Natural Light Window Art
I got some of the Bambu Lab PETG translucent filament and I wanted to create something to showcase the different colors using natural light, thickness and various infill patterns instead of just trying to make the prints “clear and smooth”. I came up with my Natural Light Window Art pieces that can easily be hung on a window or glass door using inexpensive suction cup hooks.
This is a collection of 6 different prints and 3 different frames to choose from, to match your own personal style and decor.
Translucent Insert Prints
- Inserts were printed using a .6mm nozzle and Bambu Lab PETG translucent filament.
- I only have 4 colors of translucent, so feel free to change to your own colors
- AMS allows up to 4 colors per print easily
- Infill patterns were chosen by object and not by the print, so there may be several infill patterns on a single print.
- All translucent inserts were printed using the Engineering Plate
- Textured Plate can be used, but the finished results are not as translucent.
- High Temp Plate made it difficult to remove the prints, so I would not recommend.
- Feel free to play around with different infill patterns in the slicer to customize!
- Select “Objects” in the Process menu
- select the object that you would like to change
- Change the “Sparse infill pattern” to one that supports 100% infill density
- There are no top or bottom layers, so the infill patterns will show up in the final print
Frame Prints
- The frames were printed using a .4mm nozzle using some PLA+ that I had on-hand.
- Using the Textured Plate gives the frames a nice, finished look.
- The frames can snap together without the use of glue or screws
- Be careful opening the frame after snapping it together, if necessary (for changing inserts)
- Should be fine printed in any color and filament
- Frames have a ring on the top to hang with string/wire/hooks
