- Go to LithophaneMaker.com/Color%20L... to design and 3D print your own!
I have ideas on how to improve this process like:
1) Make it possible to print multicolor lithophanes on a stock 3D printer,
2) Make it possible to print the white portion vertically,
3) Allow the user to add their own custom color palettes!
4) Add your ideas in the comments!

Be sure to use the BEST and ONLY filament formulated for lithophanes from americanfilament.us/. Every filament purchase there supports the continued development or Lithophane Maker!
Which 4 should I purchase for full color Lithophanes? Would you mind setting up package, even at full price that takes the guesswork out.
Perfect! I’ll try it tomorrow
Using the palette - just brilliant!
I have the P2 Pro. I have got to try it this weekend! Thank you! Awesome work you do!
Love your vids Thomas. Thanks for everything. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the update, I'd love to see your idea for colored lithophanes on stock 3D printers someday!!!
I have been pretty excited for this! Lithophanes make great gifts and this is a good use of my Prusa i3 MK3S MMU2S!
My 3d printing class just discovered this.. I also just bought a palette 2.... I need this in my life
Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing with everyone. I am looking at trying this with my new Bambu X1C Carbon with AMS. Ordering filliment now
You are incredible and I am velours and inspired by your talent and intellect. I love 3D printing but it is my nemesis and sometimes incredibly frustrating.
Right now I am 17 hours into a 43 hr multipart model print on my Prusa.
This is great video and process
Outstanding
Yes on the standard printer color instructions. Just ordered a ender 3.
I would love to see how this could be done on a stock, single color, printer.
It isn't hard at all. It just takes patience, as you have to pause between colour changes, let the head cool down, then heat it back up enough to do an 'atomic pull', followed by inserting the next colour. I've done multi-colour prints directly onto fabric with my i3 clone, and it works quite well.
@@KeithOlson Can you do a detail video on this it will help lot of us
@@donjayamaha6174 Someone already made a video on how to do it over a year ago. th-cam.com/video/KV2AjyowXX4/w-d-xo.html
Would also love to see this done on a single filament printer like the Ender 3. I feel the video will be very helpful. This is awesome.
@@KeithOlson i use prusaslicer with an ender 5 + you just have to tell it that you have 4 nozzles and single extruder. works well
Seriously so cool!!!
I have the new Bambu Lab X1 with AMS looking forward to creating a color lithophane with it. Thanks for the video.
Phenomenal vid! Please make more like these!!
Thanks bud
It would be awesome to see number 1 and 2!!
Thank you!
Giving me a reason to finally setup my MMU for my Prusa i3 MK3S
Awesome!! Thank YOU...
I would like to see it be able to print multiple thin layers in colour, so you can have colour mixing. Also, the ability to state which filaments using the RAL/Pantone/etc. colour systems would be the best match would be handy.
Love it
Excellent!!! :)
I print with serial printers (Ender) making filament change, even in the same layer.
It would be very interesting to see how that would be optimized in a series with double color like the Geeetech A10M / A20M, etc.
Thank you for sharing and many Successes !!!
I would love it
Same. I want to be able to do this on a stock printer. Thanks
I will do this on my MMU 2 thanks for this. I will share when done.
Be sure to post the result somewhere!
very interested in future updates :)
someone did this in different method
he used a color print out in an ohp sheet and put it on the back of his lithophane
but your work is dope
plse do different shapes
Great work 👍👍👍 hope you can find a way to make this possible on a stock single colour 3d printer.
this thing here will probably take off a lot more once the multi tool head Prusa XL starts shipping.
i will absolutely try this out on mine when i get it.
I am totally down for some info so you cam print a color lithophane with a stock 3D printer (I have an Anet A8 ). I've been looking to upgrade to a multi-color printer using a regular inkjet technology, but the market hasn't fully jumped on board (but progressing nicely) for low cost multi color 3d printing. I love your site and my friends due to since they are the ones getting the free stuff as I work on mastering the technique. So any development on multi color 3d printed lithophanes is what I would LOVE to see. Thank you so much for all the work you have done...
Also, I plan on testing the water on translucent filament, glow in the dark filament, and if there are any differences with ABS, PLA, & PETG lithophanes....
PLEASE! would love to be able to do this on a stock printer.
Would be really interested in being able to print this with a stock single filament printer
Dude, that's awesome. My only suggestion is, make it so you can choose how many colors you want. Like only 2 colors instead of 4
A little more info on how you combine the stls in the cad software would be awesome.
Good job :-)
Love it! I used your website all the time for Liths. Can already see what you are planning for single nozzle stock system but I won't give it away.
I don't know, maybe your idea is different and better than mine. I wouldn't mind hearing it
@@LithophaneMaker this made me think of using the multicolor technique from Devin at MakeAnything. I havent looked too much in depth at the STLs that are generated but it seems like a possibility. Here's the video th-cam.com/video/KV2AjyowXX4/w-d-xo.html
I'm attempting to make this work via Resin printers.
Please upload an example for a normal printer. Like the Ender 3. That would be amazing!
I can't afford the pallette 2 right now so it would be interesting to see a colored lithophane on a stock printer. Thanks keep up the great work. Brian
I agree I simply cannot afford the pallette 2 rip me
@@michaelkania4331 Just print on transparent foil on your regular ink/laser printer and snap it on the back lol, should work.
PLEASE MAKE a vid over using a stock 3d printer to make a colored lithophane!!
this looks like the one from MRRF on 3dpn's channel its cool! Im suprised people didnt think of it sooner its literally the same process as a household printer uses or magazine etc just layering colors :D
Jason Preuss (who helped tremendously with this) is actually the person from MRRF, so yes it is very similar :)
can you do a video for the bambu slicer
Can you do a video on color on a normal 3D printer this will help a lot of us
I would to print these on a stock printer. Would you print each color layer separately and stack them together? Would you have to print a white layer to start each color layer? Would you have to add pauses in the gcode and determine which color to change to? Jason mentioned 16 color changes, would that be one for each color on each color layer? I think I could get a working color litho from these questions or am I missing some components of the process? Maybe I should just save up for a Palette 2... lol
could u do the same with just printing the color section out on a actual ink jet printer on to paper an then lay that behind the lithophane, just a thought for those who dont have a palette 2.
Any chance you could create a palate for the Bambu Labs CMYK kit filaments to the color lithophane maker? The videos I've seen recommend using the 1st palate option, but I haven't had very good luck with that on several images. The Printed Solid is closer but still not quite right either.
As someone else stated...I would love to be able to have an "offline" version of the Color Lithophane maker. I be willing to pay for it (but not a subscription). It could be as simple as a copy of the website files that drive that section where I could create a local webserver...or a standalone app would be fine.
Super cool 👍👍🇵🇾🇵🇾♥️
Are you able to make a computer program so I can make this at home because I don't have a continuous internet connection
is this method compatible with commercial full color 3D printers like the hp jet fusion 580 color 3d printer? Can these be paired with other printers (laser, inkjet, zink, dye sub, LightJet, CNC milling machines, etc? I'd love to see more printing and creation options added. I'm trying to get my fractals to come out right on your site but I have to ask are they supposed to look pixelated? The originals don't have any "stair stepping" in them.
Like, subscribed.
With the release of the Palette Pro 3 having 8 colors, do you have plans to make an 8 color version?
Are the CMY STLs supposed to be at Z=0 to the build plate, or do they need to be hovering above the bottom white STL's first layer?
Would it work using the Zonestar Z9M4 (4 in, 1 out) as well? That one uses STL files, one for each color, which have to be merged in the slicer (Cura with Zonestar supplied add-on).
I've been trying to experiment with colored lithophanes for a while now. I've recently discovered if you print a flipped image on adhesive backed translucent paper, you can stick the photo to the back of the litho, and the colors will shine through. Going to make a post about it on r/3dprinting soon
Any results?
@@freddysanchez2227 yes! This works. Ive found translucent, adhesive backed photo paper. Search for "Graphix clear adhesive backed inkjet photo paper" on amazon.
Print the litho on your 3d printer, then print the same image (flipped), the same size, onto that paper with an inkjet printer. Peel off the adhesive backing, and stick to the backside of your litho. Will look like plain plastic without a light, and when the light is turned on you can clearly see the color image. Really cool effect.

This is my reddit post showing a cube I made using this method
@@jaycupp1878 i cant print the picture the size of my lithophane, ive asked in many groups
Could you have three layers, red blue and green?
which slicer program is the right one for the lithopane?
could you print the same pic in 3 different colors? i saw it on a game boy camera turned color by turning the pic into red blue and yellow they combined them to make color
I have a 350 Snapmaker , crs10 pro, voxelab pro any of theses work or do I need to get another to work withMosaic
the amazon links so product no longer available except the hatchbox yellow.
I can't find that particular brand of magneta, it says it's currently unavailable in Amazon. Do you have any other alternatives?
It would be interesting to see a four color lithophane lamp shade (barrel) using the M3D Quad Crane that I have. I would think that using the 4 color printer it would be possible to print the lithophane vertically.
How do you tell the quad the colors to print?
Does it use something other than an stl?
Will there be an option to make them round?
Awesome!!! Tutorial also for MMU2S useres would be great! Will the possibility to use 5 colors improve the color range? If yes, which colors are recommended for MMU2S?
5 colors would certainly improve the color range, but I don't have an MMU :( I can help you develop a palette if you're interested.
I really think lot of MMU2S users would be interested. But i think it makes only sense if the color range would benefit significant, otherwise it will only increase the price for required filament rolls. Colorfabb offers also "color on demand" which could be useful to have optimized source color? You could ask them if they are interested to offer "color lithophane kit" with 4 or 5 rolls of filament. Just as an idea so solve the egg/chicken problem and push your great project. ;-)
One more comment to avoid misunderstanding. The MMU2 supports 5 filaments which would mean than we could use 4 colors plus white filament. Most of the ink printers use 3 colors to mix the color palette. So i guess 3 colors plus white is already very good starting point. If we would go for 4+1 than adding black for contour or grey could be also good approach. WDYT?
Super super good.
Thanks from holland
Best 3printer i can buy??
Pleas tel me
For lithophanes? What is your price range?
@@LithophaneMaker
Yes cr10 v2 of sidewire x1 any cube
Pleas help me👍
I use a heavily modified cr10S. I wouldn't buy it if I were to get another. I'd probably buy an ender 5 plus.
Whee do you get the palette 2?
is it possible to print this with only one extruder?
so fucking cool
I'm getting the error "non-manifold edges" when importing the STL files into Bambu Studio on some color channels. i let the program repair the files but there is not filament use in those repaired STL files. any ideas? thank you.
How about A20T 3 colours?
What else could make this better? Leave your ideas in the comments and vote for the best ideas with a thumbs up :)
The method that I would implement to create multicolor lithophanes with a single nozzle 3D printer would be based upon Devin Montes' video that you can find below. The first layer would contain as many colors as the maker is willing to make color swaps, and then the remaining layers would be a regular white lithophane. What do you think?
th-cam.com/video/KV2AjyowXX4/w-d-xo.html
Have you thought of printing the colors on a transparency film and place it behind the printed white model?
Yes, people do that, and it works alright.
I wasn't able to see any of the Amazon links on your site using either FireFox or Chrome. I had to use Edge though I prefer not to have to. Can you check with your web-site publisher to add Chrome and/or FireFox compatibility please?
Cool idea! Some ideas to improve it:
1. Offer bitmap tracing by colour region, like Inkscape can do. This wouldn't be the best option for very complicated images, but would offer better resolution and simpler printing for less complicated images.
2. Allow clients to upload images of calibration prints. The prints just need to have steps that go from 0.05(?)mm to 2.0mm(?) and the pictures should be taken on a piece of white paper that is lit from the back. That would provide both colour *and* transparency data. If the client provided images from all of their filament, then the image can be simplified using those and the necessary filament ID's returned with the lithophane. This would help ensure that the colours of the lithophane match the original image as accurately as possible.
3. Offer colour mixing with stacking STL's. As this would *highly* depend on the properties of the filament that the client is using, they would need to supply calibration images to pull both colour and transparency data from. As the height of every layer is determined when the lithophane is being created, I'm pretty sure that generating a small blob at 0mm(Z) off to the side and the rest of the STL at the desired height would allow slicers to play nice.
4. Support RAL/Pantone/etc. colour systems and filaments that use them--with (affiliate?) links. This will ensure the greatest colour accuracy.
5. Start a service to print them. As it has been proven that it is entirely possible to print with 64(!) difference colours (th-cam.com/video/e051w27k6W0/w-d-xo.html), if you used one of the 3d printers with a belt bed, you could churn them out 24/7, only needing to pause printing to change spools. (You don't need to start with 64, of course! Four is good enough to start, as you proved, and adding a second Palette would bring the total number available up to 7, which should be enough for most images if colour mixing is used.)
Does that make sense?
Wow you are at it again:D This is too smart. However I am sure it should not be too hard to implement color lithophanes with a stock 3D printer. A carefully made gcode which pauses for filament change can be managed imho. The colors are all in same layer right? and also do the colors take up only one layer? if thats the case we will only change filament 4 times manually. If it takes more than 1 layer for the colors to show up nicely we can alter the gcode to use adaptive layer heights and we can make white portion's layer height very low(precise) and the bottom color layer height to be very high so that the colors show up and we don't need to do multiple sets of filament change. What do you think about this? Also I have sent you an email a while ago about a request for lamp shades which are not cylindrical but conical just like the real ones. Is there any updates on that? thanks for the great work. PS. if you will support stock printers, there is no need to limit the color palette by 4. just a reminder:)
You can do a lot of amazing things with smart slicing. Make some colored lithophane stls and maybe you can figure out how to print one with few filament swaps
If your printer has auto unload and load capabilities, all you need to do in the slicer assign the different colors to different tools (extruders). And then for the toolchange gcode enter in a message to tell you which tool (color) to switch to and a filament change code. (For my Prusa MK3 that is M600 for the filament change, I forget the message code off the top of my head... M117 or M115, or something similar.) Start the print and either pull out a book or pull up your desired streaming service. When the printer beeps, look up from your book/video and manually change the filament. I've sucessfully done this for 2 color prints, but 4 color prints should be easy enough, just tedious.
Hey Thomas. Have you had any experience with the prusa mk3s mmu2s upgrade? If so, whats your opinion of it compared to the Pallete 2?
I do not, but I see many people with a mk3s who tried and MMU and ending up buying a Palette
@@LithophaneMaker Thanks for the reply. I have the mk3s and have been mulling over multi material options for some time. Haven't gotten anything yet as the technology still seems very experimental and unreliable. I'll be keeping my eye on the pallete 2 from now on
what type of infill would be used on this type of print? I am trying to print with the Prusa MMU2s
in the video, you can see a setting of 100% rectilinerar
Do you think that this could be done with a ink transfer paper instead of multiple extrusion ?
Yes, it could be. I made this tool because I think that eventually multicolor 3D printing will drop in price significantly and become fairly common. For example, the MMU by Prusa has 2 motors, a lead screw and some extruder gears, so I expect it could be below $100 in the future. Hopefully they can figure out how to make it work well.
@@LithophaneMaker It's getting to be reliable. I haven't used mine recently (too busy with other things) but I got it to the point where I could depend on it. One subtlety that I don't see others talking about is that the PLA has to be super-dry. Cooking the spools in a 50C oven for a couple of hours before printing seems to do the trick. It ensures that the tips of the filament, when they are pulled from the hot zone, are non-stringy. And stringyness really messes up the MMU2s -- throws its sensing of where the tip is, and that's before the strings break off entirely and really mess things up. No strings -> reliable if everything else is just right.
there is an issue with your site brother
that is when i log in and make a flat litho the drop box [where the frames,holes,stands]doesent appear
I just tried it and saw those options. Can you try a different browser or delete your cache and try again?
@@LithophaneMaker ok i will try that
@@LithophaneMaker its not working
How would that be possible on a stock CR-10S with just one extruder? If you make it work I will love to pay you everytime I print a color picture
It will require more time out from the user but it's possible
What do you mean by 13% increase of filament usage for the waste tower?Isn't it more like 130%?
No, the waste tower was 10 g and the lithophane was 77 g. The presence of the waste tower caused 13% more filament usage than if there had been no waste tower
Please allow us to print using a "stock" printer. I wouldn't mind changing filaments manually. I'm still waiting for my ankermake v6 to ship out.
Check out my latest video on chromaphanes. They may be just what you're looking for.
Škoda že vám to ještě nefunguje, vytvoří to zip kde je txt soubor a nic víc.
I thought I would drop you a note. I saw Jason Preuss at ERRF 2019 and he pointed me to your site for color lithophanes. I'm excited to start using it to be able to add color to my lithophanes. I use a Prusa I3 MK3S, but don't have a Pallete nor the Prusa MMU2 so I'll be manually changing filaments. (Going to have to bring a book to pass the time between filament changes...).
My idea:
Would it be possible for users to create thier own custom pallets to be able to use their preferred filaments? The end user could use a color senser (like a TCS34725 like AdaFruit has here www.adafruit.com/product/1334 or here www.adafruit.com/product/1356 ) and then import to your tool the RGB colors found for each of the 4 filaments. Obviously some sort of advice for choosing filaments would be needed.
I'm sorry sir......But are we just going to breeze past the fact that you printer that flat on the bed........??????? That and With all that detail.......
