These are Moon Lithopanes for you to remix.
I used actual NASA imagery to make this.
They are designed for an FDM printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle. You may be able to print this with bigger nozzles, if you use the layer height and width I recommend.
Print settings:
Domes are quite hard to print. I never printed this as a whole, I always cut it into pieces first.
Layer Height 0.2 mm
Layer Width 0.4 mm
No supports.
Use 100% infill with a concentric pattern. Alternatively, you can increase the wall count to something like 20 that do the same thing.
I always decrease the speed at the top of the dome (when the bridging occurs) to 50%. You can do this in Cura using the extension post-processing.
I use standard white PLA for these. If you are unsure if your filament works, just shine through the walls of the print with your phone lamp at something like 10% print completion. You should see the Lithophane effect.
You can also print a Lithophane Test.
