About this generator

Modelador 3D Lithophane Generator turns a photo into a lithophane, from the same small Brazilian modeling studio behind the Modelador 3D Part Generator. You upload a PNG, JPG or WEBP image up to 12 MB and choose a flat plate, a curved panel or a cylinder. Then you set the width from 50 to 240 mm, the minimum and maximum thickness, a frame, and the brightness, contrast and inversion, and compare the preview before you export an STL.

The tool keeps at least 0.5 mm between the thinnest and thickest parts and starts at 0.8 mm, which the page suggests for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Like any lithophane, the picture only shows when light shines through it from behind, and the STL has no color. The page says the image stays on your device. The interface is in Portuguese.

Downloads are free once you register a first name and email, and an optional donation is suggested. It suits makers who want a simple photo gift or night light panel.
