Hi, I'm a fan of lithophanes, specifically those that have the shape of a cylinder or moon. It makes me very sad when I make one and you can't see the back. So it occurred to me to put a motor on a base to be able to see the lithos in all their splendor. But it can't be a swivel base and that's it. The bulb cord gets tangled. Well here it comes how I did it.

Supplies

To make the lithophane:

-Lithophane editor (https://itslitho.com/)

-PLA 3D printer filament (white color)

To make the base:

-3d designer (https://www.tinkercad.com/)

-PLA 3D printer filament (be original with color)

To finish the litho and the base:

-3D slicer software (https://ultimaker.com/es/software/ultimaker-cura)

-3D Printer

Others:

-Microwave motor

-super glue

-hot glue gun

-electrical cable

-lamp holder

-LED bulb

-wire conector

Step 1: Lamp Desing and Printing

To desing the base I used tinkercad, you can download the files. For the lithos, I used itslithos.com. You download the photos and the same page includes them in the form of the lithophane. The base is designed for the for a litho with 135mm diameter.

Then you have to send the litho and the base desing to the 3D slicer software so that it passes the STL format files to GCODE wich are the ones that the 3D printer reads and in this way the printer prints them with the chosen filament color. I printed the base with fuzzy skin, in the experimental section.

Step 2: Pull It All Together

We already have all the pieces, we pass the cable through the small hole in the base to the conector. We take two cables from the conector one for the light bulb and the other for the motor. I fixed the motor with hot glue. We pass the one with the light bulb through the small hole in the piece that holds the lamp holder and we conect it to the lamp holder, we put the led bulb. Bottom snaps into base. On the base que past the larger gear guide. On the motor I place the small gear and place on the top of this the large gear guide and on top we will put the lithos.
