Lithophane Lamp

Summary The viewing panes are 156 x 104 x 2 millimeters in size. Thin sections allow light to pass through, especially when using translucent filament like glow-in-the-dark options. Any image can be displayed on the panes, but this lamp was designed for standard photo lithophanes. The base is built around a cheap LED tap light from Amazon. The lithophane frame sections are four identical prints that fit together with a dual tongue-and-groove system to hold the images in place during assembly. However, my printed base is too close to the panes, which makes the light too bright. I raised the walls on the base to lower the light below the panes for better visibility. To create the lithophanes, I used a site called 3dp.rocks with these settings: Maximum Size (MM): 156 Thickness (MM): 2 Border (MM): 3 Thinnest Layer (MM): 0.2 Vectors Per Pixel: 4 Base/Stand Depth: 0 Curve: 0 For the image settings, I chose positive images with no mirror or flip. The repeat count is set to one in both X and Y directions. The tap light used is a Fulcrum 30010-301 wireless stick light from Amazon. Print settings include: Printer: XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15-20%
