Simple Lithophane World Lamp

In this project I want to make a lithophane lamp
before starting, let's prepare the tools and materials first

the first of course is lithophane products, in this case I use 3d print.

I use the online application http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/,

this site is used to convert images (jpg) to litophane (stl) 3d objects There are lots of tutorials on using this site, you can search for yourself on the internet.

for example I use the world as an image

download the 3d design (stl) from the site if it has been converted

slicer is useful for converting the 3d design (STL) into a machine command (Gcode), so it can be printed by 3D print.

I use repetier host software.you can download it for free at https://www.repetier.com/

Save your gcode file after slicing 3d design (stl).

After completing slicing and getting the gcode file, print the file using 3dprint

Then if you have finished printing, take the product and try to see the temporary results by directing the lithophane in front of the light, from here we can estimate the results.

To make the casing you can use the material up to you.
in the project I use:

1. writing tool

2. ruler

3.cutter

4.lithophane products

5. Paperboard (I use food wrapping paper)

1. Measure the large size of the lithophane product.
2. Cut the cardboard according to the size of the lithophane.

in this step I suggest using black duct tape, so that light is maintained inside the lamp casing

shape your case into a box, or up to you ......, you can choose according to your art.

You can choose yourself for lighting. You can use LEDs, neon lamp and etc.
in this project I used a light bulb for the light

In this step I am giving fully to your artistic talent.
in my project, I only decorate using black tape for the cashing corner

turn on your lithophane lamp and enjoy the results.
In my picture, somehow it can't be seen on the camera, maybe because of the back light effect.

I photographed it in a bright room but made the lithophane results invisible. and if I focus the camera on the lithophane, then the room looks dark on the camera.

It is a pity that I cannot capture the beauty of the photo in the picture.

You can make your own lithophane lamp. You can make romantic lights, signs, wedding gifts and others.

let's try and work
