-
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.
