Beautiful lithophane. Of course, you choose a great model for it. ;) Side note: I've used that feature when I want a quick and dirty prototype. I sketch it out in black and white in a simple drawing app. Then import into Cura and dail in the rough dimensions. Without a woodworking shop, it's one way to get a rough idea into your hands quickly.

i agree lithophanes are really cool to print. I havent tried cura yet but there are other programs that can do it. I printed a few in semicircles and glued them to a little cheap nightlight. Printing them is so much easier than cnc router and they come out great. Yours turned out perfect

@Jack5822 Жыл бұрын

When you tried the first model you had holes. That is because you told it to print the thinnest parts at .2 mm, with a .4 mm nozzle. Instead of using .5 and 2.5 you should be using multiple of .4. so .4mm and 2.6mm

Why are you not printing these flat? I've done one on my Delta style printer and it turned out okay.

The detail and light transmission was much better when I printed them on edge. My attempts at printing them flat were failures.

No matter what file I use i get the message: "Model Errors: your model is not manifold. the highlighted areas indicate either missing or extraneous surfaces." The highlighted areas are always the "top parts" of the model if there would be an overhang without support, for example a nose the underside would be marked as an issue. Too think or what? Great video!

@RonaldWalters2010 4 жыл бұрын

Have not experienced that. Then again I haven't done this in a while. Try rotating the model 90 degrees in the z-plane (instead of upright, lay it on its side) or try rotating it a bit on the bed. Sometimes Cura will give different results depending on the model position in the slicer. Also try changing your layer height (make it smaller) I generally use 0.12mm layer height. Sometimes one of the settings will get changed such as check/uncheck support or change the overhang angle. It can be frustrating.

@RonaldWalters2010 4 жыл бұрын

I thought I gave everything needed in the video. 0.12 layer 100% infill printed on a 2-layer raft I use 200degC Nozzle and 50-60 degC Bed for PLA. This will depend on the filament you are using. Everything else is covered in the video and each different photo will require a certain amount of experimentation.

@daniellindstrom9002 3 жыл бұрын

I followed your steps exactly, and I'm coming up with 18 hours on a picture at 125mm long, any thoughts? Yours was 8 hours correct?

@RonaldWalters2010 3 жыл бұрын

Details in your particular photograph, plus your settings, may dictate longer print times. Print time is not the determining factor. Clarity of the final product is.

@RonaldWalters2010 2 жыл бұрын

The lithophane is not very thick and even printed at 0.12mm layer, when laying flat, there would not be very many slices (printed layers). I tried it with the Mona Lisa and it did not look very good at all. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. That's what keeps this channel going! Ron

@TheOriginalOrkdoop 4 жыл бұрын

I'm going to give this a try. This might be a dumb question, but can you use PLA that isn't white?

@RonaldWalters2010 4 жыл бұрын

I made a few experimental prints of Mona Lisa and Albert Einstein using tan and gray. With a bright enough light you could see the images but they were nowhere near as pleasing or striking as with white. I would recommend using white. Thanks for watching. Please Subscribe! Ron

You actually can use any color filament you want to. I used to do thee with my CNC mill. It is so much easier and they turn out a lot better.
