Lithophane lightbox. I remixed the original files in Tinkercad to enlarge the hole where the electric cord enters the led. I also shortened the frame by 2mm so it was a better fit for my 100mm x 100mm lithophane panels.
Frame is printed with PLA filament on an fdm printer, and the lithophane panels are printed on resin printer. The light source is an inexpensive "Ledberg" spotlight from IKEA.
The lithophane panels were created at LithophaneMaker.com. My source photos were 95mm x 95mm squares, with a 2.5mm white frame around each image (so the total size was 100x100). This ensured that the lithophane would have a thin frame around the perimeter to slide into each side of the lightbox. If printing them on a resin printer, be sure to put extra supports at the corners to ensure the edges are sharp and even.
