Back in October, I posted that Id don a 3D litho Print of the first scan for my Goddaughter who had just found out she was having a baby.
Well, Hivers the good news here we are in May and all has gone well so baby** Leo James** was welcomed into the world on the 2nd of May at 8lb 7 oz as she sent me a photo
I guess it's time for another Litho. For a very laid back little dude
My go-to software is lithophane from 3DProcks it's easy to set up and use with lots of options for flat curved and spherical lithos. you can change the settings for the size and thickness I usually go for a max of 3mm and min of 0.8mm, borders if you want them in the settings. Then load the image pick what type of litho you want and hit refresh to let it do the business. You can then download the print as an STL file to slice in** Cura**.
Once the STL is downloaded it's a simple matter of sorting your Cura settings for printing lithos in PLA I tend to use a hot end temp of 200 deg and bed of 60 deg 100% infill and a 0.15mm layer height and a feed of 50mm/s.
Once the STL file has been sliced it's a simple matter to upload it to the printer and let it run and about 12 hours later you have a great keepsake.
