So I finally got around to using a feature of Jetty's firmware that I knew was there, but never played with.
It's called OverrideGC Temp which essentially allows you to set the temperature for printing on the printer instead of when slicing so I can switch from ABS to PLA without reslicing and it works great. I still have to re-level the build plat until I install those aluminum arms I got.
In my searching for an alternative to
tan for lithophanes I tried some gold PLA from
ToyBuilder labs and... it doesn't work. Too transparent. maybe I can find a thickness where it will work but I'm guessing it'll be really thick. So no gold for lithophanes. And still, I search.
Hi there. Faberdashery do a good gold PLA. Isn't transparent at all, but then I don't know if you need some transparency for the lithophanes (never tried printing one). I use it on my etsy store (I won't be cheeky and link) and it photographs well. It is expensive but I've got some lying around. I could try a test print for you if you'd like.

Really I want tan again. That was the best, bar none. Ah well.
