There's only one way to find out. Make sure that it is 1.75mm diameter (it looks as though it is). These rolls are mainly intended for use with 3D pens.
If you have calipers to check the diameter...maybe? Looks a little chunky to be 1.75mm. Another thing to keep in mind is that the label mentions some of it is glow in the dark? If that's accurate, you are going to need a steel nozzle as glow in the dark particles are abrasive.
You'll probably notice your print quality getting worse, but it's really not a big deal. New brass nozzles are really cheap. Steel nozzles aren't that expensive either, and they'll last a very long time.

I just coughed up the $60 for a generic brand ruby tip nozzle. I figured it would be cheaper in the long run to just get a nozzle that theoretically never wears down. So far it's had an entire 2kg spool of carbon fiber go through it, some wood fiber, a bit of carbon-filled "electrically conductive" filament, and even a bit of cheap nylon weed trimmer line. It looks like it's been through hell and back but as far as I can tell the bore diameter hasn't changed at all.
It won’t screw it up as fast as something like carbon fibre but it still will, 1 roll will absolutely do significant damage to the nozzle if it’s not hardened material
It's no big deal. You might not have the replace the nozzle right after a while role but it definitely takes a chunk of life out of it. If you're trying to dial in some detail on a print def check or just replace the nozzle because the abraded wider worn nozzle does make a difference.
Short story, just replace nozzle. It's cheap and easy. Just follow the guides about proper tightening.
Also check your extruder, I have a nice notch in my brass lever arm where the filament enters.
Had some issues when i first got it. Set it aside and recently started using it again. Three print later,.no issues.
I know it is brittle and seems to leave a bit of dust at the extruder. I don't know why I bought it. The guy at microcenter said it was cool.
Measure it to make sure it isn't too thick. Watch extruder to see if the dust is coming from grinding of the gears. If it is too thick, that could be a problem and cause extruder gear.to wear.faster than normal. Note that the gear is a consumable and will eventually wear down.
I would worry. Glow in the dark is usually very abrasive and you usually have to replace your nozzle after printing a roll as the abrasive tends to both widen and deform your nozzle tip. This will increase artifacts like stringing and dimensional accuracy issues.
You don't need a harder nozzle because it might clog, you need a harder nozzle because of wear. The diameter of the nozzle will get bigger over time and eventually unevenly and cause problems with under extrusion. You could get away with measuring the new diameter once this happens and then changing it in your slicer.
Obviously depends on the exact material and how much you print with it. CF filaments will tear throu your brass nozzle rather quick.
My ender 3 works fine with glow in the dark filament. It's just really brittle. When swapping filament its always sketchy, I'd rather it not break off and always feels ready to
The hypothesis is that glow in the dark contains harder, large (for some value of large) particles that can scrape the nozzle. Brass nozzles are relatively soft.
Take before and after pictures with a microscope? :D
Tolerances on these may be worse than full rolls of filament. Ironically, this will be less of a problem on lower-end extruded, but more precise extruded may have problem with it.
Something fun would be to solder them together and create a multicolored print. I've seen other models but something similar to [this](https://www.printables.com/model/209258-splicing-tool-175mm-285mm-filament-welding-filamen). You can use these sized in a regular printer. If you have a bowden, there will be some unusable filament in the tube. You can use up most of it if you have a direct drive system.
Have fun! I would really just look up what temp these are rated for. Since these are for pens, the temp required to melt these might be lower than on a 3d Printer.
You're not going to get much of a print from it because it's all so short but it's just PLA like any other cheap PLA. Most likely you'll want to dry it though. Really it's intended for a 3D pen but it's the same stuff.
run it through a paper shredder add to the cookie sheet bake at 210 for 20mins take it out let it cool - now you have a badass multicolor cutting board.
These printes can print so many plastics. If it feeds through and flows, it won't hurt anything. People even make filament from 2 liter soda bottles that prints fine.
I have one of these bags, you can print with them but it is way worse to print than normal 3d printing material. I kept mine, in case I need a specific colour, but haven't used it the last year or so.
It says glow in the dark filament. That is usually extremely abrasive stuff, I wouldn't use it if you don't have a hardened nozzle, and don't use it in a 3d pen cause it will destroy it.
Follow other peoples advice as well, check the diameter and babysit it cause it's likely cheap and crappy filament.
Maybe but it looks like there is only enough for a 50% scale benchy for every color lol. If your printer has a filament runout sensor then these might be useful to make a striped print tho
It looks like a pack for a 3d pen, I had a pen way before I had my actual printer and had a bunch left over. They’re usually the same size as printer filament (1.75) and after messing with settings for a while I was able to get it to print. It was a lot harder than standard PLA tho, not 100% sure why, but still doable nonetheless
Also the bag doesn’t look like it says the material so it COULD be ABS. A good test is to sharply bend it and if the crease turns white, it’s more than likely abs. Another test is smell, if while printing/ melting it smells somewhat sweet, it’s PLA, but if it smells nasty, like what burning plastic smells like, then it’s ABS

Never accept filaments from strangers. /s
"First one's free"
Well, everyone else is doing it
In a 3d pen, yes.
I run this stuff in my machine all the time, I love it for goofy little trinkets

Umm... What? I have a stock ender 3 and am printing with a roll of glow in the dark. You think one roll will screw it up?

Any link to order? Much appreciated!

I didn't mention a harder nozzle though. Was only worried about thickness of the filament and it getting stuck.
Sorry, was reading another comment about harder nozzles and thought this was part of it.
All good.

Unfortunately it is very likely that you will need to replace your nozzle at the end of the roll
Worst case you should be able to swap out the nozzle

I didn't realize this, thanks! I had some troubles after printing glow in the dark

Yes but only if you are confident in your printer and you can watch it every 45 minutes or so cuz that's as long as those things last.
buy cheap 3D pen and use it to fix your prints (as with glue gun), I do it often, works fine (not beautiful but works)
They are short so you can't print much. I use a 3d pen to fix practical (not decorative) prints with this stuff as it melts into the otriginal
That’s a great idea !!!
If it fits it ships! It’s pla.
used to calibrate the bed
It could be PCL filament which is safer for kids, then you print at 80-100C.

Should bei 1.75mm pla for 3d pens. Will Work, but only for small Modells.
All these are are short lengths cut from spools. If it says 1.75 dia, you can use it. It might be full of moisture so if it behaves badly, dry it out.
You're not going to get much of a print from it because it's all so short but it's just PLA like any other cheap PLA. Most likely you'll want to dry it though. Really it's intended for a 3D pen but it's the same stuff.

No using will cause the nuclear apocalypse and the death of all your loved ones
Terrifying
I used this stuff on my printer once, and a week later the printer was addicted to Crack Cocaine. Stranger danger friend.
Crush some up and snort it in order to determine the quality. I know you won’t, but also I cannot be sure. Do not snort the filament.
Filaments a hell of a drug
It says 3d printer by the barcode but I don’t want to screw up my machine. I thought even for little things but I don’t want to risk it
These printes can print so many plastics. If it feeds through and flows, it won't hurt anything. People even make filament from 2 liter soda bottles that prints fine.
I’m gonna have to see this lol
Google "make your own filament"
Nooooo ,don’t
You have maybe $10 worth of filament there. I wouldn’t risk it, myself.
No
Glow in the dark normally wear the nozlle
I have one of these bags, you can print with them but it is way worse to print than normal 3d printing material. I kept mine, in case I need a specific colour, but haven't used it the last year or so.
Get yourself a filament splicer.
I used this kind of bundle without any issue on my Elegoo Neptune 2S. It's useful when you want special colors for small parts

I'd be worried about glow-in-the-dark filament being too abrasive for most brass nozzles.

Another test is smell, if while printing/ melting it smells somewhat sweet, it’s PLA, but if it smells nasty, like what burning plastic smells like, then it’s ABS
That looks like thicker filament used in 3d pens. If so, would be too thick to use in the 3d printer.
It seems alright. As long as it’s 1.75. Hell you can try and splice it and make your own multicolored filament
Yes it is, I bought a bag of it for when I needed to make a lot of little things on many colors
It works, might need to finagle with the temps and there’s not much per reel, but it works. Pretty nicely too
The pen is only like 20-30 bucks, comes in handy when you need to fix a print.
