This was awesome. I used silver ,gold,white pla, just paused at the layers and change filament, so now the bulb is either silver or gold with white in the middle for the litho

[@f1hotrod527]

Thanks for showing how it worked using the tree lights. I was wondering about that. Great video.

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Soarwitheagles]

Thank you so much. You just saved Christmas!

[@eddiemorrone870]

Great idea. It was a hit.

[@klave8511]

Great tutorial, thanks

[@sirt358]

Awesome work. What printer do you recommend for a beginner?

[@hubbahdabut]

I've been working on a similar project on my end, but using a resin printer. And using blender. massive learning experience but crazy cool. Still working on the dimensions, nice to see other new projects on this. Looking for other resin settings though :) thumbs up for your video on the project!!!!

[@nahuel_guy]

Thanks

[@richardwaters9284]

for your demo you showed the flip option in lithomaker but did not use it? isn't the result upside down for an ornament?

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

Yes you're right, I forgot to mention that when I made the video. The setting should be flipped upside down for the ornaments that I demo'd.

[@kellyjean4981]

Thanks for sharing. So unfortunate that those lights only last 3 hours. They seem perfect for these baubles if only they would last longer

[@Mathoose]

Hey! I was able to get one print off perfect but now everytime I try to use lithophane maker and "create STL" I download a zip file with only a txt file in it. I've tried 3 different browsers and using both PNG and JPEG files for the image. Anyone have any advice?

[@jimflores]

That's awesome. Thanks for the instructions! Do you maybe have any affiliate links to suggestions for printers that would work for this project? Thanks!

[@amandaleee1023]

Hi great video, total newbie. How much would we size down to just use with the lights?

[@beginnerscryptolog3205]

OH MY GOD IM PROBABLY OVER ACTING RIGHT NOW SIR BUT THEN AGAIN THIS IS SOME QUALITY CONTENT HERE. HOW ARE YOU NOT SELLING THISSSS? THANK YOU FOR TEACHING THIS FOR FREE IM GOMMA MAKE. ONE RIGHT NOW FOR MY GRANDMA IM PUTING HER FACE IN THE SPHERE THANK YOU SIR.

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

Just a bit 😂 the info is already out there, just hard to find unless you know what to look for. Lots of people sell them too, thinking of offering it on my etsy shop as well in limited quantities

[@beginnerscryptolog3205]

@@donnytheasianmillennialdad929 😂😂😂 there might have been other people who made this but i learned this from you and my grandma loved it a lot im making more for our Christmas tree thank you again good sir

[@jayboc5]

loved this. i am still new to 3d printing and this will be my first attempt at doing lithophane printing. would it be possible to get a copy of your cura profile that you used for this?

[@quby3310]

Can you print it to the inside!? In that case it is a regular smooth white ornament till you turn on the light!

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

It's not an option built into the lithophane maker, so unfortunately no. There's also a problem with that in which the shadows of the protrusions would change the image you see on the outside if the light isnt dead center inside the ornament, so it would look different. I imagine that's why it's not an option

[@klave8511]

If you print a regular flat lithophane and view it from the other side you’ll see that it loses detail.

[@thndrmtn]

I'd like to make a larger one say to 80mm. Can the size be adjusted?

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

Yes, though the larger the ornament the longer the print time. I've made one at 70mm (which is a pretty great size) and it took about 9.5 hours to print at 38mm/s print speed

[@jjacoby1010]

What is the best orientation for printing these -- standing upright with a brim/raft, or flat (in the case of the square frame)? I'm using Bambu Labs and X1C if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

[@assemblynico1108]

Hello, can you please tell me the name of the LED in the video? I would like to buy these. Terrific guide

Hey! Yes it's in the description of the video, here's a direct link: amzn.to/3V7beDn

[@MarcoAntonio-ow2cd]

Hi. Anyone knows the settings for bambu studio?

[@ChuckCourtney81]

Default PLA settings work great in Bambu Studio, and only takes 1 hour on Bambu X1C instead of 6 hours like he mentioned.

[@MarcoAntonio-ow2cd]

@@ChuckCourtney81 I tryed just now and it works great! :D

[@amandasevenlegends6698]

TRYING NOW WITH 99 WALLS AND 0 INFILL, THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL

[@michaelweiss8089]

should have flipped image

[@mynamesjudge]

I agree, if it's hanging on a tree. In this orientation it would be better as a table ornament.

[@mynameisneb]

I made the same mistake! 😅

[@mynamesjudge]

Please don't give Alexa commands during videos lol.

[@mynamesjudge]

Also, great tutorial. Much appreciated.

[@Si1entKiller99]

Great video, thanks! I have a question tho, how do you install a non-battery operated light?

[@donnytheasianmillennialdad929]

Depending on the size of the light, you can either just wiggle it directly in or if the light is a little smaller than the hole, you can probably pad it with some tape. Alternatively you can play with the settings and make the hole with the opening smaller
