TLDR:
Its a different take on the regular old lithopane printed picture. Instead of putting it on a light box, spray paint the back of the print with black paint and boom goes the contrast. Use this site, http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/, to generate the lithophane 3d model. Adjust the image and model settings as indicated in the screen shots above. Download and print the background and frame files. Current parts are designed to fit 200 mm square images with a 5 mm boarder. Finished Frame is just under 12 inches square.
So back in July I started playing around with printing lithophane pictures. At first I wanted to do what most people do and make some sort of light box or something to hang in a window. The issue was printing thick enough to not have the image look completely washed out. In fixing that I found printing very thin can be off set by simply putting the print over a piece of paper allowing for more control the image washing out much simpler.
