- Worth noticing
- The page specifies a 16-bit output and notes that a 3 mm relief peaks at 19661, not the full 65535 range.
Field notes
The page gives concrete starting parameters for several fabrication paths: a 0.8 mm coin relief on a 1.2 mm base, and a 2.8 mm lithophane relief on a 0.6 mm floor. It also distinguishes the image file from the mesh: the PNG carries grayscale height information, while the STL is described as a flat, closed form for fabrication.
