All you need to prepare lithophanes is your photo, a 3D printer, filament, slicing software, a lithophane maker, and a light source to test your lithophane. The photo you need should be simple and not have a lot of details and contrast, as pictures with too much detail can look muddy ...
Learn the various key settings for 3D printing miniatures and the most appropriate 3D printing technology to use.
When I was a school aged child one of my best friend’s Mom was really crafty. One of her favourite projects was these little 3D pictures that she used to put together, with layered on layer on layer of an image that were slightly raised between each of the layers. When I was decidin...
Here’s a free photo tutorial I did on Instagram, on a deconstructed envelope card. I designed it for a group of people who all wanted to write personal birthday wishes in one card. Simply click on the arrows in the IG post to browse through the tutorial pictures. If you’d like more...
Dark areas on the original (such as pictures or text) do not reflect light onto the drum, leaving regions of positive charges on the drum's surface. Negatively charged, dry, black pigment called toner is then spread over the surface of the drum, and the pigment particles adhere to the ...
How to Use a 3D Pen: I have been into 3D printing for a few years now. Making them, modifying them, using them and whatever comes in between. I have been seeing 3D pens in the market more and more and always thought that they were sort of silly little
This is the third in a series of tutorials to help printer operators who are NOT graphic artists get the absolute most out of their multi-color, multi-material 3D printers, like the Stratasys J750. We will cover how to create models with semi-transparent
How to Design and Build a 3D Printer: This Instructable summarises the design, build, and calibration phases of creating a custom 3D printer by outlining the key design decisions I made throughout the process. It is written to aid you in the design and b
Zooming in might show the results a little better (sorry for the quality of these pictures, I took them from 1,300 miles away) What you're really getting as you increase refinement is the 'sharpness' of the top flat face, it seems like, but I included the zoomed OUT pictures to show...
Ensure even light to reduce shadow and reflected light. Mount2D work (pictures, drawings, paintings) vertically on a neutral space Mount a 2D artwork on a blank white wall with no glass or Perspex over the work. Don’t lean work against a wall and shoot down at them at an angle, as ...
