About this 3D model

Night Dragon (Lithophane) - HueForge To celebrate 200 downloads of my Night Dragon (Filament Painting) - HueForge model, I recreated this model as a special edition in a form of Lithophane. It still looks good without backlight, but it really pops out when you backlight it! Printing instructions: Warning! This model requires very translucent filaments to be used as blue and purple colors and also a mildly translucent white. I used glitter PLA filaments from eSUN and AzureFilm, they are almost like a natural PLA only lightly tinted blue and purple with added glitter. Glitter is not that important, but it still adds a little something to the print. If you use very opaque filaments, it might not allow enough light to pass through and the lithophane might become very dark or not translucent at all. You can still attempt it, but you have been warned. Filament swaps ONLY, no MMU or AMS required, but AMS makes it much easier. Use Original HueForge profile to get the intended look, my models are very sensitive to print settings because of color blending between layers. Every setting and filament changes for AMS are carefully prepared and fine-tuned in the Original HueForge print profile, feel free to change colors, but I recommend not to adjust other settings. If you want to experiment with your own settings or non-original print profiles, for best look print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm. You can use same filaments as I did, or you can experiment with your own. Don't forget to upload a make!
