Lithophane questions

getting ready to try my first lithophane. I have a couple questions. In lithophane maker it looks great. In prusa slicer it doesn't look near as good is that normal? Also should i print it at .07 ultra detail or something different?

I also set it at 100% infill any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi! Lithophane don't usually look good in slicers, but you could post a picture so we can help more.

Yes, you need to print at 100% infill, otherwise it will show through. The highest resolution setting helps a lot with tiny details. 

Are you going to print it vertically or laying flat?

Hi guys and girls 🙂

What are your settings in Prusaslicer, detail level and speed ?

Which color PLA do you use ? i was thinking about Snow White PLA.

100% infill and nothing more. Level of detail: the higher, the better, but of course it's gonna take longer. I've tried grey and red lithophanes and as long as you don't make it too thick (< 4 mm, I'd say) it's going to work.
