General Information I wanted an easy to print and nice looking frame for some Lithophane's I have. Furthermore, it should use cheap lights with batteries. I couldn't find something I liked so I drew my own in Fusion360.
Parts and Tool The Lights I used BXROIU 2 x 20er Micro LED
I used the Flat Lithophane Maker to create the Lithophane.
Filament Sunlu PLA+ white and Sunlu Wood
The settings I used Lithophane Resolution (mm/pixel) 0,2 Width (mm) 170 Height (mm) 120 Depth (mm) 6 Base Height (mm) 3 Overhang Angle (deg) 60 Maximum Thickness (mm) 2,4 Minimum Thickness (mm) 0,6 The Width, Height and Depth are important. You need to use the same values as above or change the frame model. The other settings depend on the printer you are using. I used a modified Artillery Sidewinder X1 to print this model.
My print settings Lithophane:
0,4mm Nozzle 0,2mm layer Hight 4 perimeter 100% infill Frame:
0,6mm Nozzle 0,3mm layer Hight 3 perimeter 30% infill
Assembly It's very simple:
Thread the fairy lights through the hole on the back. Bend the fairy lights so that they are nicely wrapped in the groove. Fix with hot glue if necessary. Simply place the Lithophane in the slot provided. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me in the comments.
