####Lithophane Lamp
This is a lithophane lamp shade I designed to work with this lamp: [Aukey Table Lamp](https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bedside-Dimmable-Changing-Bedrooms/dp/B01AJ7F14I) (Edit Nov 2021: no longer available on Amazon, but can be [found at Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/ip/AUKEY-Table-Lamp-Touch-Sensor-Bedside-Lamp-with-Color-Changing-RGB-Dimmable-Warm-White-Light/562650104); edit Jan 2025: Commenter DannyStence shared that [this lamp also works](https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Bedside-Dimmable-Nightstand-Portable/dp/B0B3MBWS84))
The lamp shown in photos is one I made with 8 lithophane images of (mostly) tropical fruits. Aside from the 8 lithophanes, the lamp consists of two support rings, and an upper surface. Follow the directions below to make your own.
Also, I included the G-code files I used with my MP Select Mini. You can import my slicer settings into Cura by going to Preferences > Profiles > Import and choosing the G-code file.
####Version 2
If you want to try printing the photo cylinders all in one piece instead of in 4 separate pieces, check out my remix: [Lithophane Photo Lamp V2](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4137009)
####Lithophane photo panels
Choose a photo and crop it to a perfect square. I did this in Photos on Mac, but it could be done in an photo editing software. It’s important that it has equal width and height. It may also help to increase the contrast a bit depending on your photo, but not necessary.
Use this [awesome…
