Baha'i temples are not only for Baha'is to enjoy. They provide a place of tranquility and unity for all. Now you can bring a little piece of the North American Baha'i temple into your home with this beautiful lithophane nightlight switch cover.This nightlight cover is a relief of the Baha'i Greatest Name symbol featured on the ceiling of the Baha'i temple in Wilmette, Illinois. Because of the unique nature of 3D printed lithophanes, you can now experience the architecture of the Baha’i temple in stunningly realistic 3D giving you a better sense of how it looks in person. Much like how the design in the Baha'i temple is illuminated by the sun during the day, this design is illuminated at night when you turn the nightlight on! This piece makes a great home decoration and conversation starter. Photograph of the Greatest Name at the top of the interior of the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois by Sean M. Scully UsagePlace this cover over a nightlight to see the image shine through! This design works with most nightlights, but it may not work with all models. For these photos, I went to the grocery store across the street and bought a nightlight.How I Designed ThisI used Photoshop to convert the photograph to grayscale and increase contrast. Then I used an online tool called Lithophane Maker to convert it to a lithophane. The nightlight cover template was provided by Lithophane Maker.Stone Filament Version Lithophane Settings (light version uses default)Crop?: YesLithophane Resolution: 0.2Maximum Thickness: 1.8Minimum Thickness: 0.4Frame Width: 7.5Slot Width: 17Slot Depth: 17Adapter Thickness: 1.8Radius: 80Light to Lithophane Spacing: 30Night Light Width: 120Night Light Height: 105X Shift: 0.5Y Shift: 0.5Scale: 1.0Print NotesThe print featured in the photos was printed in Paramount3D Karnak Sandstone PLA GBRL10197530S using the model labeled “bahai-greatest-name-nightlight-dark-filament.stl”This wobbled quite a bit on my printer, causing some z-axis banding. While this design shouldn’t need extra adhesion to print, it may provide some additional stability to improve the quality of the final print. Print at 100% infill.Category: Art
