years assuming I was just not getting my print settings right (temperatures and flow too low or high, bed not leveled adequately, wrong speed, nozzle erosion, etc.). I had success with non-GITD filaments, but what's the fun in that?
I found the Inland Luminous for a good deal and decided to try it on a whim. I half-heartedly removed my mostly full roll of Hatchbox - which had only given me a few good, small prints, and otherwise just clogged my Ender 3 Pro - and loaded the Inland. I heated and leveled the bed and then started to print some drawers for the E3P I had previously sliced.
The first thing I noticed was, even without perfect leveling, adhesion on the magnetic printing mat was great. I had some low spots that I tweaked as the print was running, and the first layer was able to gloss over any missed paths in the brim and complete a nice first layer. Around this time the Hatchbox would typically clog (or a few layers in, after the print looked like it was going to work), so I didn't have much hope, but I stepped away and let the print continue on. A few layers later, the print was looking fantastic, no stringing, no clogging, the infill looked flawless (Hatchbox would frequently leave non-continuous lines in the thin infill sections), the vertical walls had no obvious issues.
I left the print go and it turned out perfect. I've seen this before, however, and know that just when I think I have everything tuned in, the printer will remind me who's really in charge. Nope, not this time. Second drawer - perfect. Drawer frame - perfect. Tiny battery holder I had designed - perfect. I downloaded a bunch of things I had been putting off printing because I knew they'd be a pain - all perfect. 2 minute prints, 20 hour prints, everything I've tried has just worked.
Not only that, but the glow! The glow is much, much brighter than Hatchbox. The ghostly, milky, off-white color when in light subtly hints that if you're lucky, the object might glow (in the dark). When taken out of the light, even with minimal light exposure and 20% infill, the glow is deep and bright. I've read reviews about other filaments that are brighter but at the time the Inland was what I could find and it does not disappoint. If there truly are brighter GITD filaments, they would have to print as well as this roll has.
I haven't had this roll long enough to know how abrasive it is to a brass nozzle. While not completely smooth, the Inland is significantly smoother than Hatchbox which feels like it could double as sandpaper thread. Only time will tell, but after around 30 hours of prints, any nozzle erosion has not been noticeable.
My initial impression of the Inland Luminous PLA is that its the unicorn GITD filament I've been looking for. The only downside is that I'm going to be going through a lot of it since I am spending much less time on printer maintenance and much more time actually printing things.

Be awar this yellow is translucent. For example, if you print it over black, it will be green. See my butterfly photo. It was to be black, purple and yellow.

So, you'll note the other reviews that say they aren't sure if this is ABS or PLA. My roll seemed a little weird for PLA - it liked higher temps, I needed to dial down retraction, I needed to keep the bed at 60* the whole print. Once I dialed in the settings of .5 mm retraction, 215c for the whole print, and the bed at 60c - it prints great. It's strong, stringing is low, and the prints come out remarkably clean and shiny. It really is a great value for the money.
It's good stuff: But check your label - I received PLA+ aka PLA Pro - NEED DIFFERENT SETTINGS
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018
It does have a bit of an ABS odor to it when it prints, and other people review it say it's not PLA. One look at this small label and mystery solved "PLA+". This is allegedly the same material as eSun's PLA Pro. It's a slightly different blend of materials than regular PLA. It generally has improved characteristics. In so far as I can tell, it's melting point is a little higher, and it's "globbier", which assuredly gives it better layer adhesion but means its a little more sensitive to under extrusion and retraction.
Now that I have the settings dialed in, it is a great filament at a very low price - however, I'm obligated to knock off a star since I didn't get the material I expected. The main label just says PLA - but it isn't like my particular roll is just mislabeled, as it indicates print temperature of 205-225c - the same print temps as eSun's PLA Pro. For regular black PLA, eSun indicates standard print temps of 190-220c.
Allegedly, Inland (Microcenter store brand) filament is OEM'ed by eSun - so the temperatures lining up here seems to corroborate that.
It wasn't until I noticed this little + sign on this little label that I realized what was going on. It's just better filament than they said it is. Tweak your settings accordingly and prepare to be pretty impressed with the quality for the price. I'll be buying more and hoping I get the PLA Pro.
