Lucky for you thingiverse just started to allow this to work with the customizer and you no longer need to buy seperate software to do it easily.


Step 1: Find an image. I suggest having a light background with a portrait that has good contrast.  You need to step up your google image game!  Check these results to find a good image.

Step 2: Use thingiverse lithopane customizer.

Step 3: Print your new lithopane in White ABS at .2mm layers at 100% infill.  You might need to crank up your flow multiplier slider in Repetier-Host during the print to make sure your layers are thick enough to touch each other.
