How Was This Color Picture 3D Printed?

I can 3D print your own lithophane: www.rclifeonst...
It's called a lithophane! Usually they are black and white, but with this little trick you can make the picture colorized. Also, subscribe to make my day a little better: / rclifeonsimon

I got good results with printing the colour image onto transparent self adhesive vinyl and sticking it to the back of the lithophane 👍✌️

[@ConsultingjoeOnline]

Nice idea

[@joshallred9330]

Nice! Do you have a link to the product you're using? I'm curious to give it a try as well.

[@killochwtf2123]

Too complicated as to me. Pva and thin paper worked great and easy to find

[@EdwardDowner]

I was going to mention this as well. Any clear "paper" will be good, like overhead projector sheets, transparency film. Hmmm, I wonder if t-shirt transfer paper would work...

[@patrickchristie82]

Man. You put this out there, blew everyone’s mind, you printed the world, then you added colour! Way to take an idea and keep stepping up your game! A tech question. Have you ever had lines in your lithophanes that look like the walls are missing? Seemingly random and very thin and weak. Thanks!

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

That is really something else, it really pops a lithophane out of its shell, I love Lithophanes, they have been around for so long now , almost as early at the late 1700's but came to fame in the early part of the 1800's when it was produced on pottery, its similar to stereo photography in which it producers a 3 dimensional image , of which I am a avid follower and producer. Its a superb way of viewing what is afterall a photograph and in this world of digital photography its an excellent medium to show off your best work on now that we hardly print anything. Thanks for showing this method. It really is a nice alternative to normal Lithophanes..

[@avejst]

[@chrisf.8177]

Great thing or idea! 😁👍Test it now. Speaking of which: I'm trying it out, instead of working with toxic spray glue, apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the board. I then glue the printed paper onto it. Actually works quite well. The adhesive moisture is still somewhat problematic.

[@nxturedzntm7940]

Thanks for your idea! Does it work so far?

[@chrisf.8177]

@@nxturedzntm7940 Thank you!☺👍 Actually already. Unfortunately, I first tried cheap wood glue. Unfortunately it was so watered down that the printed paper became wavy and it did not stick properly. Long drying time. Then I tried it with good Ponal wood glue (known?). Spread thinly on the plastic. That worked out wonderfully. (Sometimes I used that as a coating for self-designed and printed flyers).

[@nxturedzntm7940]

@@chrisf.8177 Thanks for your quick answer! I understand, thank you for sharing your experience! Of course I know this Ponal Glue. :) But I would only be afraid that less light would be transmitted through the litophane because of this Ponal Glue. Is it really impossible to see the glued areas from the front? By the way: Do u speak German? :)

I may have an idea. Print litophane 3 times but every one in diffrent color (filter by CMYK). That way, when You stack them - they will work opposite to color filters and maybe turn full color litophane. You think it may work?

You need to make up 9 at the exactly the same size (different motif) and then mount them on the wall with light strip behind and some electronic that light them up in different patterns - think that would be cool.

If you could print the lithophane with a smooth back using a high temperature filament, e.g Nylon, you could then print the color image on a piece of transfer paper, and iron it directly on the back of the lithophane.

In fact the inkjet now thinks my ink is invisible. Or at least that's how it looks when it produces a blank sheet of paper 😣

[@byseven]

Awesome job.

[@woodvibecreation]

That's freaking great !! So cool that we can get color on lithophane too now. Do you use just à stadard piece of paper to print the picture or is it a sort of semi see-through paper that letthe light go through ?

[@4giveness]

Simon, can you make a lithopane out of a more complex 3d object? For instance a house, a car, or a 3d model of your head. I've seen you can do texture displacements with blender, but might need to unrwap the mesh of the model?

LOL. He spray paints out of his window, I do it in my bathroom in the middle of winter(-30F). Lots of ventilation. Also have a uv light to dry the paint in there.
