[@merrillalbury8214]

Got it but not used yet. Any temp advice.

[@jimloobey9335]

How do I add 2 images to this Lithophane globe? I would Like them opposite of each other.. Is this something you will add to the Lithophane maker website?

[@Hymanator]

This is very cool. I was able to align a 360 photo to this. Just had to align the photo so that the bottom was cropped off. Can't wait to print it!

[@getrail3d994]

Love your work and what your doing man! Your website is definately under appreciated, such a powerful tool, keep up the good work!

[@jfgass83]

I totally bought that same lamp base for a birthday litho project I just made. I'll post it to FB after the party. Thanks for making such a great tool

[@yogeshkumarsharma9091]

i love this guy... thank you so much for providing these tools for free...

[@briandicinti9535]

Awesome! Thanks for making this program available!! Just made my first one. Have you thought about bringing the preview feature back to the program? I had to send about 20 STLs to myself to get the settings right trying to figure out and understand what different settings do. Thanks again!

[@kyleeaton1709]

Oh man I totally agree! I need that preview feature!

[@thorgarrettrs]

Man this is such a creative unique idea, and I love how easy you've made things with the website! You seem like a cool dude and I hope to see more! Gives me so many ideas for art using this style

[@JackCashMusic]

is the website working for you? cant seem to get any of it to work.

[@Beakerzor]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@LithophaneMaker]

Haha you're welcome. Merry Christmas!

When I select the moon background nothing happens on the print. How do I get the moon background? And there is no cad viewer anymore.

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Amazing product many thanks! Am not a 3D printing guy yet but working on it, just got an Ultimaker 2+, this is great inspiration.

[@lurraskea]

You are funny ;) Thank you for the app!

Thank you! 😃

hola esta genial... lo suyo hubiera sido con rosca y una base para roscar... pero genial gracias

Hi, I have now stl file from your website, but please share Cura Settings all parameters figures, what i should to set, like print speed, fill density, layer thickness and all things i need to know from you to match Exact quality of moon, please share it, thanks a lot brother....

[@devanshuagarwal2983]

thank u very much for making it open source!

[@maurice0822]

Awesome work. I don't see a designer view when I'm on the site. Did you remove that?

[@jamezwhite]

As I look at this, it seems that the inside of the sphere is completely smooth. Because the lithophane is essentially just a thickness mask, and thicker parts let less light out, have you considered inverting the process? That is, having the bump map applied to the inside of the sphere rather than the outside. This would give the outward appearance of a completely smooth sphere when the lamp is off, but when the lamp is lit the image would appear.

[@LithophaneMaker]

Yes, that's on my to-do list. You have to use darker filament to make the lithophane thinner or refraction blurs the image, but it is possible

[@jimsmith9803]

@@LithophaneMaker I've seen discussions on this and the consensus is that putting the bumps on the inside makes for a fuzzier picture.

I’m having issues with mine saving at a compressed (zipped) am I doing something wrong?

LOL ASTLEY, I thought I was going to become a pro dancer! Great vids keep them coming

[@user-yl2lt8rq8w]

hi love the globe option! I tried a few tests, is it possible to get the litho image on the 'inside of the globe' leaving a smooth outer finish? (so the image appears when light is turned on)

[@dalewhitmore143]

Where is the cad model gone? Im trying to add a cut out of a picture and finding it hard not to get a big square around it.

[@Wendym0906]

how do you get design viewer to show? Also, what should the image dimensions be set to before uploading? thanks@

[@ricksideroff4204]

what diameter do you use for Chrismas bulbs, what size outter diameter do you use. Basically , what settings do I use???

[@militech9]

Is there a way to bring in an image with a transparent background, use the moon surface option, and not have a blank background around the image? I see people placing the picture over a moon texture and then bringing that image into the software as a work around. Thanks.

[@LithophaneMaker]

You can do that in lithophane maker desktop that's available at AmericanFilament.us

[@militech9]

@@LithophaneMaker Awesome!! Thank you for replying. That will be super convenient.

[@jf6720]

This would be really cool as a world globe.

[@AnirbanSur]

I cannot find the 3d representation in the wesite. is it changed? it is showing just an image.

[@YanaTech]

You could also show your printing process - a short time-lapse of the print, and what translucent PLA you used for it- for the fullest experience ;) Would be so interesting to see! Keep up the great work!

[@anthonyridley7562]

Standalone would be amazing!!

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

how to I get the transparent background? I imputed my intransparent photo but it still show with a smooth box texture on the generated stl Help?

[@jbrondos]

If I wanted the image to appear on the TOP of the globe, would I set the picture angular HEIGHT at 180 and the picture angular width at 0?

[@667Gurba]

This is really cool but I wish it had the opportunity to make a threaded cylinder. for a screw-in base.

[@awdhootkanawade]

The work you are doing is just amazing😍😍

[@LithophaneMaker]

Thanks!

Hello, i want to make a file but i dont´t see the design viewer, how can i fix that?

[@meignanamoorthy5329]

While inserting picture in moon shape box appear around the image (ex: like frame).can you tell how to avoid ......

[@guyrandom6151]

my slicer wants to fill the inside with support should i ignore it

[@timwrobel6230]

Love to support through Amazon purchasing. Ordered my filament thru your link, but I prefer using smart bulbs for voice control. Therefore, I'm officially requesting links for smart bulbs like you have for the filament and regular bulbs. Thanks for the great stuff!

Dang, he really rickrolled us with the best dance vid in the description.

yo don't give away my secrets

[@yrrho0190]

thank you so much!

[@akaiphone]

How can I make the bottom part of the sphere print smooth? I posted my question on the FB group with pictures. Where the model touches the bed, I get crazy lines because lack of support. I tried with support and it’s the same. I’m printing with Creality K1. 0.12 layer height, 45mms, no support.

[@bautistacussinicolao1189]

I have a problem, when I upload a png (transpaerent) file the stl ends up as if it was a jpg file with a white background so I can’t see the moon, do you know why might that be?

[@sushmonitor3863]

Have the same issue... Transparent picture doesn't get filled with the moon surface.. would love it if the picture seamlessly blended into the moon surface.. BTW Awesome job creating this tool!! Thanks Much!!

[@Pyromancers]

Any way to have transparency on inserted pics so the harsh rectangular edge of photos can be hidden by using an edited png or something? Good work so far.

[@cliffwattigny2328]

I was wondering the same thing. did you ever figure it out?

[@Pyromancers]

I did it in Luban instead and got it figured out there. This is really promising, but for me needs just a little more polish to get it over the finish line. @@cliffwattigny2328

[@cliffwattigny2328]

I did see one on Creality cloud that was free and would do the image without any edges, I just didn't like the design all that much

[@redogg2749]

Just trying my first one now, what happened to the Live Viewer on the website, it doesn't work anymore.

[@DaTKoJi]

you hitted slice, told the time it would take... and then you caught my attention at the weight xD my brain directly thinking "what kind of CR10 does he have that he can make a 190 KILO-gramm lithopane moon :D not trying to be a grammar-nazi, just wanted to tell you that you made me giggle at that moment xD

[@3D_dreams]

lots of love from Mumbai..........

[@forureyesonly]

Is there one to create something like a cone. I want to create something like an ice scream cone with the pointy end cut out. Even better if the shape can be uploaded via an stl or 3d model of some sort.

[@jeremydelorme4252]

What is the thickness of the sphere without the moon? I'm trying to blend the edges of my photo and I've tried pretty much everything

[@Redspark77]

how do you deal with the 90 degree overhangs

[@heartminer5487]

Would be great if you could make this compatible with PNG images with transparency!

Should it look like a smooth orb in cura? Just tried it can see the picture but it's smooth other then that.

LOVE your program and really appreciate it. I hope someone on here can help me with one issue. I'm using a resin printer (mars 2 pro) to print up the nightlights, but I keep getting a rough looking bottom. I would use my X1 but i've got a layer shift issue i'm still trying to chase down... I added lots of supports, thickened them etc...

[@Cloud80601]

So i tried to make one on the site and there was no CAD model window and i put in a pic and set it the way u did and hit the make stl. file and it game me a word document not a STL. file. Why is that?

[@LithophaneMaker]

That probably means that you need to open your picture in an image editor and save it out as a different file type (jpg or png) even if it's already jpg or png. This will ensure that the jpg or png follows the standard format

[@merrillalbury8214]

Do you have an earth globe file?

You can do that by editing the photos together before using LM. You can find the moon background picture on the internet and put the other pictures on it. Eventually, I will make this possible through LM

[@LithophaneMaker]

I don't use supports and I know others have had success without support as well

[@beedubya1031]

Great site & effort by you for this! I can't seem to be able to print this without supports and I know that others have. When I review the slicing I can see the unsupported areas that wind up becoming blobs because of that. Is there a better orientation or something that can be changed to print with no supports? Using Prusa Slicer.

[@LithophaneMaker]

You can decrease the overhang there by reducing the sphere's diameter, or increasing the cylinder diameter, or you can adjust your slicer settings to do better with overhangs by increasing cooling or printing slower among other things.

[@SolanaChris]

Preferred Cura Settings? I promise to buy my bases from you just like I do my nightlghts!

[@DavidLee3d]

design schematic will help a lot design updation is so slow

[@kay3dlabs668]

Tried it on the website but for some reasons, the update button doesn't quite work - it does't render an updated STL preview. Also, would it be possible to have a larger image that circles around the globe? for example, baby image 1, 2 & 3 'wrapping' around the moon. In the current set up, only 1 image can be done ~

[@LithophaneMaker]

I'm going to fix the user interface to the sphere lithophane very soon (maybe a week). To get more pictures together, you can use an editor for now
