Vertical Lithophane Light Box V4
thingiverse
Hi, this is my refined, 4th iteration of a custom light box for lithophanes. This is the culmination of 2 years worth of intermittent design improvements, so I hope you like it. Parts are all easily available on Amazon and you'll need some sort of glue to assemble. While soldering is nice, it is not necessary and you can easily get away with twisting some wires around each other and covering with electrical tape. You'll want some wire strippers, though. I have included the Fusion 360 file for anyone that wants to remix.

(If you do border, make sure border depth is set to 3 mm) -Lithophane resolution: You can play around with this and maybe even set it to your layer height, but I had luck with a .2 mm resolution, even though I print the panes at a .12 mm layer height. I need to do more testing. -Height 163mm -Width 123 mm -Everything else default. -Print with like 8 walls or something so that the pane is completely solid. I usually also use a brim. Would recommend putting glue down or using a PEI bed for good adhesion.
