Lantern Lithophane

thingiverse

I created a Lithophane dim that measures 100mm in width, 3mm to 7mm in thickness, and 100mm in height. I opted for the thicker option, 7mm, which took a bit longer to print, but it was worth it. If you decide to go with the thinner option, simply hot glue your lithophane from the inside onto the lantern to secure it. To illuminate my Lithophane dim, I used String Lights Battery Operated Waterproof 8 Modes 50 LED 16.4ft String Lights Copper Wire Firefly Lights Remote Control Christmas Decor Christmas Lights Warm White, which I purchased from Amazon. This versatile string light offers a range of settings and is both waterproof and battery-operated. The lantern topper that I used was actually a hardware store find, originally designed as a drawer handle. It added a nice finishing touch to my project. Both the lithophane and lantern topper were printed using PLA in black and white.
