Ten Headed Great Kali - Lithograph [Easy to Print Filament Painting]

Simple to print, you dont need a multi colour AMS or MMU unit. All you need is black and white filament. This will print in any FDM printer capable of printing 0.08 layer height.

This filament painting is created with Steve Lavitas' brilliant Hueforge software. It creates beautiful colour 3D prints from images. Photos dont do justice to the prints, they have to be seen and felt to be appreciated. The original image was converted to black and white and optimised for Hueforge.

About the Model: Created from a popular Lithograph by B.S.Sharma. The ten-headed goddess Kali is depicted in a fearsome form, her multiple arms wielding various weapons and severed heads. She stands triumphantly atop the supine body of Lord Shiva, who lies peacefully beneath her. Kali's tongue protrudes out, symbolizing her wild and destructive power, while her dark complexion represents the primordial cosmic energy. This iconic image symbolizes the transcendence of time and the eternal dance of creation and destruction within Hindu mythology.

Printing Instructions:

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

Filaments Used: PLA+ Esun Black Transmission Distance: 2.6 PLA+ Esun White Transmission Distance: 10

Swap Instructions: Start with Black At layer #7 (0.64mm) swap to White for the rest. This can be easily configured on your slicer when slicing.

IMPORTANT NOTE : For colour accuracy you will need to print with white filament with a Transmission Distance (TD) of 10. The TD of the black does'nt seem to matter. But dont worry, just use ESUN White and Black. I chose Esun because that brand seems to be universally available across the world. You will have the same result with ANY white filament with a TD of 10. To find the TD of your filament check out:
