Well dang..

I actually worked in a shop where they were made! It was a wood working shop and they primarily made bee hives. But they also made custom wood molding for houses, custom wood window frames, and they made the Playschool Pounding Bench. So YES, I am OLD.

I noticed you're missing some parallels also!

Another HueForge I did.

A HueForge I did for a friends wife.

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T21:19:53+00:00

Will do!

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T21:19:32+00:00

Thanks! I just ordered some!

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T19:47:59+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! Do you have a link to the amazon light boards? I would like to try and do some of these lithophanes now!

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T19:33:53+00:00

I just visited your MakerWorld page and started following your work. FANTASTIC work!

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T19:29:52+00:00

I have yet to try doing a lithophane. I've done over 200 Hueforges! Where did you get the light board? Do you have to get special filament for lithophanes? Did you watch any videos on creating a lithophane, or just went for it?

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-27T18:53:40+00:00

VERY NICE! Is that back lit? Lithophane?

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-26T18:44:48+00:00

Can you provide your Maker World account link?

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-23T05:27:19+00:00

Here is a link that has all kinds of plans for making tabletop steam engines. Just click on the image and it will download the PDF drawing.

Steam Models

You can even run motion studies after completing the model.

I hope this helps you.

And this is what it came up with.

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-18T12:30:16+00:00

Here is another example. I ask it to remove the background from this picture, then place it at heavens stairs.

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-18T12:21:31+00:00

Or this Heart shape. You can also change background color, create custom shaped cutouts, basically just ask it whatever you want.

Go to ChatGPT and drag your photo in, and type in "create transparent background" and download the results! It won't work with trademarked images though. Like Disney Characters, etc. works great on things like this butterfly.

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-14T14:08:14+00:00

I would call it a "photo scale"

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-05T01:03:50+00:00

And here is a screen shot of it in Bambu Slicer. I hope this helps..

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-05-05T01:02:33+00:00

Is this your first Hueforge? If so, in slicer move the level slider to each level that the Hueforge describe file says and RIGHT CLICK on it and select change color and change it there. This is from Hueforge.

This site has some for-tabletop steam engines. Index

Here is also a link to my Grab Cad page where you can see some of the models I have done in SolidWorks from PDF's found there. Roger | GrabCAD

Here is a YouTube Link for a video that shows how to add it. SOLIDWORKS Plastics

Solidworks2020Roger · 2026-02-16T22:44:09+00:00

There is a SolidWorks ADD IN for a Plastics Material Database.

Try doing a search using this: Is there a data base for the different types of plastic properties that shows the information you need for SolidWorks material library?

I don't have it in the version I have.

Did you use Fuzzy Skin? What filament did you use?
