LAST TRANSMISSION FROM COMMANDER BOWMAN:

“MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS.”

 

Open the pod bay doors, Hal. Take the mood lighting in your print room on the ultimate trip. The panel was made to fit EScvn54's “Desktop Lithophane Frame”.

Print with white filament at 100% infill with a layer rate selected for high detail and this STL will yield a near photo-quality lithophane.  Note while the case says it will fit 120 x 90 lithophanes that is a really loose fit.. This pane will print slightly larger.  About 122 x 92 for a tighter fit.

After you print the case parts, assemble the bottom using 2 M3x8mm screws. There are many ways you can light this. A hole in the side allows for the pass-through of a power wire. Mine lights through this unit from Harbor Freight. It's battery powered, and the brightness level and effects are adjustable with a remote control. BONUS! It doesn't cost that much!

I have a series of lithophanes that all fit the same holder. You can swap out the picture according to your mood the season or whatever! The collection can be found HERE.
