Montini Stained Glass Window Lithophane (Lego Compatible)

cults3d

This Montini brick measures 1 wide, 9 long, and stands 10 bricks tall. I designed the brick as a frame for this lithophane of a photograph taken in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. I believe the stained glass window is by Tiffany. I haven't seen anyone embed a lithophane into a construction brick before, so hopefully this is a new concept. I am releasing models of Montini bricks I've created from measurements of the originals. You can find the 2x bricks here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4051035 Montini building bricks were produced in the Netherlands from 1961 to 1969. They were originally made from soft, pliable polypropylene. The diagonal fins bend slightly around the pips of the other block. These are optimized for a 0.4mm nozzle. They are friction fit parts, so tolerances are important. Please do not mix these with original Montini parts. PLA is much harder than the original bricks, and the layer ridges act like sandpaper. You will wear out the original Montini bricks quickly. These models are compatible with classic Lego full height bricks just like the vintage original Montini parts.
