Lithophane 8 sides edited

Instructions The lamp: (1) Use this website to make the lithophanes: Here is the exact process I used: Image: Picture Shape: Square Picture Orientation: Horizontal Pane Size: Large Invert Colors: Checked Adjustments: Include Hole: No Hole Diameter: [Doesn't apply] Layer Height: 0.2 Number of Layers: 20 Slicer (KISSlicer to be exact) Height from 4.4mm to 3.2mm If the customizer errors for you, see user "dlee_maker" comment on an alternative lithophane generator. (2) Print your lithophanes and scale to 76 x 76 x 3.2 mm. (Change the print height in your slicer and the x, y dimensions should be correct.) Printing anywhere 0.1mm - 0.2mm is great with 100% infill. (3) I used ABS; the LEDs get the structure up to 50-60C. PLA will work by limiting the LED brightness if it gets much hotter. (4) If you normally use "ABS juice", use a glue stick this time. Cleaning the residual slurry off the flat side will be unsightly (as it is the outside part of the lithophane.) (5) Print the lithophane support structure at your standard settings with no support required. 100% infill is not required for these. (6) The LED tower is glued to the base with something strong such as J-B Weld.
