Love this idea. You are referring to acetate as a liquid, but I am only finding it as a clear sheet for projectors. the only other option that shows up is ethyl acetate. Can you show me an example of what you are referring to? Sorry I am new to this.
Cheers bro, If you jump to the main article you can download STL files of all the models I create in the above video 😊 core-electronics.com.au/guides/3d-print-lithophanes/#Download
These files can end up very complicated and will end up taking Cura a very long time to slice. Just allow it a long time to slice and you'll be good to go!
@@Core-Electronics I ended up using the curved at 360 degrees. The cylinder would either slice at 100% infill or it would have print the inside wall correctly (smooth inside wall, varying depth for contrast). It all worked out. Designed a rotating, back lit stand for it in Fusion, printed all of the parts, turned out pretty decent.
I'd love to see this project in all its glory! We have a project page here which you can post to if you'd like 😊 community clout and store credit both available if you do - core-electronics.com.au/projects/
For this I was using only 0.4mm. Smaller nozzles will result in greater details (but more chance of clogging). Best of luck for your 3D printing endeavors 😊
All modern filament 3D printers can produce lithophanes at great detail and good resolution. Producing a really large lithophane (in one go) all depends on the bed size of your particular 3D printer. If you use a Creality Ender 3 V2 3D Printer the max you would be able to print is one just a little short of the size of an A4 Piece of paper. Hope that helps 😊 Link to it here - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE07744
love this idea and already trying to figure out what i want to print. One question, how long did it take to slice the file? My computer is at it knees with this, and havent seen this before from cura.
Swell question. Even though the structure is very thin there are a lot of complexities within each layer and that is what causes Cura to go slow. For the Vincent lithophane I pressed slice in Cura, then put the kettle on. Once I finished my tea it was good to go. Also, with large lithophanes in Cura it is normal that the first couple of minutes after pressing slice the loading bar looks completely empty, but the slicer is working hard just not giving any feedback that it is.
@@Core-Electronics thank you. Love the content. Already printed a starry night last night. Wifes favorite painting. May have finally found something that she wants to have printed

this video has such a vintage feel about it....even up to the used software for the lithophane.
The first Lithophanes were produced in the 1820s so getting that feeling is A-OK with me 😃
In image settings make sure you change it to positive image. lithophanemaker works great for night lights
Subbed for the info and the jawline! ;D
You have an awesome workshop!!

I definitely want to see more from you
hi bro.it so nice to view your video. and how can i find the rotation lthophane model like in your video,can you share it, thanks

Cura doesn't like the cylinder. Any input would be helpful.

A really useful video, thanks. I've had a few problems with artefacts on my prints, so I'll be trying out your settings.
Fingers are crossed they will sort you out 🙂
What size nozzle do you use?

Hi there, which is the best printer for a good size lithophane picture?

👍
i tried printing them although i cant get tan people or people with a red face to light up just a black blob
Hmm if you're going to use a laser printed sheet you don't really need to do the lithophane, you could just use a flat pane
STL = STereoLithograph, not "standard triangle language"
Great presentation, not cut 10 times in a minute because they can't remember a few sentences.
