I needed something to discourage bird hits to a kitchen window. I used the HueForge Lithophane Blending Mode and an AI created image to make this “stained glass" styled Cardinal print in TWO parts. The first part has just the reds and black of the cardinal foreground. The second part blanks out the cardinal and provides the greens for the background. Both parts have very thin base layers, so special care is needed to remove them from the print bed. It is probably best to cool them completely before trying.

The two parts are mated back-to-back (flat side to flat side). The parts are mirrored relative to each other. When joining the two parts be sparing with the adhesive, especially in the lighter green parts. The adhesive will change the colors if it is not behind the black or red parts. I just used some around the black parts and behind the bird to keep the glue from showing. If spread thin and uniformly, it should not show too much.

Part 1 (red, black):

Project: Cardinal_Stained_Glass_Part_1_PETG.hfp Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 150x150mm in size You may print at higher layer heights below the Min Depth of 0.16mm The Max Depth is 1mm and the Actual Depth is 1.1mm

Filaments Used: PETG GeeeTech Transparent Transmission Distance: 100 PETG Kaaber Red Transmission Distance: 5 PETG Overture Black Transmission Distance: 0.5 This print uses 3 unique filaments

Swap Instructions: Start with Transparent At layer #2 (0.24mm) swap to Red At layer #11 (0.96mm) swap to Black for the rest.

Part 2 (green):

Project: Cardinal_Stained_Glass_Part_2_PETG.hfp Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 150x150mm in size You may print at higher layer heights below the Min Depth of 0.16mm The Max Depth is 0.96mm and the Actual Depth is 1mm

Filaments Used: PETG GeeeTech Transparent Transmission Distance: 100 PETG Bambu Basic Green Transmission Distance: 1.7 PETG Overture Black Transmission Distance: 0.5 This print uses 3 unique filaments

Swap Instructions: Start with Transparent At layer #2 (0.24mm) swap to Green At layer #10 (0.88mm) swap to Black for the rest.

If substituting filaments, pick ones with the closest TD values. Use a transparent or a high TD white, one with a TD > 15 to minimize the color change it will cause.
