Description

Take professional looking photos of your 3D printed models. This tabletop photo studio light box is seamless, providing an infinite background style without corners or seams. Similar tabletop cycloramas sell for $180 at photography supply stores. Print yours for around $10 in 6 hours!

I printed this in Bambu Basic Jade White. For black or darker color backgrounds I recommend using matte filament to prevent reflections or visible printing seams. The background can be sanded and painted for a smooth custom finish of any sheen or effect. I am going to print one with matte black and sprinkle in some stars for an infinite space background! I'll upload the photos when it is complete.

All photos were taken with iPhone. For the light source, I used an adjustable desktop LED lamp with color temperature controls. This was perfect as I was able to move the light source easily to where I needed it. There are several affordable options on Amazon and elsewhere.

Note: Bedslinger-type printers may need to print a little slower to prevent vibration at the top of the print. Just monitor your model for any movement in the last hour and slow down your printer if necessary to eliminate any vibration artifacts. Since printing, I made the walls 2 layers thicker than my prototype and added a rib to each end of the background to stabilize the walls and prevent vibrations at the corners, and also for added opacity.

I have a photo box model as well....but your model is next level! this is so good....I feel like I should take my photo box model down and just tell people to print yours! 5 stars....amazing!!

Wow thanks for the nice feedback. Did you make the light on top? Looks like it works perfect for this.

Replying to @SHDesigns :

it's just an under cabinet light from Amazon that I use for my printer...but since it's portable, I will use it for my photos. you can find it in my models....thx!

A few comments following up on my review: I intended to use gyroid for the infill but made a mistake somewhere. Considering the high thin walls if I print another I'll use gyroid, maybe adaptive cubic It's a half a spool of filament, so I first calibrated for the spool using the two Flow calibrations in Bambu Studio: Flow Dynamic - automatic Flow Rate - automatic I'd recommend doing the same, a few minutes well spent. On printing fast, and doing it well - E3D Obxidian can make it happen. The Bambu Carbon X1 is a great printer, expecially for its price. It has listed some pretty impressive print speeds, speeds it can print even remotely well at. It's not any issues with the gantry and steppers, they work well. However, the Bambu Hot Ends / Nozzles are not capable of delivering molten filament at the flow rates required. Granted, even slowed down the Carbon X1 is FAST. Replacing my Bambu HotEnd and Nozzle with an E3D High Flow helped tremendously. The print speed I used for this model are very conservative with the new hot end/nozzle. I can print decently well at significantly higher rates now, They are more expensive, a Bambu Hot/nozzle is $40 USD and the High Flow Obxidian ones are 60 GPB (~75USD) The Odxidian nozzles -in the non-high flow form- have been around for years. The are hardened and hold up well. (https://e3d-online.com/products/hf-obx-bambu - Bambu was involved in their development) Stephan of CnC Kitchen explains the flow rate issues so much better than I - and so much more.
