Summary

Customizable Modular Lithophane USB Lamp


Here's the lithopane lamp I designed a few years ago:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3214145
You can print the 4 lithophanes and the base as one piece by merging the parts into one single model. You can also print the parts individually and glue them together. I've uploaded a small cover stripe so you can cover the gap between the lithophanes.


Because I wanted to be able to switch the lithopanes, I designed this new modular version of the lamp.

You'll need:

  • 4/8/... (different) lithophanes
    I've used the following site to create them: http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/
    Make sure to use pictures with a 1:1 ratio
    On the website select "outer curve" model
    Set your model settings to maximum size 100mm, thickness 3mm and border 3mm
    Also choose "positive image" in the image settings
    Set Curve to 85

  • Mini USB LED with magnet (or similar)
    I've used this one:

  • 1 zip tie, width 2.5mm (optional)

Use the lithopane_modular_extension.stl to add additional 4 lithopanes to your lamp!
I have not printed the extension yet, so please let me know if it works!

Let me also know if you have any suggestions (for designs of the top cover)!
