GEO3D prints lithophanes in white PLA in Tbilisi and delivers across Georgia. Great as a gift.

How it works

  1. Choose a photo. Drop it on the tool or click to pick one. It is read on your device and never uploaded.
  2. Shape it. Pick flat or curved, set the width and border, and tune the thickness: thick areas stay dark, thin areas let the light through.
  3. Check the glow. Switch to Backlit to see roughly how the print will look with a light behind it.
  4. Download the STL. Slice it in PrusaSlicer, Cura or Bambu Studio and print — or order a printed one from us.

Printing tips

  • Use white PLA at 100% infill and a 0.4 mm nozzle. Layer height 0.12–0.16 mm gives the smoothest shading.
  • The STL is exported standing upright. Printing vertically gives the best detail; add a brim for stability.
  • Photos with good contrast and clear subjects work best. Try raising contrast if the preview looks flat.
