Here's a lithopane image created with the Customizer tool at Thingiverse. The design uses a dat file to produce a precise and detailed picture. Instructions Using the options: Text Vertical Position: This setting adjusts where the text appears within the image. I've set it to 0, which places the text directly on top of the image. Custom Text: Line 5: ____________________ Line 4: ____________________ Line 3: ____________________ Line 2: ____________________ Line 1: ____________________ Image File: The dat file used for this lithopane design is named 'lithopane_new20150318-24125-1ixay44-0.dat.' It's the source of the detailed image you see before you. Text Reverse Option: When turned on, text will be reflected in its reverse form. I've set it to No. Include Hole: If Yes is selected, a circular hole appears at the center of the design, visible only when illuminated from behind. Picture Orientation: The lithopane's orientation can either be Horizontal or Vertical, but I have set it to the former. Text Size: Adjusting this value alters the text's font size, ranging from 1 point to an unspecified higher number. I chose 10. Pane Size and Layer Details: Number of Layers: For precision and high image quality, twelve thin layers create the intricate lithopane picture. Layer Height: The thickness of each layer can be modified, and in this design it's set at a value slightly more than nothing - a staggering 0.2! Hole Diameter: Finally, setting this value at ten defines how wide or narrow a hole should be visible within your final result when using the appropriate backlight to bring it all together.
