Easy to build Lithocube - 11cm Lithophane Box - Cube

thingiverse

This is my easy-to-assemble Lithocube, designed specifically for SLA Printers like the Elegoo Mars. It's a clever way to overcome size limitations. You'll end up with a 110mm cube by printing just four identical main parts: a baseplate with a hole for a common 12v DC power plug and a tube to fit a LED strip around it. A 50cm 3528 LED strip will be enough. The tube can even fit those small RF dimmer remote controls. You can build and use the Lithocube in any orientation you want. If needed, I've also included a blank plate. Update 17.11.20 I updated the E14 baseplate to v1.1 because it wasn't flat if printed that way. I added a ring for the hemma base; there was a small gap if you simply removed the original rod. You could also use some rubber rings. mini Update 01.05.20 I updated the mainframe to v1.1 due to a minor error in the Z dimension of 0.5mm. Update 17.12.19 I added a baseplate for E14 socket lampholders (28MM). For my build, I used an Ikea hemma desk lamp stand that cost me just 5€ (B0713 Hemma) and some Ryet LED 200LM lightbulbs (LED1715G3). I removed the 35cm rod, and then the holder fits perfectly on the metal plate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Lithophanes need to be printed vertically. Since I had trouble getting them straight, I created the included support structure. It's easy to remove with the standard Elegoo cutting tool.
