Night Dragon (Lithophane) - HueForge
To celebrate 200 downloads of my Night Dragon (Filament Painting) - HueForge model on Bambu site, I recreated this model as a special edition in a form of Lithophane. It still looks good without backlight, but it really pops out when you backlight it!
Warning! This model requires very translucent filaments to be used as blue and purple colors and also a mildly translucent white. I used glitter PLA filaments from eSUN and AzureFilm, they are almost like a natural PLA only lightly tinted blue and purple with added glitter. Glitter is not that important, but it still adds a little something to the print. If you use very opaque filaments, it might not allow enough light to pass through and the lithophane might become very dark or not translucent at all. You can still attempt it, but you have been warned.
Filament swaps ONLY, no MMU or AMS required, but AMS makes it much easier.
Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm
You can use same filaments as I did, or you can experiment with your own.
Don't forget to upload a make!
