i literally wasted a whole day yesterday between installing Luban and following your instructions exactly..not to mention my computer locking up constantly
Just without words.. thank you so much to share this video!! Of course we want a livestream seeing you failling some words on the script 😁 maybe unfortunatly i cant assist but expect to see it 👍 just awsome content, very informative, nice job!
Very interesting. I will definitely have a go at this. Thanks. With regard to a live session, I can't stand them, it can be like watching paint dry unless it is done well. I prefer submitted questions which are then answered. Less fluff and more info.
very nice video, I'll try that out. If you want to straighten the base in chitubox, hold down the right mouse button and roll the middle mouse button ;)
Hi there I was just wondering what jpg or png file did you use for the coca cola graphics like the label and on yours it just wraps around which is cool If you could please send the link to that image Thanks
Hey Garrett, great video! Thanks! You mentioned that you use Chitubox for slicing, what version are you using and have you run into any problems with it? I installed it but it won't load, tried 64bit and 32bit, don't get it.
I figured it out..The can file came in on the wrong axis..i had to change my x,y,z to match your values..my xyz wasnt the same as yours for some reason it came in on different axis..my "Y" was actually my "Z" if that makes sense..i was just frustrated..appreciate your videos!! thanks
I designed a 3d printer pot and I want the lithophane to wrap around the outside but for some reason it wraps around the inside also. Is there a way to change that?
I have a Question about the Resolution setting. It started at 10, then you went to 2. That surprised me, because I would have thought that the values would have been 10, out of 100, say. And, I can understand why it is defaulted to something very low res, bc the program could crash, or at the very least, be VERY bogged down at start up. I just figured that you would go up, and not down. I am curious to know what the Max Res setting would be then, please? .... /boggled
great video gets me so close to my goal ( putting a scary face on a pumpkin print) but the software seems to have no way to control where your image is positioned on the object. (in this case I need the picture to line up with the front face of the pumpkin) has anyone figured out a way to do this?
4 tries yesterday 4 fails on Saturn. I used your scale and exact settings you used in Luban.. exact...So frustrated..Even reflashed the new machine parameters for the Saturn as recommended..i even sliced it with real conservative settings in chitubox..rotated it just like you did.same supports..i used heavy duty supports..i have no idea how you got this to work..How many failds did you have ?
Hi ive been trying this for ages but just cant seem to get it wrapped around like you have. I have been using the same settings as you but no luck. Any tips please? Also when i set model sizes, the others change too so i cant set x and y to 379 :( please help!
How much did it cost you for the resin for the coke can? How expensive was it? I definitely want to try it. I've done lithophanes with PLA but SLA sounds much cooler.
Hey Print Farm guy..Can you help me? My head is gonna explode..I follow your tutorial exactly..and still the model wont print..what i dont get is that i have min set to 1mm and max 5mm..mine looks exactly like yours..i bring it into chitubox and it looks fine..tried different settings..tried vroom, tried a raft, no raft..slow lift speeds supported just like yours..still fails everytime..so i bring the model into prusa slicer cause i was gonna just fdm print it..then i see when i slice it, its not solid..the walls have breakthrough spots all over it..no wonder it wouldnt print..so why when min thickness is set to 1mm is it breaking through but you dont see that in Luban or chitubox?..model looks fine..the only other thing i dont get is my model comes in with the top and bottom along the y axis..not the z like it should be..i even set my axis before i bring in model and it still does it..I honestly dont think people will have success printing this..my wall thickness looked like 1mm not 5mm anywhere..what is up w that? .its not even close to that anywhere..its like 1mm and less everywhere..ill show you pics of my fails..the supports print but the model fails a few inches up and the walls basically fail..i thought it was my Vroom settings..so i didnt do that and even printed it 70,70,70.. .05 hgt, bottom layer 4, exposre time2.8, bottom exposure 20-30, transition layer 10, 7mm lift distance, 70 speed i think the walls are to thin..ive printed 100's of lithopanes before..never had this problem..ive tried everything..heavy supports, you name it ive tried it..i want to know why the walls arent solid..obviously the (1mm minimum isnt working)

@@3DPrintFarm Yes please. I have a friend that I would love to make this for, because I spent hours trying to get a good quality picture like you got for the "tattoo" and cant find one
@@3DPrintFarm: My question was more of a "yes" or "no" question. I saw how you manipulated the file to get rid of most of the pixelation. I'm still curious as to whether or not you could have use a 'vector' art file instead?
@@jayedwin98020 Just to add to this though, its not so much that the original image was badly pixelated, it wasn't, its just the representation in Luban was set as a low resolution ( 10 ) this is done for manipulation purposes as what you are seeing in the model isnt actually the image, but the 3d representation of the lithophane of the image, and a higher resolution makes it more processor intensive to manipulate. The pixelation goes away when the resolution is raised but the processor and memory usage becomes more intensive. In short even if you could use a vector image you would get the pixelation at the resolution of 10, as its the 3d model your viewing and not the image file itself....if that makes sense
Make sure and register your trial license here. www.luban3d.com/license (halfway down the page). This will allow you to save files larger than 5mb.
This is an amazing application, thank you for telling us about it!
I have some experience with Luban, and making LITHOPHANES.... what an awesome vid. THANKS !
Thank much!!

Thanks Paul for your feedback! You are exactly right. If I did one, it would be 'lively'.. competition, games.. giveaways perhaps...hmmm.
Thank you for making this. Awesome job
You are very welcome! It was a fun build!
Hey Mr 3DPrintFarm do a live steam on tidying your desktop.
Great video. Keep it lit.
BWHAHAHA! I knew someone would mention that! Glad you are paying attention! ;)
Awesome!
nice virus
Heck yes! Do a live stream
Great Video Thank You
i cant get my resolution to look like his..without my computer crapping out
Gradually reduce your Resolution to something acceptable. How low can you get before it craps out?
Hey 3DPrintFarm ... great video - really enjoy you stuff.
What screen capture software do you use?
Great Video Garret. It would be great to see you in Your live Stream to answer questions, its been a few months since you were on mine.
Thanks man!! I'm gonna do it!
Luban is awesome!
Yes it is! Luije is great as well as the Luban community!
very nice video, I'll try that out.
If you want to straighten the base in chitubox, hold down the right mouse button and roll the middle mouse button ;)

Lache pas mon ami! encore un bon video bien reussi et interresant...
Hi there
I was just wondering what jpg or png file did you use for the coca cola graphics like the label and on yours it just wraps around which is cool
If you could please send the link to that image
Thanks
Hey Tirth! If you do a Google image search on "Coke Can Label", top line, 4th image to the right! That's the image I used!.
My picture get put on this can correct but the words at the bottom of the picture are backwards any idea how to fix this?
would love to see a live stream
It would have helped if you had an overview at the begining saying exactly what this was, and that it was a 100% resin print
GREAT Tutorial - I wonder...I'd like to speak more to you about your ability to promote LuBan Tutorials. How's the best method to talk?
Good Video. Could you link to your project files. That way I can see how my printer performs next to yours.
Thanks!
hey man great video im strugeling with luban i cant seem to add a logo on my rugby ball mind helping me out?
Top Man
Nice Tutorial thanks! for some reason once I slice it causes holes in the model.

How did you change it? Mine is doing the same thing.
Hi I have been following you for some time. When I try to bring the can in it is sitting on it's side. Could you explain how to make it standing?
Something gorgeous!!! Have you ever tried gray resin for lithophanes ? What do you think?
Yes!! I used gray Siraya Tech Fast for mine! It works GREAT!
Cool... o gonna a try... thanks a lot...
Great Awesome Video!
what LED Bases did you use for Lightning?
Hey Daniel! I placed a link in the description to the base I got from Amazon! Thanks!
I load the can and it sits along the Y axis, how to I change the can to have the top and bottom along the Z axis?
I designed a 3d printer pot and I want the lithophane to wrap around the outside but for some reason it wraps around the inside also. Is there a way to change that?
Cool video, thumbs up - BUT the pricing on this software is out of control. $400 for lifetime. yeah right

What is the best 3d printer for lithos ?

Excellent video! Quick question did you have to convert the Coke image to black and white or can you use a color image?
Any photo, no need to only use black and white.
@@luban9604 Thanks! 😁
No need for B&W! Any photo works great!

Same here. I had to invert my image and change it to the show on the -Y axis.
I couldn't at first either I think its the scale of the image scaling the coke can up fixed the issue for me
when i import the can , it sits horizontal along the Y axis , how do i get the can to stand vertical along the Z ?
Can you do a 3d figure lithophane like of a character
hello, do you need a license to make the cans?
How much did it cost you for the resin for the coke can? How expensive was it? I definitely want to try it. I've done lithophanes with PLA but SLA sounds much cooler.
The resin I used for the Coke can was Siryatech FAST Gray! Thanks for asking!

@@jayedwin98020 for now, you can only apply a bitmap to a model to make lithophane.

The title of this post should be as follows: A tutorial using Luban (a paid program) to try and make a lithopane..if you can make it work...
how trustworthy is this software because window say this software can harm my cpu?
Really expensive though
I use the exact same files and exact same numbers you use and it looks like shit..
the fact google drive says this file may harm your computer isnt giving me any trust in this programme
Great video, but clean up your desktop lol.
"License"??? uhm... Thanks, but NO.
Pf need license windows.... canot download large file... can make only shit...
Please dont say "Vroom Vroom" anymore..the first time was enough
HA! Do you double-dog dare me??
cool idea it appears the can might be too thick though to see much if any light through it
