*** Here is an updated version of this project that works better, I suffest you use it instead:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2899947***
In this project students will turn a picture into a lithophane using the MakerBot's customizable Lithopane. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74322
Students were able to successfully create lithophanes using the customizer.
Some students chose animated figures (Bugs Bunny, pokemon) which, because of the small number of colors in the art, did not turn out well.
We also had some trouble with pictures with white backgrouds. These had a very thin first layer which tore when we removed it from the build plate. This was easily fixed with clear packing tape to hold it together.
