Film: Pirates of the Caribbean Print Time: 21 Hours Min/Max .6 - 2.8 Layers: 1.2 Speed: 45 mm/sec Tools: Printer: Ender 5 Filament: #Esun Cool White PLA+ Lithophane Profile courtesy of Mark Gonsowski: https://www.gameon3d.com/downloads-links Lithophane Helper: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2718124 Slicer: Cura 4.4.1 Image Source: Bing Image Search Photoshop for image sizing and color work Lithophane Creator: https://tool.itslitho.com/#/CreateModel Settings: In photos I design all my Lithophanes to fit custom frames. Dimensions are 126.5mm x 177mm DON'T RESIZE LITHOPHANES IN YOUR SLICER! If you want a different size, it's best to resize the B&W image, then create a new STL at lithophanemaker.com or https://tool.itslitho.com You can use the same settings as I did, just tweaking for size. Also, different filaments have varying transparency. These settings worked well for Esun Cool White PLA+ Min .6 Max 2.8 This one was created with https://itslitho.com/ Settings in the pictures. I used Mark Gonsowski's Lithophane Profile It is included in this download package. The only things you may need to change are Retraction settings and sprint speed. I also changed to 1.2mm layers vs 1.0 Cura 4.4.1 Printed on my Ender 5 My Print time was 21 Hours @ 45mm/sec I mounted mine in a custom lithophane box and lit using 3 LED bars Here's a timelapse video of it printing https://youtu.be/fPc9kbcqYbQ *Information from Mark about his lithophane profile* If you're using both my night light profile and Thomas Brooks Lithophanemaker to generate a night light STL, you'll need to add bottom layers only if you increase the "adapter thickness" to a value greater than the default value of 1.8 mm. If you increase the thickness from 1.8 to 2.0 for example, you'd need to add another 2 bottom layers if your using a layer height of .1 Some other Cura settings you may need to change depending on what filament you're using and printer setup/calibration would be your temps, retraction speed/distance, and flow.
