- Welcome back to Quick Tech Tutorials! Today we show you a really cool thing you can do with a 3D printer...print a picture! What is technically known as a lithophane, a 3D printed picture will show when it is illuminated from behind. In this tutorial, we show you the steps and printer settings you will need to make it happen and also see what the end result will look like. I made this on my Creality Ender 3 printer.
One thing i forgot to mention in the video is that you MUST use white filament for best results as other colors may not adequately allow enough light through to show the image printed.

why are there not more likes on this! I had no idea that cura could do this, thank you very much
Happy I could show you this!
I print my liqthophanes standing up. Aligned on the y axis. I also use a brim.
Very cool
Good job man thanks!
No problem! Glad it helped!
Nice video! Please can you share your designs for the manual frame & the led frame?
I’d love to try this
Thanks!😃
Sure thing! Will try and get a video up within the week!
where can I find that same frame to hang?
What type of fillament you use?
This was just white PLA 1.75mm
how to make them with colours
what are your printer setting because mine says it will take 20 hours even though it has the same dimensions.
@Richard Hosking it's not necessarily the wrong way of printing it. I found by doing it laying down, I didn't see any layer lines when the light showed through. Nothing wrong though with printing it standing up
.1mm layer height. 100% infill. Print speed 50. Initial layer speed 15.
@Richard Hosking awesome, keep me posted! If there's a way I can do this better, I'm all for it
@@quicktechtutorials7289 You lose a lot of detail with the print laid down. All the lines are .4 wide so your .1 setting doesn't really do much.
@@brucewhite4531 not necessarily. the .1 setting will impact the detail based on how thick I make the lithophane. Each additional layer provides less light showing through so if I made the total thickness 2.5 mm vs 4 mm, there is a difference in the detail and how much contract the lithophane has.
Don’t you have to print it standing up?
Not necessarily. While a lot of videos show it printing standing up, I've had success printing it laying down
