Filament response to UV light #141

Open nvtkaszpir opened 1 month ago

nvtkaszpir commented 1 month ago

Hi, I noticed that some filaments response to UV light, and it would be nice to see how they react to it on the photos. Some filaments are great at certain locations because they glow in the dark places when casting UV on them - for example when tracking cables in tunnels, or when someone does project that involves such light to do some interesting effects.

AFAIR right now specific info is provided by some producers but usually only in relation to glowing in the dark filaments.

I believe this is also related to https://github.com/itsthejoker/filamentcolors.xyz/issues/108

I would definitely like to be able to measure this, but don't currently have any equipment that can do so. Do you have any suggestions on what that might look like?

Frankly speaking I have no idea about spectrometers with such options.

I was rather thinking about some UV 365 nm light that is used for example to test banknotes, print the sample, and put it at certain distance and take a picture. Sounds easy, but I bet the devil is in the tech spec...
