Any white filament will suffice for printing these out but for colors its important to use filament designed for lithophanes, I use Jessie Premium PLA Color Lithophane! Please do leave a tip via PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee that will support my time, effort, and material for creating these! Also, if you leave a tip, please let me know which model(s) you are tipping for!
Print Settings
- 100% infill - I have printed a lot of these and have found that this gives the most sturdy finished product and avoids having the "grid" from the infill showing when the light is on. Given the size of these it does not require a whole lot more material or time to print out.
- Fine - 0.15 layer height
- Z-Seam alignment - random (for the egg lamps).
Light Sources

Click here for a light that the desktop and Easter egg lamps are designed to work for. Please do click on the link if you buy from Amazon as I will get a small commission, consider it "feeding the designer"! If you consider a different light source its important to know that the lamps are 100 mm (3.9 inches) in diameter so that they set near perfectly on top of it. This light has a cord that plugs into an USB port that most phone and tablet chargers have (the ones where the cord is removeable). A great option to save on the use of batteries. |
