It's amazing what creators can come up with when there is so much cooperation.
I made a round lithophane for my wife for Christmas on my CR-10. It is 8" in diameter with four family photos and took 50 hours to print. I built a base and top so it can rotate with a stepper motor. Still working on the mechanics as I had to upgrade my printer to a Volcano recently and it got put on hold. I intend to put the files on Thingiverse and the build onto Instructables when I get things working correctly. I love these things too.
Great video Joe. I did a couple of these a couple of months ago, and they turned out spectacular. It's amazing how much detail is captured.
It turned out great - love the picture from BAMF! Thanks for sharing MH Build Series filament!
You guys have amazing filament and I would buy it, I just cant afford it.
Great job showing the process of creating 3d printed lithophanes. I have been trying to time lapse the lithophanes themselves and finally have some success.
Awesome video Joe! Thanks for sharing this very cool method of making Lithophanes.
Great video and project detail, keep it up Joe!!
All of the lithaphanes I printed we never did a border before. But after watching your video and seeing how good yours look with a border I'm definitely going to try a few. Thanks for the ideas. Another good video. We enjoy your content. Have a great night. God bless
Wow, Thank you for trying it out. it is a great inspiration
Nice tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to share! Awesome!!!
Can't wait to try one!
PETG Litophanes? Amazing Joe! I used always very cheap PLA. But i have 0.4mm nozzle.
Great as always! Cheers
Nice gift idea. Definitely will try it out.
Awesome, I've done a couple of them, first one works well but the 3rd one hasn't turned so well. Going to try your set up, ender 3 no mods, cura slicer.
Hey joe!! Lithopanes are absolutely amazing... seriously I have orders for people that want them like crazy and have been using that money to try and get another printer so I can batch them out even faster! I’m finishing an order now with 13 pics and one thing I have come across is with my printer is to turn it about 45 degrees in the slicer and that can help get rid of some of the ghosting if you ever come across that. Other than that I can’t tell you how many ppl are absolutely amazed with these things and can actually make you a little bit of extra money.
Hi Kryptonic, may I ask what price they sell for and the size of them? thanks!
@@DonTheGuitarGuy I'd be interested in the answer to this question too.
can i get one printer as this ?
Thanks Joe, really well explained. Cheers, JAYTEE
Thanks Joe, Didn't know these existed until today. Definitely trying out today!
I don't think he said it, but make sure to use 100% infill to make this work ;)
Yeah he said it when going through the settings
Great video. Will try it. I myself was attempting to print photos using multiple colour of filamentets. The effect is not that great but the photo does not need light to be viewed.
If a flat lithopane is all your looking for you can use Cura ( all versions ), just drag and drop a jpg file on to the Cura build plate and adjust the settings to your liking.
If you print it flat I heard that you must turn off retraction or you will jam your nozzle so it would be best to rotate it 90°. I tried printing flat without retraction and I had so much stringing I just threw it away.
Thank you for an excellent demonstration and instructional video sir. Seems like you covered everything. Now off to making xmas gifts for fam and friends.
Hey what cooling blower did you have on that printer. Great video.
Awesome video I'm definitely about to try this!!!!
I wanted to buy CR-10 Mini, but link doesn't work anymore :(
When will you resume your Anet A8 project :)?
Great Vid, I followed your instruction and got a perfect print. (Using Cura 15.04). But after the first two prints, I noticed the string support on the back of the print when using outer curve. Not sure if I made changes from 2nd to third print. but the string support on the rear is bit much to clean up. The first print was very smooth and the third print, a little ruff, any ideas???
How do you print, make holes in your models? I'm making brackets.
I have wooden maneki nekos figurines, made pictures of them, but it's hard to use the software to remake them.
I wasn't sent a flash drive with the printer. I had to download the file.
what infill and perimeters do i have to use?
Is it better to print standing up or laying down with curve as featured in video?
cura 3.6 settings would be nice to fine tune on my cr 10 s5...having border issues
Do supports need to be turned off ? while slicing I seem to be having the support structures generated
Interesting, its got me wondering how this might turnout on the Moai printer. Thanks
Lately I've been printing a lot of Lithophane memorials for family and friends who have lost loved ones including pets. :( sniff. However It has brought on a lot of smiles. :)
Great video.......how long did that sample print take?
What % did you have your infill set at or doesn't it matter?
could you please share your simplify 3d profile, and did you use the stock hotend on cr 10 s
Estimate time for a 3" tall at 20mm speed is over 2 days. Using Cura 4.3 ......is that right?
how long did this print take just sliced mine and its a 17 hour print
If you convert the picture to black and white before you make it in to a lithophane looks much better.
Martin Cho
Use photoshop. Adjust colours automatically. Convert to black and white. Adjust brightness and contrast to something nice. Go to levels and use the auto function to make white and black the two extremes.
Send to the website for creation.
For anyone looking for some free software to do this, Gimp is a great option. Similar to photoshop in function, completely free.
I use photo shop to remove the background and to convert to black and white... much better results
Can you do a tutorial on how to unjam the nozzle? I jammed mine really bad trying my first damn print on my anet a8 lol, I tried to take it off with a socket wrench and forgot to heat it so the nozzle ripped off into 2 pieces, new part from amazon arriving friday...
whats your setting for infill and perimeters
Thanks! works great!
dont have simplify slicer.
how about for cura do you have any settings please?
Good Video! Loved it!
I want to try this but wondering how the PLG Filament will work?
Can you print it out of tpu?
So have to try this
It looks like you replaced the glass bed on your printer. I just got my CR-10S and I can't get a lithophane to stay in place. I even tried sanding the glass, which helped a little, but after it gets past 1 inch tall, it starts to lift. I'm printing with PLA and have a bed temp of 72.
Great Tutorial!!!!
I wish more 3d makers would use CURA or some other free software instead of Simplify3d. If someone is just getting into the 3d printing game that 150 is more often not available. However your videos are always on point! Keep up the great work.
I know what you mean Randall Bourque. I used Slic3r when I started 3DP. Although I liked the look and features of S3D, I pondered it for a few weeks before shelling out on it. But I'm glad I did.
However. These days, the free slicers have come a long way since then so I doubt I would make the same decision now because there is a lot less difference between them now.
The one feature of simplify 3D that appeals to me is the custom supports and for that I use Craftware which is free.
Craftware has one quirk that I don't like and that is that it runs the startup G code before it starts heating the Bed and Nozzle which means if you use a nozzle wipe in your start G code you must manually pre-heat before starting your print.
electronron1 can't you add a "heat and wait" command to your start-up g code?
I tried it but it didn't work but that was version 1.14 Beta. They just released 1.15 which I just downloaded. Some big improvements in this version so maybe it will work now.
I agree, but the settings translate over to Cura. Speed, resolution, print temps, etc aren't unique to S3D or any other slicer. The menu structure is different, but they're the same at their core. I just wish we could get custom supports in Cura.
Hey do you know can sla printer print this type of photo?
Only heard about lithophanes this morning and already want to make them, really must order a 3d printer, do you think the Wanhao 3i plus will be up to doing them. I appreciate your enthusiasm and you seem to make it all sound easy. Cheers from NZ
The i3 plus is definitely more than capable I assure you :)
where can I buy a night light that will work with this?
How much does it cost me to make a photo you have made? thanks for the great video!!!
Thanks!!
The thinnest layer in the lithophane generator should be set to two times the nozzle diameter (so in your case to 1.2mm) to get it sliced without holes
Nice, you should play with thr settings and create a lamp shade. Image settings and drag it to 360°
i did just that ;) worked out fine it has been downloaded over 40 times already ;) heres a vid i made of it th-cam.com/video/FpRvZG3G9UM/w-d-xo.html which i made for my mother for mothers day
also heres the link to the files on thingiverse >>>www.thingiverse.com/thing:2745631
Hi, I tried many time, but i didn't get colour lithophane. can anyone tell how to do the colour lithophane?
Hi how to get the file in to Luban, i juse Snapmaker 350
Mine doesnt let the light through...3mm thickness. I use white pla. Whats with that
So it's like embossing?
Cool, but when I use a vertical image it what to print horizontally. How do I flip it vertically, nothing seems to work. Thanks!
Rotate/flip in your photo editor software.
can you share your cr-10 fff profile for lithophane?
Hi, how long is this print now ? If i like to do this i get print time of 33days crazy
very good.. very thanks
Trying one now of my 7 month old boy. Thanks!
Hej . wall thickness 3,3mm and there will be no spruce.
Just white PLA 1.75 would work? Or not?
Can I use PLA White for this?
yes, but not recomended to put candle to near the pla for light source.
You would get better results if you increase the tickness of the lithophane and turn it black and white manually before importing. That way you will be able to adjust the contrast to have a better looking image. Personal opinion, your lithophane could use a bit more contrast. Good video as usual! :P
This is curved one...if I use a rectangular and flat surface..is it okay to keep the orientation as horizontal while printing?
yes, it's very important to do so, just make sure you use a brim
Does PETG give you anything more than PLA for lithophanes?
John temperature resistance. Petg softens and melts at a higher temp than normal pla. If using pla, I'd prob suggest a low watt LED light source if used as a lamp. Also pla will eventually melt in sunlight after a while if it's a window sill decoration.
If used in normal room temp and not as a light shade then I'm sure pla could work. Designing one this weekend to try and print myself in eSun PLA plus.
Joshua Dufresne thank you for this, very helpful.
You can now upload photo's directly into the cura software :)
You can do most of this using plain old Windows PAINT. Again, convert your photograph to black and white, and save as a bitmap. Even out any bright skin highlights. The backgrounds look best as dense black. Again draw over them using PAINT graphics. CURA will process them, even providing a range of adjustment options. I'm just experimenting now with creating objects just using PAINT. Sloping objects can be created by laying down strips of gradually lightening shades of grey. Doing it this way, the print is made flat on its back on the bed, not standing up.
Can’t you do the same by dropping a photo on to the build plate in cura"
I think you can in Cura, but no customisability.
Yes. I'm just experimenting with this now. You can by-pass Blender by designing simple objects using Windows PAINT. Just remember to use black, white and all shades of grey in between. The only downside is that you can't design features on vertical sides of objects which you obviously can using Blender.
At the 5 min point, you said 20 mm per second, yet the setting says mm/min. As you, I use Simplify3D so I am confused as mine is always set at 4000.00 mm/min -- 20 seems horrifically slow comparatively speaking
My settings are listed like 2800 mm/s Does it use the zeros?
Jim Davekos in S3D options you can change the speed units to mm/s. I don’t think your 2800 is per second.
Correct it says mm/min what does that mean
Thanks I change it ti mm/s
Now I just have to play with these new settings to see what I can do thanks
How are you doing joe
What is your infill %? Thanks for this awesome video
100%
@@3DMakerNoob thank you!
I can't get ANY of my pictures to work with this. None of my color nor black and white(grayscale).
download cura and drop ur pictures into it u will get a stl file for printing lithophane
I try this but is not beautiful
please send my your gcode for try
Dang....thata a fast printer.
Nice video Joe, they are impressive, I did one for my daughter's wedding, it was a light box, it's on my you tube channel if you wanna take a look at it
Is that SWAT Kats? lol. reminiscent at least.
Didn't RCLifeOn do this before?
RandoModBuild yes he made a whole bunch of cool ones
Do you have a video where you share your full settings? I have a CR-10S and am having trouble dialing it in.
They was invented in the 1820s in Europe mate.
Yes. They used to carve them from marble.
My parents had one made from jade.
I've been masking these and yes they are so cool to look at! Amazing transformation with a light behind! They were originally invented way back in the early 19th century! Made of porcelain. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithophane Very interesting.
100% infill is not actually right, the print needs to be entirely perimeters -- set to 8-10 perimeters to avoid infill entirely, or you'll see infill in the lithophane.
Even if you use 100% rectilinear infill?
kazolar
70 % infill is actually better. Even 50 % works.
Typo in url on screen at 1:35....
is petg toxic to print?????
The only issue is how long they take to print.
Did you use 100% infill or 0% infill and just adjust the number of items outer shells?
I used 100% infill, however having 3 perimeters should cover it without infill anyway as it’s not thick at all
Screw the content (however good it is)
YOU HAVE A FOTO WITH ADAM???? *fanboy mode on* HYPE HYPE :D
Lol I also have autographs ;)
the site is way too slow for usage
MARRY ME ♡
10 hours for litophane is just too much... i think ?
thats a crappy lithopane you got there
That’s crappy spelling you got there......
