3D Printed Lithophane Lamp Shade - Custom DIY Design

[@RcLifeOn]

Hi, I hope you are doing great! I thought I would share a quick update with you. I'm currently working on three major videos I'm really looking forward to show you guys! A 3D printed RC airplane V2, driving on water V2 and for everyone that miss my DIY electronic videos, I'm also working on a peltier liquid cooler. Hopefully I'll receive the parts from Ebay in a week or two. Have an awesome day! /Simon

[@2__Wheels]

please make a rc 3D airplane. Das wäre cool.

[@2__Wheels]

this video was veeeery cool. You can also make a special icecube shape/ form. :)))))))))()))))9

[@carlofrezzotti8439]

The video content is awesome, the editing is awesome, you are awesome.

[@threebreak6303]

Ur one of my favorite youtubers sorry but today u made a mistake u said chack the last video up and u didn't suggest it

[@jordanletchford9139]

Hey all, if you where as confused as me and could not work out how to make the "solid cylinder" hollow, I worked it out! if you change the model to do 360 degrees and place the type onto outer curve you will get a hollow cylinder. There we go and thank you RCLifeOn for this video. love your projects keep it up

[@luisarturo3400]

WOW MAN! THAAAAAAANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@The_Real_JimmyG]

After being on the fence about buying a printer this video sold me on one. This printer to be exact.

[@pibb69173]

I just cant get over that sweet workspace.

[@harrisondelaine7719]

Thank you for making these videos about Lithophanes! I learned about them from you, and am currently printing a lithophane of my girlfriend and I on my CR-10. It's been going for 3 minutes. Fingers crossed!

[@BENBTL2000]

When my mum saw my prints I did after your first video went up she said it would look amazing as a night light! Great videos, thanks.

[@dguy-xk4fc]

Omg, this again is some cutting edge technology i was not aware this was even possible, just great man!

[@Lensman64]

Jeez, I'm only 6 years late to this party. Well better late than never. Nice prints!

[@ukg1212]

This guy has the best 3D printing skills.

[@ChunkySteveo]

Great project Simon, looks amazing! I love doing Lithophanes with my printer, it never stops amazing me to see people and photos just emerge from the plastic when you light them. Currently doing a back lit photo frame version with battery (18650) powered LEDs.... Steve

[@ravenclanx]

By far one of the neatest things you can do with a 3d printer.

[@BrownMInc]

Each video only gets better! You're becoming a favourite!

[@kevinaldcroft6291]

Fantastic these lithophane lampshades are great I can not wait to try it out. I just need to get some white PLA. Thank you for the links. Cheers.

[@jmtx.]

Damn cool! Now I need to go get some old lamps.

[@nathan1sixteen]

Have you tried putting the "picture" side on the inside so that the outside of the shade is smooth. I think it would be cool if it looked like a normal lamp shade when the light was off, but then you turn the light in and BAM and you can see the design.

[@mihaiburaciuc1288]

At 1:38, there is a gap in the back, you can fix it by going to curve and type 361 or 362 instead of 360 (it works)

[@rawestmoreland]

Can you post the lamp shade holder? I’d love to print one

[@sebastiandobrick9639]

Amazing !!! Can´t belive how great it turned out.

[@rockydotson31]

WOW you are so talented! every time i got to design something I sike myself out and get overwhelmed... and advice on a noob with 2 printers(how have i never designed anything) would be greatly appreciated...

[@mattsonmccraw6767]

I am really excited about that peltier liquid water cooler that you mentioned on your comment!

[@YMS137]

Very cool. You convinced me that I can make something useful and I have ordered my CR-10!!!

[@ohkanashii777]

Dude that looks amazing

[@craigs902]

Haven’t done any 3D printing but this makes me want to get one for sure.

[@adamd1556]

Awesome video. I'm thinking of doing on of these as a birthday gift for a family member but I'm worried that PLA will start to sag over time with temp from the light. can ABS be used?

[@kadedugas2269]

Awesome lamp shade! I'll have to try that.

[@chairhappy3838]

From your last video on this, I was going to do 4 "outer curves" with 4 separate pictures and glue them into 1 cylinder and make a lamp shade. Awesome!!!!!!

[@tonypilborg]

I actually thought of a lamp shade when I watched the last video - but with the extra thickness on the inside of the cylinder - to make it more stealthy... My own printer can not do a big enough volume, so I hope you would consider another one??

[@jaimanbhardwaj1679]

why don't you just make one your self and scale it to fit your lamp

[@mimked]

Another thing to consider is making the lamp shade with several of the simple curved lithophanes that you then somehow tie together. That way you don't need as large of a printer bed to make the same product. Another video I saw when looking for this one has the idea of using small, flat lithophanes to make a box with LEDs inside. Maybe that would be more within your capabilities.

[@_K-G-P_]

Moscow! Wow! Appreciate it. Very nice print.

[@ABitOfTheLot]

great Idea. does the heat not cause a problem for the PLA?

[@jacobrollins37]

Thank you for the great video. I have been wanting to make a lithophane lampshade and I think this video will put me in the right direction.

[@rickjr111589]

BRO!!! that would be cool to do in like a Game of Thrones map type looking shade!

[@jakobguarini4119]

Thank you sooo much! You are part of the reason I started 3d printing! Your videos are awesome! Keep it up!

[@studioreviews2649]

That looks SICK

[@CrzyZeke]

Dude, you crack me up! And the lithophane prints are amazing. What are some of your other social channels so I can share my prints? And get a better camera that can capture how that lampshade looks. I mean you are a youtube professional now :)

[@MegaKencam]

I like your stuff. I wish I could use your video's as inspiration for the kids in my 3D printing class.

[@RcLifeOn]

Of course, go ahead 👍

[@MegaKencam]

I actually can't. I can show no drug references or profanity (even bleeped) to my class. I'm going to go through your vids tonight and see if there are some I can use.

[@alanbremm68]

Hey man I bought my First 3d printer last month and I enjoy It so much... congratulations to the channel, I'm so exciting to make my First lithophane too and Hope do It soon.

[@porschepanamera92]

Dude, you're really convincing me to get a CR-10 and dive into the 3d printing world! It won't be long anymore until I'm going to buy one impulsively and regret it when it doesn't work as fluently as it seems to do in your videos lol. I just wanna design in fusion and print that stuff!

[@deathsmilez5297]

Thx now i know what to print for Christmas presents xD

[@Sembazuru]

Check out the Ikea Lampan table lamps to use as bases for these type lamp shades. The original shade of the Lampan lamps comes off normally for access to replacing the light bulb. Simply replace the original shade with the printed one.

[@diogosoares360]

Dude, that's so awesome. Great work men.

[@dorianfeisel2945]

Have you tried out what happens during night or in a dark room? Do you see the picture on the wall?

[@alibadreddine933]

Buddy, I keep getting a solid cylinder. How can I make it hollow? Please help, it will be my greatest project yet.

[@owentorgerson]

Me too

[@alejandrobailon1761]

Are you using the outer curve at 360 degrees? I mean, if you still care

[@thieu714]

I use simplify 3d also. How did you get the cylinder so thin? I noticed it was set to 3mm. But it looks so thin. When i enlarge the print in simplify 3d, it makes the walls so thick and light cannot get through. Help..thanks..

[@okidokietattoosvanuatu1558]

bro. nice work.. just one question. does the heat of the bulb affects the PLA?

[@SteveNilsen]

So cool! Have you heard anything about the upgraded Creality CR-10 Golden printer with two motors the print axis?

[@HOMEMELI]

Why you don't do the same thing but make it like an Earth

[@leonburstrom2523]

thats cool

[@maxhammerum7705]

HOME MELI cool but would be very hard to print with no internal support

[@joeg6242]

You could do it if you split the earth at the equator and printed each hemisphere separately , pole sides down. I use a bfb 3d touch printer and do hemispheres all the time with no support...

[@mpikas]

Pole sides down? I'm guessing you use a raft or something to anchor it down? Have you tried pole side up? Did it fail?

[@bxruan]

He did do that, And it looks awesome! Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5vOgWR4mNx_hKs

[@robertobaggio6423]

When the print was scaled up in your slicer did the thickness of the wall increase? What would the settings to print be in Cura 3.4?

[@rockcrazy123]

Hi, I noticed your Spidersheet build plate. I just started using the LokBuild it is pretty amazing. How do you like the spidersheet?

[@christelledeneau7461]

Simply beautiful !!

[@christeamhound]

OMG!!! i sent you a message on facebook asking is you were going to do anymore electronic projects and i feel like you have literally replied on video :) Love this channel!!!

[@CorbettxD]

"sheck it out" lol. Your humor is great and your videos are great

[@xxmountaindewxx7893]

Will you try conductive filament someday?

[@andrewavdikos4110]

My friend you are too good... And yes 3D-Creality is the best printers owned , over 13 x 3D printers till know... Keep the good work... We are watching you ...

[@netwolfstar]

This is just awesome , next on my list to print. Thx. btw I have a Panao landscape but it's night time shot I took, would you still make it a negative??

[@JamieBainbridge]

This is super cool. I like your videos where you do projects and try new things. I think the market has been flooded with Gearbest-sponsored unboxings and reviews of the same shit over and over. Keen to see your RC projects next!

[@DefaultFlame]

Looks amazing.

[@not_donovan]

I'm wondering what brand of filament to use for lithophanes.. I used matter hackers pro pla but it was hardly translucent. I had a sample spool that came with my cr-10 and it worked great but I ran out

[@elijahbennett88]

Well, hello there Christmas present - awesome video and awesome idea - can't wait to try it out!

[@spikekent]

That is fantastic, I'm seriously gonna try this.

[@guillaumehuck8940]

Can you make a diy électric longboard with 3d printed parts

[@joshhagen4182]

impression3d fan YES I AGREE DO THIS!!

[@Slavko_Husam]

Badass Killer From which fillament ?

[@blaublau6707]

Hi, which base are you using in that Video as it does not lock like the original.

[@arifanwari3168]

Wait till the glass transition period is met about 52deg+ won't be much of a shade left. It will get to that temp will prolonged usage.

[@Speeder84XL]

That looks awesome!

[@ColesAnimals]

I have a business just selling to my friends and kids from school and I was wondering if using the lithophane maker would be okay if i sold them for print time? A video whats okay to sell would be really cool!

[@phil25308]

Can this be done in other transparent colors or is white just the best choice?

[@riversbenson8026]

That is raw!

[@TheBludgutz]

G'day Mate A lamp shade will be my first project as soon as I can get a CR10. Very curious to know how much filament you used for this project? P.S. I will be using blue LED lights to better show the lithophane....

[@scotte1681]

Very cool! Some day I will have a 3D printer ...

[@jonasmiguellis8776]

Hi Simon Im thinking a long time about it. Are there other 3d printer you think are good, at the price segmen little bit less then the tevo delta. Sorry for my English im German

[@kenfeldman9449]

I'm trying to create and slice a much simpler image than you have printed here, but I'm getting print times in excess of 2 days. what could be the reason for this and do you have a Cura 4.4 profile you would recommend for a print like this? Thanks

[@abdullahaljabri8529]

This is great idea 💡.. I would like to ask you about the sheet on the bed , from where can i buy it? Thanks

[@porschepanamera92]

عبدالله الجابري I wanna know the same thing and how it performs. And did you use glue stick or someting different? And how weird is it that I'm typing in the opposite direction lol

[@brianemery8945]

@ 5:40. Looks a lot like Pittsburgh Pa

[@DMonZ1988]

hey dude. this looks awesome! however when i select solid cylinder on 3dp lithophanes it makes.....a solid cylinderrr (not a 'tube'). did you hollow it out? didn't seem like you needed to in the video, and the filesize is too large for me to import it into tinkercad, so it's kind of complicated. i'd really appreciate your help. what could i be doing wrong?

[@JAYTEEAU]

Awesome work

[@laser612]

@RCLifeOn Question? What filament are you using. My filament is to dense and can not get light through. What thickness is your Y on this print. Thank you in advance. CR10 owner

[@daniel2000dn]

Love your work

[@tonyd7177]

this is a bit of a noob question , but if you used a 60 watt bulb with this shade would the shade withstand the heat and not melt ?? thank you

[@EndermanTheMan]

That's so awesome!

[@BNLcy]

hey simon plz do a 3d printed racing drone. thanks, this is one of my favorite channels

[@graphicsbyshubham]

Loved the lamp shade. Great work... I tried the same thing but am not able to make the cylinder hollow. What could be the issue?

[@mimked]

shubham shah Did you select the option for using the curve and set it to 360° like he showed? Selecting the option for "solid cylinder" doesn't work the way you want it to (if you're hoping for a hollow tube).

[@shijuroyan9244]

Hey Simon there is a new purse 3d printer which enables us a cheap soluble element for the extra structure

[@alfiolocatelli5093]

Nice idea simon

[@nidzdotnet76]

I have one of these printing right now.. It's amazing..

[@tsumetaitenshi]

This is awesome!

[@danieltyas4379]

How do you get the cylinder to be hollow for the shade, all the cylinders I download from the website are solid? Thanks

[@mattherrod1578]

Great videos, have you used the Tevo Tornado much? I have just ordered one and wondered if it would give same quality as your CR10

[@haydenvictorian7226]

Can you review the monoprice select

[@kej6412]

Don't know if you still read the comments on this movie but I have a little question. I made a large image myself (3 pictures in a row) and import them in 3dprocks. Then I used your settings (360 etc) but the cylinder stays full. Also in S3D it stays full of course but when I set 0% infill it is indeed emtpy but the quality is very bad. In 3dp rocks you made a cylinder and there is no infill. How did you do that? Thank you very much for reading en I follow you, of course. Knownbug

[@jordanletchford9139]

Was this ever answered? having this issue too

[@kuriositykid2294]

Please do a review on the TEVO Tornado Thanks

[@amashikha8570]

120 k soon !

[@luckylarz4269]

Wow!!! That is absolutely amazing! Good job man keep up the vids!

[@jf6720]

Any idea how to print a tapered shade (larger on bottom than the top?)

[@spcsmrf8383]

Where do your recommend to buy a CR-10 in Sweden?

[@av9149]

Great video!

[@kevrogt2909]

Hej Simon. Har köpt en creality CR-10 o vill kunna använda lite bättre filaments. Vad behöver jag uppgradera? Skulle uppskatta din hjälp, tack i förhand. Diggar dina videos.. dom e bra!!!

[@paryzfilip]

This is an amazing project! I've got a question: Is ANET A8 good for the first 3D printer? It's only 140$ for me and CR-10 is a bit too expensive. So? :)

[@chairhappy3838]

I personally would not go for Anet A8, Look into Anycubic I3 Mega, for a little more money, you get a much better printer

[@paryzfilip]

It's twice the price on Gearbest for me :/

[@billreed986]

Filip Paryż The anet a8 was my first I've had it since January and run it nearly every day, if you can assemble it properly it's a good little machine.

[@paryzfilip]

I think I'll dive into 3D with this printer :D

[@Mr_Hydroponikz]

Great videos. Could you possibly make a video showing how to use fusion? I recently downloaded this program and would like to know the basics. Keep up the great work.

[@dasulanilanjith5235]

WOW... Super Video

[@CsorbaPatrik95]

Hello. I look from Hungary and unfortunately I can't make a hole in the middle of it. Can you help ??

[@greg8632]

What happens if you make Lithophanes with colored PLA?
