Backlit LED Lithophane Stand

thingiverse

I designed a Backlit LED Lithophane Stand to fit my 150mm Lithophane at http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/. I've included all SLDPRT and STL files, so feel free to modify, use, or customize as you like, then share with others. For the cap, I drilled two small holes post-print for some plastic screws I had on hand. Two were plenty to hold everything together securely. The electrical components are a mix of parts from my salvage pile: one G4 3W LED bulb, one variable resistor from a cheap camping lamp, a 12V power supply, and a 100k resistor to tone down the brightness and prevent overheating. As shown in the photos, I also lined the inside with aluminum foil attached to double-sided tape. This greatly improved lighting quality and is highly recommended. Minimal post-print cleaning was needed, and as long as there are no bumps or nobs in the slots, everything should fit together without issues.
