i had few meters of translucent PLA filament left… what would be the best project for this? Ah! let’s make lithophanes. a profile pic from Tonko House twitter page looks good… my fan art creation continues.
10cmx10cm and 1.2mm thickness. Very thin but picks up paper wrinkle details from the original picture in printing. tiny bumps that creates shading variants were picked up by 3DCoat’s importing image as geometry feature. It’s a normal quality printing soup so it could be smoother but I kinda like the linen-like fiber look for this. 3DCoat -> Meshmixer -> Cura
for the hand painted 10cmx10cm version, i experimented with little more thickened outlines and run a simple extrusion for pronounced printed outlines and 3mm depth.
