Print Profile(7)
Bill of Materials
Description
Bring the magic of Christmas to life with this detailed 90mm lithophane sphere.
This 3D printed lithophane ball features a seamless, 360-degree winter scene including a classic church, snowy village, and Santa's sleigh flying across the moon. When unlit, it is a beautiful textured white ornament; when backlit, the image reveals incredible depth and detail.
Includes a Custom Stand: The model comes with a perfectly fitted base designed to hold the 90mm ball securely while housing a standard LED tealight candle (approx. 38mm diameter).
UPDATE: Threaded versions now available for all styles.
Key Features:
- Diameter: 90mm (perfect size for table decor or large tree ornaments).
- Theme:
- Classic Winter Village & Santa's Sleigh
- Snowman Family
- Santa's Sleigh
- The Nativity Scene
- Modular: Ball and stand are separate prints for easy storage.
- Light Source: Designed for standard LED tealights (flameless candles recommended).
Printing Instructions:
- Material: White PLA is required for the ball to ensure proper light diffusion. The stand can be printed in any color (Black, Gold, or Silver look great).
- Infill: 100% Infill is essential for the lithophane (ball) to work correctly. Do not use standard sparse infill.
- Walls: Alternatively, use 99 walls to ensure it is solid.
- Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.20mm (Lower layer height = better image resolution).
- Speed: Print slower than usual (outer walls <50mm/s) for high quality.
- Supports: Minimal supports may be needed at the very bottom of the sphere depending on your printer's overhang capabilities. Use a brim for better bed adhesion.
