3D model description

This is My first Lithophane Lamp. I hope you like it. I tried to make this with PLA, but the legs were not strong enough. PLA PRO works much better. I do not sand or finish the parts. Just snap the Bases together and place the magnets into the Lid and top of the Legs. This lamp will hold Up to 9 Photos. I usually configure the with two Tall Prints, four Small Prints and the Square Print for the Lid. The Lithophanes slide into grooves on each side, top and bottom of each opening. There are spacers included to place between two shorter photos. They give it a nice look.

Lithophane Sizes:
MAXIMUM THICKNESS: 3mm
Top; 89mm x 89mm
Tall; 87mm x 141.5mm
Small; 87mm x 69mm

PARTS REQUIRED
Magnets: (8) 6mm x 3mm
LED Bulb: (1) C37 Candelabra Bulb
Socket: (1) DiCUNO E12 Lamp Holder
Cord/Switch: (1) Lamp Power Cord Inline Button Switch
Wire Nuts: (2) Min. 2x#22 Max. 2x#16 - I trim the ends a little so they fit better.
I use Hot Glue to hold the socket in place. You can adjust the center to match any socket you choose to use.

IMPORTANT WARNING: USE LED BULBS ONLY! INCANDESCENT BULBS WILL BECOME TOO HOT!

3D printing settings

I have got good results from a layer height of .1 to .2 You may choose what suits you.
I slow the Print Speed to 50 for all parts, but that is just me.
Just follow the TEMP for Material and Bed as Shown on your material, or what works best for you.
