To create the base, there are a few different components, the lithophane, the base, the LED backlight, and the acrylic window. All project files are present here so you can make any modifications. Feel free to send any questions my way.

Base

The base was designed using Autodesk Inventor and the design files have been included. The parts are as follows:

• Backlight: Holder for the LED backlight.
• Bottom Base: bottom of the stand, connect the backlight to it.
• Middle Base: Connects the bottom base and provides spacing for the lithophane and window.
• Top Cover: Place on top of the middle base.

The design can be modified to accommodate different components. The holes are for M3 screws.

Lithophane

The lithophane displays an image when light is placed underneath it. In this project, the lithophane's thickness could have been reduced for light to pass through better. See the blender file.

The lithophane contains the following

• A copy of the image used.
• Lithophane: STL for image -> Lithophane
• Lithophane template: sets the size of the insert
  • Dimensions: 4.33in Diameter x 5mm
• Lithophane insert: complete lithophane

Window

The window was laser cut in acrylic, but it can be made using resin if you wish. I recommend moving the pegs a little closer if you want a tighter fit as they are a little loose, but nothing too concerning.

The window contains the following

• PNG for the window
• SVG for the window
• Model for the window

Electronics

The positive of the cell holder was soldered to the positive terminal (anode) and the negative to the negative (cathode).

I glued the battery holder underneath the base.
