This is a collection of just some of the lights that I’ve put together recently. These are all lithophane type lights meaning that they use material that’s been 3D printed at different thicknesses from 0.8mm up to 3.2mm. The different thicknesses allow different amounts of light through to give light and shade. The effect is…
This article is to give you some tips on how to choose the best photo for your personalised light. Each light is printed with your photo wrapped around into a cylinder shape. In order to get the dimensions right, it needs an aspect ratio (the ratio of the width to the height) of 4 to…
