This is a calibration tile for finding the "maximum thickness" to enter into lithophane generators like lithophanemaker.com or 3dp.rocks.
Values of 3-4mm usually work well, but since every filament absorbs light differently, you might want to run a quick test before spending hours printing a whole lithophane only to find that it's too dark to see anything or too light to get a nice contrast.
That's where this print comes in.
Using only 5 grams of filament and printing in just 30 minutes using the settings below, it quickly gives you an idea how much light the filament absorbs at different thicknesses.
Features:
- Each "block" is a different thickness, ranging from 0.5mm up to 7.0 mm. The number on each block gives the thickness in mm.
- The numbers are cut 0.5 mm deep into the block. This gives you an indication of how much contrast you'll get at each thickness. You'll notice that the thicker the block, the worse the contrast gets vs. the numbers
- The decimal point
