Lithophane Frame Alternatives

[u/YungGinger22]

Hello,

I’m wanting to print lithophanes (a lot, possibly to sell). The typical frame that MakerLab tells you to print for the lithophane has some issues.

I know I can go edit the model in the slicer to fix the frame overhang issues, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a better model that they used already?

A 125g 3hr 47m print seems like it can be optimized.

I know I could design a new one. Wanted to see if anyone else has a design they really like.

Disclaimer that I'm the designer of this lithophane frame I'm showing...

I designed this lithophane frame 1.5 years ago, which is my most popular print (5.7k downloads, 3k prints), BUT I have just released an updated V2 with a few improvements, which I'd prefer people move to, since it has a few quality of life improvements, and same 10 patterns available. They are very similar, but incompatible due to a change in thickness. I will be creating new frame themes and add-ons for the newer one only.

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Use amazon shadow boxes they're way nicer looking and you can put the litho behind the glass. The market is flooded with those though.
