Description

These are 80mm diameter spherical lithophanes lit by tealights. There are 4 scenes and two hole sizes (35.7mm and 29.6mm) for the tealights. Each one takes a little over an hour to print. STL's and .3mf included in the download as well as my print profile. If you want to make a custom hole size, it's very easy to do. Simply adjust the diameter of the negative volume cylinder on the object screen to whatever size you need for your tealights. If you load the models on the plate yourself, you will need to add your own negative volume cylinder. Right click, add negative part, size it for the diameter you want and position it at x0, y0. It should line up with the center of the base.

You may see some messages and warnings about the size of the model and floating regions. This is typical with lithophanes and you can safely ignore them.

A little angel hair stringing, my fault, too warm - otherwise 10/10, these came out really slick. Ignore the counter top coffee spill. 😁

Did not print the top

The designer has replied

@MadMax3D

Thanks for reviewing. Do you mean that it didn't print the top of the sphere at all?

@juergen.million

Yes, it was stringing and I had to stop since the layers did not attach. I used Bamboo Basic PLA with standard settings

@MadMax3D

Replying to @juergen.million :

Yeah, spherical lithophanes are tough. I'll test them with a lower layer height near the top.

@gary09

What Filament is used for these?

The designer has replied

@MadMax3D

@gary09 I used IIIDMax White PLA+, but any white should work OK. Or colors even.

too thin causes holes in print

The designer has replied

@MadMax3D

Sorry about that. Spherical lithophanes are tough. I'll try uploading a profile with lower layer heights in that area.

don't print in any dark filament. I think it would have worked better if I could have picked vase mode

The designer has replied

@MadMax3D

@Andrewjankiewicz Yeah sorry, lithophanes don't work that way. They can't be a single wall layer since the thickness of the wall generates the contrast image when the light shines through. They can't be dark color either because the light won't shine through. You can either change the color of the light, or print in pale colors. The moon in the pic is printed white but has a color changing bulb.
