Diffuser Panel Instructions: 

Using Filament Change: 

• Very important to print at 0.2 mm layer height. This ensures 3 layers of white diffuser. 
• Start with White filament, then at layer4 change the filament to Black. 

Creating custom model/art diffuser panels: 

• Print the blank diffuser panel using the above method or just print it in white. 
• Resize the custom model/art into 104mm width x 94mm height. 
• Print the custom model/art at least 2.20mm layer height so that it matches the frame. 
• Use super glue to stick the custom model/art to the empty blank. 
• Repeat. 
• Grofit!

Notes:
