I had high expectation for this, but found that it is hardly transparent. It is nice and white, but very dark when putting a light behind it.
Thanks for the feedback! Lithophane brightness depends heavily on the maximum thickness setting used when generating the lithophane as well as the strength of the backlight. If the max thickness is set too high, the print can appear darker when backlit even with lithophane-optimized filament.
For best results we typically recommend keeping the maximum thickness around ~2.6–2.8 mm or lower, and using a strong, even backlight source. This allows more light to pass through while still maintaining good contrast in the image.
If you’d like, feel free to share the settings you used and we’d be happy to help optimize them!
All our best,
The AF Team
Love this filmanet
I haven't had success with printing with this. I sent a note to support and haven't heard anything yet. At this point either we figure this out or we should return the two spools. Love to have some follow up here.
Mark,
We replied to your support email, but haven't received a reply back from you. Please email us at sales@americanfilament.us!
Made great looking lithophanes. I have made seven so far.
I am sorry I am sending back the 3 I currently have. They creating vertical bands that my other filaments don't do
