Top 10 Thing to Print with Glow-In-The-Dark Plastic

So...  apparently scorpions glow under UV lights.  Who knew?

Some things are just better in glow in the dark plastic than others.

10.  Things tagged with jewelery12

Basically any kind of jewelery would be better if it glowed in the dark.

9.  Firefly bracelet by neurothing

I suppose this is technically included as jewelery – but it deserves a spot of its because it’s a firefly.  I like fireflies.

8.  Spider Plus Ring by builttospec

There are few things more Halloweeny than a spider.  Unless you’re talking about a spider ring.  :)

7.  Glasses by langfordw

Imagine – glasses that make you see even better – without any change to your prescription!

6. Clip on reading LED by Conrad2468

You’ve only got the power of one little button battery.  If you’re doing something critical, say disarming a bomb with your light duty pliers, and the battery goes out.  Well, if you have Conrad2468′s clip on reading LED, you’ve got a few more precious seconds.

5.  Printable Key Rings by catarina

Anything that makes keys easier to find is a good thing.

4.  Things tagged with dock

Shave precious seconds off your response time to that late night phone call with a glow in the dark phone dock.

3.  Arc reactor prop with led light by dugdug22

This isn’t printable – yet.  When someone creates a printable version, I’m all over that.

2.  Smart Bra Clips by 2ROBOTGUY

This just makes sense.

1.  Skull Throwie by Orion

A skull that you are supposed to throw.  That uses LED’s and magnets.  What could be better?  Maybe if it glowed in the dark.

    actually scorpions do glow, they have a fluorescent chemical called hyaline, like a transparent film in the cuticle that hardens as they mature, all scorpions glow under a uv light and even after they have died the hyaline remains and the shell will still glow

    So we’re do we get glow in the dark plastic filament? I’d love to print the firefly bracelet (not to mention my asteroid models) in it.
