Printing details

I used white PLA 1,75mm from 3Donline (https://3donline.be/ ) for all printed parts

1) Lithophane : 0.1 layer heigth with a 0.4mm nozzle, 100%infill,

2) All other parts were printed at 0.2mm layer height with 20% infill , infill pattern gyroid,

3) All parts can be assembled by pressfitting them without any glue,

4) The total print time for all parts was about 40 hours because lithophane printing is very slow (20hours).
