Litophane LED holder

thingiverse

I made my own illuminated lithophane holder. It works with a battery and it is used to keep the lithophanes vertically, being illuminated by a led light. It has been designed for lithophanes of approximately 10 centimetres wide, and 3 mm depth (it has to be that way to fit in the holder). To make it I designed the holder in 3D and printed it in PLA. The supports are necessary for the switch hole. I also had to solder the cables and install the components, detailed below. **The list of necessary materials I have used to make it:** - Strips of 12 V led lights, cut to 3 leds ( https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32985997048.html ) - 9 V Battery 6LR61 - Switch for a 9 x 14 mm hole size ( https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32870238027.html ) - Connector for 9 V batteries ( https://es.aliexpress.com/item/33038425138.html ) **NOTE:** The leds I have used use a nominal voltage of 12V, however the 9V battery provides enough potential difference to run them. You could also use a strip of 5V nominal voltage leds connected in series with a resistor. **NEW:** The arms to hold the lithophane are quite long, I have added a version of the stand with shorter and slightly wider arms that are less prone to breakage.
