Finally gett'n the hang of these lithophanes

One big tip for quality, keep your filament bagged up with desiccant bags to keep any moisture out of the roll, even in your environment. I keep 2 gallon bags on hand and put the roll away when finished with a job. The moisture in the roll expands when printing and causes a lot of the little goobers.

I have them in air tight container and some have desiccant in them but not all I need to get more. During monsoon season it not a dry heat....lol
 
I've got a jerky dehyrdrator I'll put stuff in from time to time if I have problems printing. Oddly enough, I have more trouble printing in the summer here due to the swamp cooler than I do in the winter.
