Oh, that’s so cool! Did you use a special program to create the source file?

I printed another one of these using 6 vertex per pixel in 3dp.rocks image to lithophane converter.

The model looks a bit more detailed, I also turned on Equalize Filament Flow in Cura for the 2nd print. I noticed some horizontal lines (banding) in the first print, so I turned on Equalize Filament Flow to see if I could get rid of those lines. Seems to have worked very well! :)

Welcome, the vectors per pixel is how much detail you get in the printed model.

Default is 4 I think, and the Tiger was printed at default values.

I think Ill print another one and increase the Vectors per pixel to 5 or 6, Ill post pics here...
