Template to create your own Christmas Bauble - with personalised glowing Image
| Instructions |
1. Download template (Jpeg in Zip Attachments) and make your own design.
Keep the total image dimension unchanged (4740px x 1917px)
Remain within the Top and Bottom Markers for best image quality
Image must be upside down (rotate if required)
2. Save your new Design as Jpeg
3. Go to the Lithophane Maker Website:
https://www.lithophanemaker.com/Lithophane%20Sphere.html
4. Apply the following Lithophane Sphere Settings:
Your Design should end up a 70mm Sphere with 52mm opening at the top
Sphere Diameter - 70mm
Fit Image to Sphere - Yes
Min Thickness - 0.9mm
Max Thickness - 2.5mm
Cylinder Outer Diameter (mm) : Set to 0 (no cylinder) (UPDATE OCT23)
Top Hole - 52mm (prints upside down!)
5. Download the STL & Open the attached 3MF File as Project
The easiest way to import the new Sphere is with the “Replace STL” Function in Prusa on the sub-component "replace with Lithophane".
Replace STL : select the existing blank sphere - right click and "replace STL" with the new Lithophane Image.
Rotate: The new STL should remain central. Insert 180deg into the X or Y Axes if required.
Ground after rotation - automatically ground the sphere component using the grounding logo highlighted:
6. Print your Bauble with the following settings:
0.4 Nozzle, Max 0.2mm Layer Height
I used the variable layer height feature for the top of the dome w/o support
For consistent results reduce Nozzle Temperature 190°C & Print speed 50% to complete the top of the dome.
Superglue used to stick the 2 pieces of the base together
Enjoy!
