Did you try and print the actual light box? I tried and it keeps failing. Printing in mid air inside. There was nothing to support I even tried that but no support got added.
I have issue using this website for pics. every time I download my stl it converts is to zip file and I cannot open it. is there a way to have it download in zip?
The only issue I have with these is what market is there for this kind of thing, ie who would have it lit in a dark room - it's not bright enough to provide any helpful light and doesn't work if there is any light source in the room already. No disrespect to your skills and outcome (and I have printed a sample curved lithophane which looks great) but I'm just wondering how this could actually be used
I tried that and still like the vertical better.. the horizontal has better contrast but also contains more fragments and starts to look bit cartoonish rather than photo.. it looks better from a longer distance, but if you look close the quality is worse

Amazing video! You're insanly underrated
I appreciate that!
Great job! I Just stated doing Litho pic and your video showed me the errors I was doing. BTW I'm ordering the LED base as well. Thanks again!
awesome!
I find it so funny that the bottom of the light falls off at 7:02🤣
0:16 nice search history mate should probs clear that one
good catch lol, fixed

nope didn't try that one but opened the sample model file and there shouldn't be anything printed on the inside of the cube
Is there a reason you didn't print them flat on their backs? Probably wouldn't need support.
printing flat on back leads to lower quality of the printed "photo"
What speed do u run your Lithophane prints at
factory settings for Bambu Basic PLA - OW 200mm/s, IW 350mm/s, sparse infill 430mm/s, internal infil 350mm/s, overhangs 60 30 10 10

zip file is correct. it includes the stl and text file with used settings so you can replicate the design, just extract the zipped files
@therealfazee thank you so much. I will look for the extract button and go from there

it's a decoration lamp, I don't think anyone really buys them to use it as a light source. Although it probably could be with more powerful LED.
Why not just print them horizontally?

@@therealfazee Interesting! Thanks for that!
Why the hell do you have support 😅😅
for perfect print
Good print but supports are not needed.
Amateur hour.
Printing a lithophane with supports??
yes. want them to be perfect
Wow tough crowd.
