Many people have asked me to share the files for the lithophanes I'm creating. I don't personally create the lithophanes myself, but use a web based tool that has a ton of granularity to its configuration. I will link this tool below, and have included a photo of my model settings in this post. I'm not positive it matters, but I've been sticking with 16:9 images and haven't had any inconsistencies in model size. However, a different resolution could result in a mis-sized lithophane for these models I am sharing.
When printing the model, I am printing the base and the lithophane as one object and using an M600 command to pause my printer to change from the filament for the base, to the white necessary for a lithophane. I personally chose to add a border to the lithphane to give it a clear beginning and end to the image, but you could certainly disable that functionality. I put the lower border of the lithophane inside the base, and perform a plane cut on the top, as it overhangs too
