Lithophane lamp tower

The tower lithophane lamp is the extraordinary gift for your family, best friends and yourself.

Of course, it is also ideal as an unusual home decor.

Create individual tower lithophane lamps with beautiful photos from family and friends or to match the home decor.

And most importantly - the lithophanes can also be colored.

The lamp can be configured for one or more levels and can be freely rotated on the lamp base. If there are several lithophane levels, these can be offset by 45 °.

The assembly for different variants is explained below in two tables and short animation videos.

The tools required to generate the colored lithophanes, their settings and instructions for printing are explained in PDFs.

Happy printing.

Create your (color) lithophanes

So far I have used the free online software from “3dp.rocks” and “ItsLitho” to generate lithophane STL files; for colored lithophanes I used “ItsLitho” .
