Actually I am looking for a filament to use. Price differences are large - HATCHBOX, ColrFabb but what about the quality ? how bright is the glow etc.

Colorfabb is really pretty bright, Hatchbox is very close (very hard to distinguish).

Sorry, my ipad and the forum software don't get along. The 2nd part of my post disappeared.
I'd second Colorfabb. Hatchbox has been hit or miss for me. Any of the phosphorescent filaments can erode the nozzle. If you haven't already you can order a stainless steel one here.

Put stainless steel in the notes on your order.
I've been printing these with Afinia's Glow Blue ABS. It has a mild glow compared to the white (glow green) or grey (glow blue) colorfabb but it does have color in white light.
