Lithophane Stand

pinshape

I love lithophane electric night lights, but sometimes a naturally-lit one is less intrusive; just place it near a window. Here's a simple stand for curved lithophanes having a radius of around 120-150 degrees and a total thickness of 2.5mm. If printed in ABS, a range of radii will work thanks to ABS' flexibility. Use one each top and bottom, or just bottom if you prefer that look. The stand shown here was printed with PolyWood filament from Polymakr at http://www.polymakr.com/ on an Afinia using the PLA profile, "Fine" speed, and 0.3mm layers. My parents' wedding photo lithophane was generated using PhotoToMesh at http://www.ransen.com/PhotoToMesh/ and printed in Octave natural ABS on an Afinia at "Fast" speed and 0.20mm layers. The stand design can be edited online at Tinkercad at https://tinkercad.com/things/kukqLSAmjSw. It uses the Shape Generator "Hi-Res Tube Segment" by Anthony Graglia.
