It's from the John Wick movies.

This is how it looked after being printed:



Shine light through it and you get this:



That's a really cool idea

Presumably that's created just by converting a 2D image's grey levels into Z-levels, such that material is thinner where the image is lighter (and thicker where it is darker)?

Nice. Is that PLA or something flexible?

It's PLA+ - seems the same as PLA but needs extra heat at the nozzle
The cover is not to thick so easily slips over the phone (and off again if required).

Not the prettiest finish but seems sturdy enough - didn't take to long to print (was in the garage bending plexiglass to make a cover for one of my turntables) so very straight forward!

Diverse are our hobbies.
When I saw "turntable" I thought for turning steam engines, then realised you meant audio.

That looks like a model railway roundhouse under construction, using a cake tray cover to size the model.
