creating a basic lithophane in silhouette Alta 3D

Sometimes there are super cool things you can make with the Silhouette Alta 3D printer.
One of those things is creating a lithoplane which essentially is a plastic photo that you light up.
They do take a while to print but the end results can be super cool.

1- Open up Silhouette Alta software.

2- Go to A free image to lithophane site. Click on images.

3- Click on choose file and upload your image. Try to get a good contrast image for best results.

4- Your image will load up as a lithophane.

5- Depending on what you want to use your design for you can select different styles to create.
Once you are happy click on Download.

6- Go to File - Open.

7- Your design will appear onto your design area.

8- Resize to fit your plate. Do not adjust the thickness. this will need to stay as per the design. Click on 3D print.
