Lion lithophane

Software used:
Photoshop, Blender, Meshmixer, S3D.

Dimensions: 157mm x 96mm x 3.4mm (6mm with frame).

Note: This is a large and detailed stl file and may put some systems/slicers under pressure. It slices best in Cura 3.6+ or S3D.

__A note on slicing in Simplify3D:__
It’s easiest to slice the lithophane in Cura(or Slic3rPE) as there’s an extra step in Simplify3D due to the way the lithophanes are created(this by design to allow additional editing/printing options for more advanced users).

If you want to use Simplify3D you just need to do the following:
1. Load the lithophane STL into S3D as normal.
2. Click Mesh–Separate Connect Surfaces
3. Slice as normal

The added bonus of doing this is you can re-crop the image into the frame if you wish, or easily resize or remove the frame altogether.

If you don’t do the above in S3D there may be a tiny gap between the frame and the lithophane when you actually slice the model.
