Lithophane Chistmas Gift
Lithophane Chistmas Gift
Lithophane converts a coloured image to greyscale, then adjusts the thickness of the 3D print based on the image's grey value. My housemate came home one day and showed us a lithophane image he 3D-printed, and how it looked when held up to the light. I thought that with my ingenuity, basic electrical engineering skills, CAD capabilities, and my 3D printer, I could make a pretty good Christmas gift out of this. So that is exactly what I did.
Step 1: Create the model and done mind the STL file, it will turn out

Step 3: 3D Print the Lithophane and the backing
Step 3: Basic Electrical Engineering
Step 4: Wire it up and validate it works
Step 5: Enjoy :)
