They are ideal for:
If hanging on the wall or on a cardboard or another object and thus with only one face visible, print the first few layers of colored filament similar to the colour of light emitted by the glow in the dark filament or a color of your choice for greater daytime visibility (often glow in the dark filaments are opaque or almost transparent) and print with glow in the dark filament only the last few layers. The colored bottom layer will also act as a reflector and enhancer of the light produced by the fluorescent filament.
If the stars are hanging in the air and visible from both faces print first one layer with glow in the dark filament, then with a colored one as shown above, and then another layer with glow in the dark. This way you will increase the visibility from both visible faces.
If hanging or or glued to something I suggest printing the stars on a wrinkled or textured plate for better adhesion if glued. Otherwise if visible from both sides opt for a smooth plate.
This 3d model is great to combine with this other model of mine with a set of 52 constellations in relief ideal for printing with glow in the dark filament here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/817100#profileId-759506
Plate: smooth or textured
Textured plate recommended if stars are to be glued to something, the texture provides more contact surface and allows better adhesion to the surface to which they will be glued.
Ironing: not required
I suggest using the settings included in the included 3mf print profile created by me.
Tests and results: The model shown in the pictures was printed with yellow and "glow in the dark fluorescent green" PLA filament, Bambulab P1S printer, textured plate
