LED Lithophane Lightbox V1

thingiverse

I created this beautiful Lithophane Lightbox for my sister's 30th birthday, but you can use it for any celebration. The design includes a 30th Birthday top pane STL file, along with a blank pane in case you prefer not to display a lithophane at the top of the box. To create the perfect lithophanes, I've designed the box to hold 100x100mm images that can be generated using: http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/. For optimal results, set your image settings to Positive Image and print the lithophanes on their edge with a brim. This may seem unconventional, given their slim 3mm thickness, but if your bed is levelled correctly and your printer is well-calibrated, you'll achieve a much better quality print. You can use any light-colored PLA filament (except transparent) for the lithophanes. I've only tested white so far, and it turned out wonderfully.
