Printing Tips
• Smaller nozzle sizes and lower layer heights are essential to achieve better printing results. We suggest using 0.2mm or 0.4mm nozzle sizes and layer heights between 0.08mm and 0.12mm. Check CMYK Lithophane Printing Guide on Wiki.
• Due to the limitations of printing layers and resolution, there may be some color deviation between the actual image and the lithophane prints.
• To prevent warping, the recommended heated bed temperature is between 45-50℃.
