How to make a picture:
(Click here for Instruction video how to make the picture)
- Print one of the picture board designs
(Note: The picture board are designed to be used with 1.75mm diameter filament) - Insert pieces of filament in each of the holes then cut the excess filament above the surface of the picture board
- You and place the picture board over a picture or your phone/tablet to copy a design you like
How to lock the picture in place:
- Preheat an oven to 200degree centigrade
- Place the picture maker board on a flat oven tray and place it in the oven
- Wait for the picture board to soften and turn slightly shiny. You will know when the picture is ready as the ends of the filament in the hole will become slightly rounded
(Note: I have found this take roughly 5 minutes but depending on the filament you use the time will vary slightly) - Finally, remove the picture from the oven and leave it to cool.
