prusaprinters

<p>A Lithophane in the size of 110 x 110 mm depicting the <strong>Carina Nebula</strong> that was captured with the <strong>James Webb Telescope</strong>. The Image of the Carina Nebula is framed in a hexagon grid resembling the James Webb Telescope.</p><p>It consists of two parts and is a very easy and relatively fast print. It can be put on a desk with a light source behind to illuminate the Lithophane.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Instruction</h4><ol><li>Download the Lithophane and the Grid.<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Load the Lithophane in your prefered slicer.<br>&nbsp;</li><li>In your slicer: align the Lithophane model with the <strong>Y-Axis</strong><br><br><img class="image_resized" style="width:75%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/242509/rich_content/02e5d530-e3c5-426d-8455-449d0ceb3c0b/prusa-slicer_ylanfnqbhj.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%227e4f4c10-2723-4948-99af-cb96d9ecfd58%22%2C%22w%22%3A1028%2C%22h%22%3A644%7D"><br><br>this ensures minimal movement of your printer head which moves along the X-Axis, causing less vibration and resulting in a cleaner print and faster print time.<br>&nbsp;</li><li>In your slicer: add four modifier blocks for the supports and enable “<strong>For support enforcer only</strong>” (s. image above).<br><br><strong>optional</strong>: activate a brim in case you have doubts with your bed adhesion<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Slice and print your Lithophane<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Print the Grid seperately<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Assemble the Lithophane and the Grid, depending on your printer some post-processing might be necessary to align them porperly. If everything fits you can glue the two parts together.</li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Specifications</h4><p>The Lithophane has the following dimension</p><ul><li>Length: 108.6 mm</li><li>Width: 100.1 mm</li><li>Depth: 5.6 mm</li></ul><p>and the base holding the Lithophane upright has a dimension of</p><ul><li>Length: 34 mm</li><li>Width: 25 mm</li><li>Thickness: 3 mm</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Print Settings</h4><ul><li>Infill: 15-20% Gyroid</li><li>Perimeters: 2-3</li><li>Layer height: 0.20mm (you can do 0.10 - 0.15 for more details if you want)</li><li>Supports: on enforcer only</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Inspiration</h4><p>The Lithophane is directly inspired by the James Webb Telescope and its captured image of the Carina Nebula.&nbsp;<br><br>The Carina Nebula is a complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is approximately 8,500 light-years from Earth (Source: Wiki).<br><br>Reference Image (Source: NASA)<br><br><img class="image_resized" style="width:50%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/242509/rich_content/846a69fe-5d20-49c8-8576-10fa6076eb42/james_webb_v1-carina-nebula-preview.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22f7281cc2-d9de-4cbf-ae29-0b17a2767d70%22%2C%22w%22%3A512%2C%22h%22%3A512%7D"></p>
