A browser-based 3D-printing tool for turning photos into lithophanes and models into fitted cases, with STL and 3MF exports.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-08 issue.
For
3D-printing hobbyists making photo prints or custom cases
Worth noticing
The case workflow gives fit-gap guidance: 0.15 mm is described as snug, while 0.3 mm is easy.

Field notes

The lithophane flow accepts JPG, PNG, or WebP and offers flat, curved, or cylindrical shapes, along with thickness, contrast, and print-detail controls. A separate model flow works in millimeters and exposes pocket, rim, wall, and lid settings. The page advises standing lithophanes at 100% infill, while its case instructions say normal infill of 15–20% is sufficient.
