Well I had some delays, but I made it on time!
My first lithophane. I happy with how it came out and the lighting....

Re: Holloween
I combined a couple of my machines on this project.
The lithophane was created and printed on my 3D printer.
The tomestone was designed in Aspire and machined on my CNC.

Nice job. I like the 3D print of the lithophane.

John, your litho looks very good. I'm surprised we don't see any layer effect. Is it a FDM or SLA/ DLP printer? Can we have a close-up of the printed part?
TIA

Re: Holloween
LGM,
It's a FDM printer. I printed at .2mm layers with a .4 nozzle.
Here's the best close up I could get with my phone. Tried the magnifier on my phone, but with the white it went nuts LOL!

Re: Holloween
Looks great! How long does it take to 3d print something like this? Curious how it would compare to using cnc.

Re: Holloween
If I remember correctly it was about 20 hours. The difference between 3D printing and CNC is I don't mind leaving the 3D printer unattended.dah79 wrote:Looks great! How long does it take to 3d print something like this? Curious how it would compare to using cnc.

Re: Holloween
Thanks John. pretty good result for a FDM print. I'd never imagine making a litho with it.
Never leave a personal FDM printer unattended. They are in no way industrial machines, but much closer to toys. Toys including a heating source, combustible, and no integrated security.
That's just because you never searched "3d printer fire"…highpockets wrote:The difference between 3D printing and CNC is I don't mind leaving the 3D printer unattended.

Re: Holloween
LGM,
Thanks for the advise/warning I've taken steps to reduce the fire issues as much as I can. Feel pretty comfortable leaving it over night. Still don't plan a print for when I'm away from the house though....

Re: Holloween
Like it John, lighting is always going to be a problem either backlit or edgelit with thinner frames but if you are OK with that sort of effect then it's not really a problem
As for leaving your 3D printer unattended, if you get one of these printer enclosures it should be fine
