Having issues with the Make a Lithophane model on the site using the 2-panel and 4-panel LED sold on the site. The 4-panel frame is designed and ran perfectly and looks good. I ran a 2-panel frame and Lithophane today and wasted 10 hours of run time as the frame is ■■■■. It’s designed to have the LED panels directly behind the printed Lithophane panel and it looks like ■■■■ as all the LEDs are visible.
Has anyone ever checked this out?
Anyone have a newer version of the frame?
May or may not be of interest but I did a lithophane frame for the single led panel that includes a diffuser. No leds visible through the lithophane.
I just printed a 2-panel frame and Lithophane. I don’t see the LEDs, the picture looks great. If the LED panel is not latched to the bottom of the frame then indeed the LEDs show through the Lithophane. But when properly installed it sufficiently diffuses the LEDs. At least in my experience. (I’m now printing another one!)
I’ve successfully printed at least a dozen of the 4 panel frames and the dimensional backset of the 4 panel vs 2 panel is completely different. The 2 panel can only go so far and from the frames I’ve run, it’s not enough. The 4 panel frame backset is perfect if it was only carried over to the 2 panel frame.
