According to wikipedia, A lithophane is an etched or molded artwork in very thin translucent porcelain or plastic that can be seen clearly only when back lit with a light source. They can be 3d printed.
Generators
When printing
- See https://all3dp.com/2/how-to-3d-print-your-own-lithophane/
- Don't print with infill, ensure there are enough walls to account for half the thickness.
- Print a border if mounting it in a frame or shadowbox.
- If necessary, modify the image before uploading.
Once printed
- Mount it in or on something, 3d printed base, wood frame or shadowbox, ideally with a light behind it.
- Don't use lights that generate a lot of heat, for instance a halogen light bulb could melt or warp a 3d print.
