Saint Christopher Medallion Lithophane

prusaprinters

<p>I could have just bought a St. Christopher medal for my bike - I mean, you can get one for a buck or two - but what kind of maker would I be if I did that?</p> <p>Saint Christopher, for those of you who do not know, is the Catholic patron saint of travelers.</p> <p>I tried many different styles and orientations, but I could not find a way to convert the image to a bas-relief style medallion (although over on cg-trader there is a<em>very</em>* nice model for sale for $40! yikes!) so I decided to go with a lithophane. To create this, I used the circular lithophane module on <a href="https://lithophanemaker.com">https://lithophanemaker.com</a>.</p> <p>I'm going to, somehow, stick this to the windscreen on my bike so it catches the light.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>TEVO</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Tarantula</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.1mm - 0.2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> 3D Solutech PLA <p>white</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>To get decent resolution on this small of a litho (relatively speaking) this should be printed standing up on it's edge. Doing so will require a brim - I used 21mm - to keep it upright as it prints. I don't know whether supports are actually needed or not, but just to play it safe, I used Cura's tree supports. Your mileage may vary. </p></div> </p></p> Category: Keychains
