Simply place your lithophane panels into the front slot and this stand will hold them upright for you.   The stand has a place to mount a 60 to 80mm piece of LED strip to illuminate the lithophane for you without expensive light bulbs.

I recommend getting a roll of 5v LED Cob strip such as this on Amazon:

Although the new roll of LED strip comes with one USB cable already connected, you will need another approach for subsequent strips.   So I used an old USB cable that I cut the end off of, stripped it back about an inch, and soldered the red wire to + and black wire to - using a little tiny spec of flux to help it adhere to the LED strip terminals.   Took maybe 5 minutes.

For the lithophane panels, here are the settings I used at https://lithophanemaker.com/Framed%20Lithophane.html#processing
 

 

For printing the lithophanes, I suggest the following slicer settings:

  • 0.4 nozzle or maybe even a 0.2 nozzle for higher detail.  The example picture shows the results with a 0.4
  • 0.2 first layer height, then 0.1 layer height for the remainder
  • 100% infill
  • 3 top and bottom solid layers
  • 3 walls

For printing the Lithophane Holder, I suggest these settings:

  • 0.4 nozzle
  • 0.2 layer height
  • 15% Gyroid infill
  • 3 top & bottom layers
  • 3 walls

I would love to see your makes!   And if you have any questions or comments, please @ me and I will be glad to help out.
