Description

This lamp is a three-dimensional high-res lithophane representation of the Earth, designed to encapsulate the surface details of continents. When a bulb is placed inside, it illuminates the intricate topography. The lamp stands on a simple yet elegant triangular base that supports the spherical lithophane. This design is available for 3D printing, allowing for a personal touch of astronomy in the comfort of your home. Made using 3dSolarLithophane script on github, bayonet lock designed by me.

 

Why is there no print profile?

  • because makerworld can't process such a high definition file in set amount of time they specified, when you'll slice the Earth, it can take around 3-10 minutes, depends on your machine
  • you can download attached 3MF files as print profiles
    • earth_0_20mm - 0.20mm layer height - 16 hours print
    • earth_0_16mm - 0.16mm layer height - 21 hours print

I printed it scaled down to fit on a standard LED that cycles through colors. Looks very nice.

Printed this on my X1C. Turned out great using Creality PLA white. It's amazing the detail it has. Used the MK28 stand and it fit perfectly. Thank you to uploader!
