Note: This is a large and detailed stl file and may put some systems/slicers under pressure. It slices best in Slic3rPE, Cura 3.6+ or S3D.

A note on slicing in Simplify3D:
It’s easiest to slice the lithophane in Cura(or Slic3rPE) as there’s an extra step in Simplify3D due to the way the lithophanes are created(this by design to allow additional editing/printing options for more advanced users).

If you want to use Simplify3D you just need to do the following:

Load the lithophane STL into S3D as normal.
Click Mesh–Separate Connect Surfaces
Slice as normal
The added bonus of doing this is you can re-crop the image into the frame if you wish, or easily resize or remove the frame altogether.

If you don’t do the above in S3D there may be a tiny gap between the frame and the lithophane when you actually slice the model.
