Ordered from http://www.repraper.com last week, arrived yesterday & printed a couple things last night. They also have transparent ABS and some that changes color when it heats up.
I measured at 1.63mm - 1.71mm diameter. The stretchlet gcode was posted by geneb. I upped the flow rate in Repetier to 115% since I imagined this filament was thinner than whatever the gcode was set for. Not sure if that even makes a difference?
I took this shot with it on our granite counter, leaning against a mirrored backstop.

Wow that is really beautiful and a perfect print too! Amazing job!
Re: glow in the dark ABS
Thank you!
My 4th grade son and his friends are crazy for these 3d printed objects w/glow in the dark filament. This weekend they designed several little trinkets using Sketchup and we printed them. A few thingiverse downloads too.
His friend's sister (5 yrs old) even did one and she had never used sketchup before (her 7 yr old sister helped her a bit I think). It was just a little box w/some holes in it but it was her design and 30 min later she has it in glow in the dark.
