Curved Lithophane with Base

thingiverse

Made on Ender 3 v2 I couldn't find a good base for my lithophane so I designed one. This one is sized for my lithophane which was generated from what I think is a 4x6 photo. I used the lithophane generator at [3dp.rocks](https://3dp.rocks/lithophane/). I set the max size to 150mm thickness to 4mm and has a 4mm border. Curved obviously. To make the base, I just used 8mm COB USB LED strip with some connectors to connect the individual strips together. I hacked up an old USB cable to supply the power. I used a SPST (single-pole single-throw) switch to control the light while leaving the base plugged in. Low temp hot glue was used liberally to keep everything in organized chaos. Not winning any presentation awards here. **Tips:** - Use as small of a layer height that you can get away with - No bigger than a 0.4mm nozzle - Go slow - Print vertically for curved lithophanes and constrain the printer to stay within the part when moving Comment if you have questions. I'm sure I missed something.
