I have a 5th grade 3D Design Club and we made these after I watched your video! The kids and their parents loved them. Thanks!
That is awesome! I will try to get a video of a Maker Coin for your school. They are quick prints and great rewards or giveaways.
Thanks for your time putting this video together and showing us your settings. I can't wait to try this out! Keep up the great work :)
You are very welcome... I have 3 videos on the editor now... so, stay tuned!
This video was extremely helpful and well done, thank you!
This was my first time trying it and it worked perfectly! Thanks for taking the time to go over all the settings. I can't wait to print all the pictures!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this sir, very apreciated
I’m truly a novice but you are so thorough I’m going to try it. Looks like fun.
These are definitely my favorite thing to print.
Awesome content! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Cheers mate!
You are very welcome.
Awesome explanation for how to, was looking for something similar, but this might work the treat. :) :)
Glad it was helpful!
Good info, you have a new subscriber
Awesome! Thanks for this tutorials
You are very welcome.
What an excellent video, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was going crazy trying to extrude manually and make a litophane file on my own... then I found your video. THANK YOU!
Glad I could help!
I was sitting on the toilet thinking if this was possible since I have seen it on laser etched wood. And here we are lol thank you
Outstanding !!! I am brand spanking new to the 3D FDM world and I found your site out of surfing and I thank you for your work and time. Please don't stop plus you got a sub .
Thanks for your kind words!
Nice pfp bro
Thanks for making this video it’s perfect. 🎉
You are very welcome… thanks for watching!
great tutorial. Going to start this week!
Glad to get you started on Lithos... they are one of my fav prints.
very helpfull.
First video from you. Gladly subscribed. I just purchased a CNC machine and a 3d Printer. So I'm learning both right now.
That is awesome... The first few months can be frustrating... don’t get discouraged. It gets easier with practice.
Thanks
This is so cool and I can’t wait to try it. What other thing aside from night lights can you make?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome!
Liked. Subbed.
This is a really good tutorial! Thanks!
You are very welcome.
@@tr3nDmaker actually wait never mind, it came out terribly, no light can even pass through. Do you know what I did wrong?
@@Zxchzsend me a pic... tr3ndmaker@gmail.com
1st thought... thickness is off. Should be .4mm not 4mm
I bought and Ender 3v2 and decided to forget it because settings were too hard for me, after watching your video and having bought another Ender printer I tried those settings and I am currently waiting for the print to be finished, and it looks perfect ! Can't thank you enough will give you a sub !
Super happy to help.
Thanks!
you are very welcome
Thank you!!!
you are welcome.
Thank u very nice and useful video
You are welcome.
Thanks so much. I've printed a lot of lithophanes for clients and friends. I am working on one now that is giving me fits and failed twice. I'm going to try your Cura settings and go for it again. Hopefully I will have a new setting system that works great.
Let me know how my settings work for you.
thank you you are doing very will ... can you please do it in PrusaSlicer software how to add setting and so on and thank you
Hii. Im new to 3D printing and am enjoying your videos.. can u make a video for beginners.. for the basic setting tips to keep in mind??
When you mentioned what to do with a lighter image you said to up the thinnest layer i.e. 1.2 then add that to the thickness. Did you mean add the difference i.e. was 0.8 & 3 so if thinnest is 1.2 would thickness be 3.4 or 4.2? Thanks
Thanks for your video .. can you make a new one using PRUSA SLICER for Lithophanes
Is it possible for you to give the instructions on setting in Prusa Slicer?
Thank you I would love to try it!
Hi Id like to try this with my students. I don't know how to - the video was above my skill set. Do you have a super simple step by step project that I can learn on?
Could you let me know the cura settings for printing with a 0.6 mm nozzle?
Hey was wondering what light source are you using behind the lithophane?
What are you using for base and what for a light for this project. A little plug in LED?
How do I configure the image size, for example, if I want to print 10cm wide by 15cm high? Where do I adjust the image size? Thank you for your help!!
going to try to do this for my boyfriend and i’s one year anniversary :) wish me luck!
How did it come out? Thanks for watching.
awesome video if im doin a flat square should i print it flat or standing like you did and also if i wanted to do a print larger then my bed how bad do the seams show
Definitely standing up... Otherwise it will look like PAINT MODE where different shades are very blotchy. You will get a finer tone change in upright. But, I encourage you to try both and see the difference for yourself. Think of it as a science experiment. Good luck.
Can you download you settings file from anywhere to create and import the settings direct
Great video. I’m pretty new to the 3D printing world. I’m trying my first Lithophane print by following your steps in the video and so far it’s coming out great. There is one very small spot that I got a couple lose strings. What do you think might cause that. The only thing I did do different from your settings was change my print temp to 205 instead of 210. Could that of caused the lose strings.
Where are you getting the strings? Fan 100%? Is it happening on a transition from bright white to dark black on image?
@@tr3nDmaker it’s happening on the transition from white to black on the image
@@adamhillier1769 my suggestions... print slower, lower resolution, 5-10 degrees hotter. Give it a try
You can also use this conversion to create a 3d model of a landscape from a height map, though you might need to adjust the color scale
Very cool idea. Love to see your work!
thanks
You're welcome!
Hi I used your settings asking for an opinion on the presence of many horizontal lines thenks
Send me a photo, ill take a look. Just go to my facebook… tr3nD maker and message me.
Do you have a night light stl you can share?
Is there any way to download your settings. Sure would make it easer for this 79 year old man.
I noticed on my 3d print before I sliced it that there were some red lines for overhang. I will probably try it just like you did and see if there is any issues but I may have to go back to the image to lithophane website and make the frame slightly thinner than 5mm.
It should be fine… the printer should be able to handle small overhangs.
thanks im still trying it out
How did it work out?
@@tr3nDmaker turned out great
Thank you so much for such a good video I'm new to 3D printing and this helped me a lot
glad to help out... more videos posting soon
do you have an up to date cura set up for this as the new version is out
I do not. I will try and work on one soon.
Does anyone know where to go to tune the image before loading it to 3ds website?
Hi there. Great and easy to follow. Just tried my first ever print by following this. Was all going well, until about 1 hour 40 minutes, when it started lifting off the bed? how can I stop this? As I say, first ever print, so have no idea what is causing it, and if it will affect the final print?? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Be sure super leveled... Make first layer with Brim .24mm height and about 15mm wide. If you orient print slightly turned, it will reduce the wobble and lifting. If glass... use Elmers purple glue stick. If textured.. be sure super clean bed and lower nozzle a bit more for more bite on bed. Try again... Good luck
@@tr3nDmaker Thanks for replying. I did follow this tutorial to the letter and put all settings in Cura exactly as yours. But I will try your suggestions on the next print. One other quick question. The quality of the print was very good, even though it lifted off completely after 2 hours, so can I use this profile for any print, or is this set-up specifically for lithophanes? Thanks again and I look forward to learning more with your help.
@@stevemaley3516 Yes, this is based off my stock profile. With a tuned printer... this will produce excellent results.. Just change bottom and top layers to 5 or 6. Infill to whatever you like... say 15-20%.
You mentioned that you use Hatchbox or Sunlu pla. Is it just regular white pla, or is it a specific translucent white color pla? Thanks for sharing.
Yes, regular white PLA. Different PLA in white have different shades or tones. Hatchbox has a warm vintage shade of white. Also, the light will affect tone.
Hi, very nice video,
I have a question, is it good if i print multiple litophane at the same time?
Sure, you can print many at one time… Although, I always print singles.
hey again if i bring a rectangle picture in how do i make it square , do i have to do that in a photo editor ...basically when i bring it into cura it 90x 50 and i need it 90 x90
Yes, I would make it square in any photo editor.
Can we change the width size like we changed Height ?
Yes. Crop photo in photo editor and then use website to convert photo to 3D image.
very informative vid. Thanks..
But try looking straight to the cam next time, not up👍
Thanks for the input... I will keep that in mind for the next video.
Just getting into this. What type of 3D printer do i need?
Ender 3 series are all fantastic and have a huge fan base to help if needed.
What are you doing with the lithophane after you make it? Do you have a base that you print/build so that it stands up without being knocked over easily?
Yes, most people either download a base off of Thingiverse or make their own. Each base would be different based on size, curve, thickness, and light used. Most 3D printers don't release these as they make money selling a finished product.
A mount is easy to make... just use Tinkercad and match with your light of choice.
@@tr3nDmaker thanks for the quick reply. I'll look around and see if I find one I like on there.
If you use Inner Curve and Mirror the image you get a curved lithophane you view form the outside of the curve, but you don't see the image until it is back lit.
Yes. I made a few of these a couple of years ago… A stealth version. Thanks for informing my viewers of this extra hack!
Can the same settings be used for the 3D lightbox?
Yes.
What is the best filament to use?
Hatchbox and Sunlu are my 2 favorites. Sunlu has amazing sales… that when I stock up!
So moving the angle will remove later lines?
If you print is normally clean without lines… most likely. The back and forth of bed moving can make print sway or wobble. At a 45 degree angle, it lessens sway. Let me know if it helps.
@@tr3nDmaker I just have lines maybe on all my prints 😕
Thanks for the great video! I am printing my first litho right now and planning on trying to sell them in the future if all goes well.
How did your 1st litho go? My absolute favorite thing to 3D print...
0:54 cylinder
do any of these need supports at all
No supports needed with Lithophanes... A 5-15mm brim is a good idea though.
Would you share your lithophane Cura profile ?
Although I have a few very tweaked Cura profiles... each for specific situations.
For my videos, I always run stock Cura settings, except for setting I adjust in video. This will let the viewer see what they can expect from their printers.
That being said... My printer is 100% square, eccentric nuts are properly adjusted, belts adjusted and there is zero slop in x,y and z. Perfect bed level. If you are not getting good results from your printer... 80% time it is because something is loose, too tight or not square.
15% is just too fast. Maybe 5% is a bad setting.
In video, I scroll thru my settings. You can copy every line and try it... But, I find, when I use someone else's profile... It just doesn't work that well. Good Luck and let me know how it goes or if you need help on something.
can you do it with PETG filament as all i have left is PETG
Yes. PETG works fine… just a bit slower.
@@tr3nDmaker thank you for the reply i have nothing but time at the moment
Note… each filament will give a slightly different look also.
can you send me the cura profile you made
Does black work?
I have seen people using colors and grays before without issue. If going black… you will need to compensate for less light by using much thinner walls. You will likely need to experiment for your filament with thinnest and thickest walls to get optimal results.
Can you please put all the settings on a comment please
On the walls need help
Describe what your walls are doing or what is wrong…
