HueForge Harvest Stained-Glass

A HueForge Lithophane Blending Type and an AI created image to make this “stained glass" lithophane harvest scene featuring a pumpkin, printed in TWO parts.  The use of a blue front piece and a red and yellow rear piece permits the creation of a wider array of colors than can be achieved in a single lithophane.

I used PETG to try to ensure they won't be adversely affected by direct sunlight.   Both parts have very thin base layers, so special care is needed to remove them from the print bed. It is probably best to use a release agent, like glue stick, and cool them completely before trying. I damaged my first efforts with PETG printed without a releasing agent.

When joining the two parts be sparing with the adhesive, especially in the lighter parts. The adhesive will change the colors if it is not behind the black or red parts. I just used some around the black parts and around the very edge to keep the glue from showing. If spread thin and uniformly, it should not show too much.

When joining the two parts be sparing with the adhesive, especially in the lighter parts. The adhesive will change the colors if it is not behind the darkest parts. I just used some around the very edge and a few other dark spots to keep the glue from showing. If spread thin and uniformly, it should not show too much.

These uses 0.08mm layers to speed printing with minimal lose in detail.

Part 1

Project: Harvest_BG_2.hfp
Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 150x155.86mm in size
You may print at higher layer heights below the Min Depth of 0.16mm
The Max Depth is 0.88mm and the Actual Depth is 0.88mm

Filaments Used:
PETG GeeeTech Transparent Transmission Distance: 100
PETG Kaaber Blue Transmission Distance: 3.3
This print uses 2 unique filaments

Swap Instructions:
Start with Transparent
At layer #3 (0.32mm) swap to Blue for the rest.

Part 2

Project: Harvest_RY_2.hfp
Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 150x155.86mm in size
You may print at higher layer heights below the Min Depth of 0.16mm
The Max Depth is 1.1mm and the Actual Depth is 1.1mm

Filaments Used:
PETG GeeeTech Transparent Transmission Distance: 100
PETG Wellshow Yellow Transmission Distance: 5.2
PETG Kaaber Red Transmission Distance: 6.5
This print uses 3 unique filaments

Swap Instructions:
Start with Transparent
At layer #2 (0.24mm) swap to Yellow
At layer #7 (0.64mm) swap to Red for the rest.
 

Feel free to substitute filaments, pick ones with the closest TD values. Use a Natural white or transparent first filament, if possible.  Otherwise, pick the one with a TD > 15 to minimize the color change it will cause.
