Description

This model is a art-deco style of frame that utilizes the Bambu Labs Backlight Board and holds a lithophane in the same dimensions as the Bambu labs frame. I find it to be more appealing to the eye, looking more like a standard frame, while being more stable and leveraging roughly the same filament amounts as the Bambu variant noted in their wiki.

 

This design improves on the overall stability of the frame (regardless of portrait or landscape position) as the original utilized a pivoting back leg which when printed in PLA/PETG was slippery so any tension on the USB cable would cause it to fall over backwards.

 

The portrait design utilizes the frame and a base that inserts into the 2 slots that hold the LED backlight and the diffuser. The landscape design utilizes the frame, a plate (to seal up the slots to block any light emittance) and the base.

 

The filament usage is as follows:

  • The frame itself uses 165g
  • The portrait base uses 60g
  • The landscape base and blocking plate uses 92g

I have included the diffuser plate from Bambu's wiki for sake of completion of the file to make it a one-stop-shop minus your lithophane.

 

Assembly is as simple as printing the frame, the base you are looking for (no need to print both, only print the justification you are looking to display), the diffuser and the lithophane. The you can insert the diffuser into the smaller slot (if a bit too snug, just run a deburring tool down the edge of the diffuser panel) and then insert the LED panel in the back larger slot with the USB port facing the back of the frame. Now you can insert your lithophane from the front of the frame (it should fit snugly into the opening, again if too tight, use a deburring tool to clean the back edges up just a bit until it fits). Now just place the base into the slots (if portrait) or the blocking plate over the slots and then sit it into the base (for landscape).

 

For help on printing your lithophane, you can utilize the Bambu wiki here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/CMYK-color-lithophane-printing-instructions

 

UPDATE - March 3, 2004: The profile has been updated to include a slightly modified frame that gives a little more room for the litho itself as some users reported to having to shave down their printed lithos too much before installing. Also a slight adjustment was made to the slots for the diffuser and LED panel to make them a bit easier to install. No changes were made to the bases or the plate.

Looks nice but there is a difference in width at the top. It'd wider on both sides so not a layer shift. I also had to screw on the led light oanel because in the slot it was too close to the picture and could see each light. That was with the diffuser.

Thanks for the review! I'm not sure what is causing the variation at the top as everything in Fusion360 shows it perfectly aligned. I will review the file/design and re-upload if I can figure out what might have caused that. Regarding the distance of the LED panel to the front, one thing I noticed for sure was what brand of white filament was used for the diffuser as some brands were much more translucent and allowed the individual LEDs to show through more. I will look at increasing the overall depth of the frame though to give a bit more distance in hopes of helping that.

@Tellervo - Can you share what settings you printed with? It appears that the bulge you are seeing occurs right at the layer where the inside of the frame ends. This appears like it could be related to the infill change that occurs once you get to the top starts to slightly increase your outer dimensions/extrusion causing that artifact. Looking at the raw design, you can clearly see there are no expansions at the top where the frame meets - I am attaching a photo straight from Fusion360.

I used Bambu PLA Basic White. The bambu light panel taped to the back was the distance that worked for me.

eigentlich schön aber ich musste echt viel Rum schleifen damit das lithophan reinpasst

Thanks for the review! I am going to look at increasing the lithophane space just a bit to try and cut down on the need for having to manually trim the lithophane itself. It's a delicate balance to ensure the original fits without allowing more light to pass around the edges.

This is a good model. might even be able to hide additional plate storage behind it?

Thanks for the review! That is an interesting idea, are you thinking storage of additional lithophanes? How many would you want to store?
