Designed by my talented daughter, who kindly gave me permission to upload it to this site. Printed without fill, floor, or roof, using 2 shells and perimeters only. My print job utilized natural PLA at a layer height of 0.3 mm, taking a total of three hours to complete. To convert the image, I employed the capabilities of http://3dp.rocks/lithophane. In order to generate an STL file with just one shell, I used the website's 'Merged/Union' tool in conjunction with a cylindrical object. Update: I've recently revised the lithophane generator so that users can produce STL files directly from image files without any post-processing requirements. Simply select "360 solid shell" under "Form:" and you'll be good to go.
