Yes, I've looked into the glow in the dark filaments a while back, although it wasn't this specific one. It's very cool stuff, but there are also some concerns with it that you may wish to research. Much like some other "composite" filaments, the phosphorescent powder which is infused into this type of PLA can become very brittle and is prone to snapping issues. Even worse, this type of filament is similar to carbon fiber filament in how it can put tremendous wear and tear on your nozzle. It is suggested to perhaps get a hardener treated nozzle for use with certain filaments like these.
