Lithophane Box

thingiverse

I designed all 4 lithophanes simultaneously, rather than printing them individually as is often done. To create this multi-image print, I utilized the 3D rock website to import and generate 4 separate lithophane designs (124mm x 150mm each), which I then imported into Cura and arranged in a box-like formation to produce one unified G-code file for all four images. For lighting, I employed a compact USB-powered LED light strip that I purchased from Walmart for just $5. By wrapping it around the central pillar as seen in the accompanying photos, I was able to achieve a low-cost yet effective illumination solution. To further enhance the box's aesthetic appeal, I sourced cabinet knobs from Hobby Lobby at an affordable price and used them for both the legs and top knob. This allowed me to personalize the design while keeping costs under control. The overall design is straightforward and uncomplicated but effectively serves its purpose. To assemble the structure, I employed super glue to secure the tube in place within the slot on the bottom, while hot glue was used for all other components. To provide a clearer understanding of my approach, I have included an STL lithophane file that illustrates how I sized it using 3D rock's tools.
