Moon Lithophane

thingiverse

I took a picture of the Moon using my Zhumell Z12 telescope and Nikon d5300 camera. I created three different lithophane versions - Flat, Flat with base, and Curved. The Flat version can be used within the Lithophane LED frame that I have linked below, but it would need to be sized to 5" x 3.75" x .157". It's also possible to make it thicker, although it might stick out a bit from the frame. You can see how it looks in the frame by watching the video below. The LED frame for Lithophane is available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3621412. To create darker areas around the Moon, I spray-painted the back of the lithophane black where necessary. White PLA or ABS material is recommended for printing this design. A 100% infill setting and a thickness of 4-6mm are also required. Additionally, it's essential to set the Shell Thickness to half the object's thickness and the Layer thickness to .06 or lower.
