Do you know if there are any electroluminescent filaments and where to buy them?

Maybe, but phosphorus is pyrophoric and it seems like you'd risk stripping the PVC off by running it through a nozzle, especially at the end of the nozzle where the material would bend sharply.. There's not a lot of phosphorus there, but you could have a tiny fire in your nozzle.

Yea, definitely keep a fire extinguisher nearby if you decide to do this experiment :) But on the other hand, one should probably already have one of those close to any 3d printer.
