Lithophane Cylinder Lid Top and Bottom

LITHOPHANE CYLINDER

Used to provide a top and bottom lid for a cylindrical lithophane allowing it to be mounted on an LED light base.

  • Purchase one of the LED light display bases below (or similar) (.webloc provided for quick link)

    Amazon.com- LED Lights Display Base LET’S RESIN 2PCS Wooden Lighted Base Stand for Laser Crystal Glass Resin Art- Arts, Crafts & Sewing

  • Use the file TEMPLATE.png and fill in with your own photos

  • Go to http://3dp.rocks/lithophane (.webloc provided for quick link)

  • Use the model and settings as per the included screenshots

  • Verify that you have the POSITIVE / NEGATIVE image setting properly based on your image

    (Dark areas should be THICK, White areas should be thin)

  • Download and print your STL with 100% infill, either in white, grey, or a pastel color

  • Print out (1) Lid_Bottom and (1) Lid_Top

  • Superglue the bottom to an LED base with the open circle aligned over the light; then superglue the cylinder to the base, and finally the top

Here is an example, where I used (2) Lid_Bottoms, so that some of the light would come out of the top, and mounted a resin cast over the top hole to be underlit when the lamp is turned on.
