About the lithophane lamp maker

Wrap several photos around a lamp shade: round, or a lantern with three to eight flat sides, straight or tapered. Put it over an LED candle or a small lamp base and the pictures glow.

  • Use only cool LED lights inside; PLA softens with heat.
  • Set the number of photos across to the number of sides so each side gets one picture.
  • The fact box shows the widest light that fits inside.
