printing Lithophanes
using Photo2Mesh
Photo2Mesh software settings:
The most important settings are Z height & Mesh height.
Z Height:Â 1.5
Mesh Height:Â 2.5
Ensure Invert mesh is selected.
X & Y samples:Â 250 seems to be a good start.
For photos with less contrast & more detail, pick 300.
Note: any more seems unnecessary & in some cases worse due to lowered light
transmission.
UP printer quality settings:
Ensure your orientation is set such that the photo is printed vertically
on its thin side edge NOT flat straight, else it will fail. It also pays to
position such that the layers are perpendicular to the ground. I.E. if its
portrait photo, print on its longer side down, landscapes print on
shorter side down.
Resolution:Â 0.15Â is best but often not necessary if you set the contrast
correctly.
0.25 (250 micron) works better in a way because it hides certain unnecessary
details & improves light transmission.
Fill:Â Tick ‘Shell’ mode
Speed:Â Normal
Slower can help sometimes, but faster causes it to leave more gaps in the mesh
layers.
