that's going to be a confusing name with the connections to 3D printing

I'm not sure how it's confusing. Is it any more confusing than "v8" also being a type of internal combustion engine or blender also being a kitchen appliance?

Yes.

v8 as a drink and as an engine.

blender as a piece of software and as an appliance

filament as a physical building material and as a physical rendering material.

One of these things is not like the other (or rather, one of these things sounds very much like the other).

You can make lithophanes with 3d prints. I don't know about anyone else but that's what I thought this post would be about.

v8 is also a beverage.
