    Super handy for printing gaskets in TPU, used it for a long time. Just scan a flanged object on a flatbed scanner, clean the image up in paint program of choice and all good.

      That is a brilliant idea! I would have had to use fusion 360 to do the same.

    Lithophane or lithograph. Convert to greyscale first and add a border (I like irfanview for simple image edits). Darker is higher. 100% infill, 30mm/s, 0.12 layer height. Print it vertically with the image in the x axis. Printing flat creates artifacts.

    Ive used this for some time, Ive found on certain pictures converting to a black and white helps with details before importing. Also instead of searching using there open file function you can just drag and drop from your explorer into cura, makes easier then switching to what file your looking for.

      Yeah I always forget about drag and drop.

    This works really well. I made one of my black dog against a light background and it looks great. No preprocessing, borders or anything. I just downloaded the jpg and loaded it into Cura.

    Try using MS Word to type your sign [eg; Signs for vegetable beds] select all and insert 'word art', then resize to the size you wish to use, when you have done this take a rectangular area screen dump of the sign and save to .JPG to your preferred safe place.

    Heard about it, but didn’t have any faith in its application for my prints since i work with higher dimensional precision that’s needed with vector drawings or .obj / .stl files.
    It does sound interesting for logos and casting if all you have to work with is an image file.
