[@tirthpatel316]

Hi there I was just wondering what jpg or png file did you use for the coca cola graphics like the label and on yours it just wraps around which is cool If you could please send the link to that image Thanks

[@3DPrintFarm]

Hey Tirth! If you do a Google image search on "Coke Can Label", top line, 4th image to the right! That's the image I used!.

[@Shinthaw]

This looks awesome, I am definitely trying this!!

[@MichaelR1975]

Nice Tutorial thanks! for some reason once I slice it causes holes in the model.

[@mejiamejiaoreficeria7213]

Something gorgeous!!! Have you ever tried gray resin for lithophanes ? What do you think?

[@3DPrintFarm]

Yes!! I used gray Siraya Tech Fast for mine! It works GREAT!

[@mejiamejiaoreficeria7213]

Cool... o gonna a try... thanks a lot...

[@dwayneking773]

when i import the can , it sits horizontal along the Y axis , how do i get the can to stand vertical along the Z ?

[@capokilla]

Hi ive been trying this for ages but just cant seem to get it wrapped around like you have. I have been using the same settings as you but no luck. Any tips please? Also when i set model sizes, the others change too so i cant set x and y to 379 :( please help!

[@THEOGGUNSHOW]

Same here. I had to invert my image and change it to the show on the -Y axis.

[@MichaelR1975]

I couldn't at first either I think its the scale of the image scaling the coke can up fixed the issue for me

[@b23norris]

I load the can and it sits along the Y axis, how to I change the can to have the top and bottom along the Z axis?

Very interesting. I will definitely have a go at this. Thanks. With regard to a live session, I can't stand them, it can be like watching paint dry unless it is done well. I prefer submitted questions which are then answered. Less fluff and more info.

[@3DPrintFarm]

Thanks Paul for your feedback! You are exactly right. If I did one, it would be 'lively'.. competition, games.. giveaways perhaps...hmmm.

[@robertsneed3171]

Hi I have been following you for some time. When I try to bring the can in it is sitting on it's side. Could you explain how to make it standing?

[@metallicaandchimaira]

I designed a 3d printer pot and I want the lithophane to wrap around the outside but for some reason it wraps around the inside also. Is there a way to change that?

[@miccr2655]

What is the best 3d printer for lithos ?

Great Awesome Video! what LED Bases did you use for Lightning?

[@3DPrintFarm]

Hey Daniel! I placed a link in the description to the base I got from Amazon! Thanks!

[@richarnaud7794]

I figured it out..The can file came in on the wrong axis..i had to change my x,y,z to match your values..my xyz wasnt the same as yours for some reason it came in on different axis..my "Y" was actually my "Z" if that makes sense..i was just frustrated..appreciate your videos!! thanks

[@b23norris]

How did you change it? Mine is doing the same thing.

Any photo, no need to only use black and white.

Hey 3DPrintFarm ... great video - really enjoy you stuff. What screen capture software do you use?

[@EndDayz]

Any other apps or cloud based websites ?

[@2bagsOfChips2k2]

great video gets me so close to my goal ( putting a scary face on a pumpkin print) but the software seems to have no way to control where your image is positioned on the object. (in this case I need the picture to line up with the front face of the pumpkin) has anyone figured out a way to do this?

[@kevinjones6924]

Hey Garrett, great video! Thanks! You mentioned that you use Chitubox for slicing, what version are you using and have you run into any problems with it? I installed it but it won't load, tried 64bit and 32bit, don't get it.

My aluminum can came into Luban upside down and I can't get it to rotate.

[@ekkus93]

How much did it cost you for the resin for the coke can? How expensive was it? I definitely want to try it. I've done lithophanes with PLA but SLA sounds much cooler.

[@3DPrintFarm]

The resin I used for the Coke can was Siryatech FAST Gray! Thanks for asking!

[@JRT3D]

GREAT Tutorial - I wonder...I'd like to speak more to you about your ability to promote LuBan Tutorials. How's the best method to talk?

[@miccr2655]

Can you do a 3d figure lithophane like of a character

[@Rejoice1631]

I have a Question about the Resolution setting. It started at 10, then you went to 2. That surprised me, because I would have thought that the values would have been 10, out of 100, say. And, I can understand why it is defaulted to something very low res, bc the program could crash, or at the very least, be VERY bogged down at start up. I just figured that you would go up, and not down. I am curious to know what the Max Res setting would be then, please? .... /boggled

[@peterjarvie12]

would love to see a live stream

[@richarnaud7794]

Hey Print Farm guy..Can you help me? My head is gonna explode..I follow your tutorial exactly..and still the model wont print..what i dont get is that i have min set to 1mm and max 5mm..mine looks exactly like yours..i bring it into chitubox and it looks fine..tried different settings..tried vroom, tried a raft, no raft..slow lift speeds supported just like yours..still fails everytime..so i bring the model into prusa slicer cause i was gonna just fdm print it..then i see when i slice it, its not solid..the walls have breakthrough spots all over it..no wonder it wouldnt print..so why when min thickness is set to 1mm is it breaking through but you dont see that in Luban or chitubox?..model looks fine..the only other thing i dont get is my model comes in with the top and bottom along the y axis..not the z like it should be..i even set my axis before i bring in model and it still does it..I honestly dont think people will have success printing this..my wall thickness looked like 1mm not 5mm anywhere..what is up w that? .its not even close to that anywhere..its like 1mm and less everywhere..ill show you pics of my fails..the supports print but the model fails a few inches up and the walls basically fail..i thought it was my Vroom settings..so i didnt do that and even printed it 70,70,70.. .05 hgt, bottom layer 4, exposre time2.8, bottom exposure 20-30, transition layer 10, 7mm lift distance, 70 speed i think the walls are to thin..ive printed 100's of lithopanes before..never had this problem..ive tried everything..heavy supports, you name it ive tried it..i want to know why the walls arent solid..obviously the (1mm minimum isnt working)

[@lujiechen2334]

@@jayedwin98020 for now, you can only apply a bitmap to a model to make lithophane.

[@jayedwin98020]

@@lujiechen2334: "Thank you"!

[@bigbmessiah]

@@jayedwin98020 Just to add to this though, its not so much that the original image was badly pixelated, it wasn't, its just the representation in Luban was set as a low resolution ( 10 ) this is done for manipulation purposes as what you are seeing in the model isnt actually the image, but the 3d representation of the lithophane of the image, and a higher resolution makes it more processor intensive to manipulate. The pixelation goes away when the resolution is raised but the processor and memory usage becomes more intensive. In short even if you could use a vector image you would get the pixelation at the resolution of 10, as its the 3d model your viewing and not the image file itself....if that makes sense
