3D Printing a Lithophane

YouTube Link - 3D Printing a Lithophane

One of the more interesting uses of a 3D printer is the creation of a lithophane. A lithophane is a 3D piece of art that changes characteristics and looks different when you place a light source behind it.

In this tutorial, I will walk you through the steps I use to print a lithophane.

The 2 sites for lithophane creation include:

• Image to Lithophane - https://3dp.rocks/lithophane/
• ItsLitho - https://tool.itslitho.com/UploadImg

I really like all the settings and profiles in ItsLitho and I will use the site in this video.

Printer Settings:

• Layer Height - .1
• Number of Walls - 6
• Infill - 99%
• Print speed - Reduce by 30-40%
• Wall Spped - Print Speed - 10
• Bed Adhesion - Brim

On a bed slinger, orient the print so that there is minimal movement.

Filament Used:

• eSun PLA+ (White)
