Making a lithophane from a photograph and printing it flat on the build plate.
In 30 minutes you get a nice piece of art.
Using grey or white resins and their mixes is recommended,
yellow/grey mix also looks nice (an example here: • A Counter Strike GO Bo... ).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To get the dimensions correct (width and length), prepare your picture by making the aspect ratio of 3:4 or other standard ratio. For example, with 3:4 ratio, by setting the length of the litho to 80mm you will get it exactly 60mm wide.
The lithophanes shown in this video were printed using Elegoo Mars 3D resin printer and
Nova3D Grey Standard Rigid Resin (purchased at their official shop here: www.aliexpress.com/item/40000....
Lithophanes shown in the video were created at: 3dp.rocks/lithophane/
Why choose 3dp.rocks? Because the dog's name is Rocky:)

I didn't even know this was a thing or possibility. SO cool! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanx for your feedback and best of luck in creating your lithos!
Dude that was so sick……. Total jaw dropper
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for making this step by step! Great video. You helped me a lot!
You are welcome 💥
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Cason Waylon instablaster ;)
@Johnathan Jesse Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Johnathan Jesse It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
Really good, really enjoyed this video, keep up the good work!
Thank you.
very nice video, thanks! was a great help creating my own first lithophane!
Thank you!
It was useful and understandable. Thanks!
This is where i think resin printer shines, creating lithophane since its printed flat on surface yet still have that impressive detail, atleast compared to fdm.
Thank you
Great video!
Thanks!
I came here to learn how to make this technique to make a present for my sister, I chose some photos of her dog and I can't believe both of them call Rocky haha X'D
:)) Then it's even bigger coincidence, because at the moment I am printing another (large) litho of this boy!
Just finished. Supports not removed yet.
It's as if it's a hologram. Your are the first to watch:))
@@3DResinPrinting great job!!! Look amazing :D
@@lorenarivas5294 Thanks!
Thanks for so awesome video. I've got a question. There is no problem with printing it totally laid on the printer surface like your example??
You may try, but it is 50/50 that the printed piece it won't bend with time, as some pieces printed flat on the bed do bend regardless of their area or dimensions/thickness. The pieces in the video were printed immediately one after another of the same resin, but the one with the dog keeps its shape until now, the one with the monster bended in a couple of days from printing. You may try adding a (decorative) frame around the piece to avoid bending when printed flat, or print (near) vertically integral with the box/stand as I did here th-cam.com/video/AlNf1yLoI4Y/w-d-xo.html or here th-cam.com/video/metfNeX6j0Y/w-d-xo.html/
I am trying to print a pic of my son. will it print ok vertical as well? using a phrozen sonic mini with siraya fast.
Well, it depends on the thikness and lenght(height) of the lithophane. The thickness is inportant for adhesion to the print plate. The length is important because the longer the print the more pulling impacts (layer) it will have on the upper layers. So I would increase the minimum and total thickness setting for a vertical lithophanea as well as bottom layer exposure time by 3 to 5 seconds and normal exposure to by 1 second. Also for thin bases (as in this case) I normally add "tabs" (squares of 3mm by 3mm and 1mm thick, spaced at about 2 to 3cm) which are adjoined to the base. These tabs greately improve adherence to the print plate. You can easilty sand them off later. If you like (or if you are not familiar with 3d design apps) let me know and I can make a tab model for you so that you can add some of them to the base of the litho in your slicing sotware before printing.
2 other Better Litho making sites, not sure why anyone uses that one anymore. Have you printed an lithos standing?
I print lithos standing but not at 90 degrees and framed. Yes, there are more sites, will do a review soon. But this one is simpler.
have you tried white resin. i ordered a elegoo mars with some white elegoo resin
I personally didn't. But many people do. You can search Elegoo Mars Group on Facebook for it. I believe you will need to make them a little thicker (say 4mm) to get better contrast. You can always print a small one to try.Also note that white resin provides less detail with same exposure as with grey resin. So consider reducing the exposure.
@@3DResinPrinting thanks
Have you done this yet with the sphere shape for Christmas ornaments?
No, I haven't. Did you try to?
@@3DResinPrinting not as yet!
@@martyrayh.2976 Maybe I'll try making one during next week.
For better quality you should really print the image standing still, take more time but quality is waaaaaay better
There are several factors (such as layer height, etc.) to the quality, but I agree in general and here is a vertical one th-cam.com/video/4-ux6dkE3nA/w-d-xo.html
Standing still? Or you mean verticle?
@@3DResinPrinting i agree, but if you print it even on 0.3 layer hieght vertical it'll still be way more detailed than printed flat !
@@TheRealMisterJ yeah verticle
@@yannismarle6154 Another reason to print them in vertical orientation is that they are less prone to warping in this case.
what's the thickness settings?, if it posible to layout Stand straight to maximized na buildplate? thankss
The thickness of the litho is 3mm as set in the Model Settings window of the website. The layer thickness (height) as set in the slicer is 0.05mm. Yes you can place it vertically, you will need supports on the sides and back. On the base I'd recommend adding some supports which should touch the base of the litho with their bases to "extend" the base-to-build-plate contact area.
How do you prevent the corners from bending forward?
If it happens during printing, then raise your base layer exposure a little. If after printing, then I can't give you a reasoned answer because one the the prints (the dog) is still perfectly flat (after 3 years), and the other (the Monster) started getting concave in about one month from printing. Since then I prefer printing flat pieces vertically (or at an angle), or providing a frame along the edges (if suitable for a model).
I print a lithophane with a Ceramic Grey color, and it became very dark, not very much light pass trought the model. What can I do?
It may depend on the total thikness as well as on the minimum thickness you set. Also, the light source should be bright and large enough tover the whole area of the print. Layer exposure time should not bee too high because the pixels become blurred and more "monolithic".
@@3DResinPrinting but after the print did I cure the litophane with UV light? Or not?
@@alessiocaligiuri5459 Yes, you should cure it, but not for long. Also sometimes you have to keep it flat (if it was printed flat) during curing, or even flex it against it flat shape, because they can bend a little with time, especially when they are less than 3mm thick.
Its a nice video but for some reason my file is not converting to an stl after being sliced through chitubox does anybody have an idea what im doing wrong any suggestions will be greatly appreciated i followed the video move for move with no success . Thank you very much.
It should not be converted to STL in Cotubox. 1) You open (in Chitubox) the STL created with 3dprocks. 2) Then you orient the litho as you need on the build plate. 3) Then you set exposire times, etc. 4) Then click the Slice button and then Save button. 5) In the Save window, select the file type appropriate for you printer. It should be .cbddlp, .ctb, .photon or other type as required for your printer. 6) Continue the steps from 4:43 of the video. Hope it helps.
That was the fix my peopoly phenom couldnt read the file and i was too anxious to realize i need to drop down to the correct file . Thank you for all your help and a fine video. Im printing a lithopane for my mom right now again thanks for all your help and a timely response.
Is it normal to take hours to just process the photo?
What do u mean by processing? If you mean refreshing or downloading your image takes too long, there might be an internal problem in your PC or MAC , unless the website it too busy. Normally, to prepare a photo in 3dp.rocks takes about 2 to 3 minues. Slicing and saving it as a file in a slicer takes 1 minute. To print a litho flat on the build plate notmally takes half an hour max. After printing you need to wash it to remove liquid resin from it, it takes another 5 minutes. Curing takes 5 minutes. So, ~45 minutes in all. You might add another five minutes for correcting the aspect ratio if necessay.
No. Seconds
Hey all has anyone tried printing on Resin Anycube Photon the curved version ?
Not yet.
Use Lychee Slicer
Liked for Nazareth!

I am dreaming to get a 3d model of the whole pic (the city). Infortunately, have not enough skills to sculpt it.
