3D model description

This Does NOT include the Lithophanes.. I used itslitho website or similar.. Due to Copyright. I found the pictures online.

Had an idea to design a police phone box and use the panels as lithophane holders. It also looks just like the Dr WHO TARDIS, as that was obviously based on the police box from the 1930's
From the design I scaled it down to 60% in Cura, as I realised it was a bit big for my Ender 3.
You will obviously work it out, but you need 4 of the side panels, they have recesses for the lithophanes to locate into. So make sure you print them with the front on the plate. This means no supports needed and a smooth outside surface.
You only need supports for the roof and the beacon.
I rolled up a bit of clear plastic to go in the beacon.
The size of the liths (if reduced to 60%) are 27mm wide and 33mm high.

As yet undecided how to light it, there is a large hole in the base to insert a light of some sort.
You will need to glue the liths to the panels, the roof to the frame, the beacon to the roof. And possibly other silly bits
There is a single strip that goes on the front door.
It needs a keyhole or a handle, depending on what era of box you are going for.
Don't forget the instruction panel that goes on the front left door, if you want.
This model does NOT include the liths.. You can choose your own pictures to use.

3D printing settings

I printed at 0.24 layer height. 0.2 for the liths.
PLA in police box blue.
The "police public call box" was printed in black and letters highlighted in white paint pen.
