This is a remix of the excellent design of 'Lithophane Lamp Structure' by Mafo. The remix contains slightly large holes in the base for mounting the G9 lamp bases and adding a 2mm base in the opening for the lamp cord.

The frame is designed to hold five (5) 130mm square lithophanes with 2mm borders. The base is designed to use screws into the holes for securing a G9 lamp base (though hot glue works fine also).

Print Settings:
Rafts - No
Supports - No

Infill - 100% if you want no light to show through, otherwise play with play around with infill for desired light/design.

I recommend using the site https://3dp.rocks/lithophane to create your square lithophanes with the following settings...
