Questions that came to my mind about 3D printed lithophanes (self.Blind)
submitted by DangDan12
Just a question I'm interested in. Could a 3d printed picture like this help to feel how a regular 2d picture would look like?

A 3D printed picture can help with pictures, but a lithopane itself would be too thin (they have to be thin to let the light through).

Unfortunately, a lithopane is not a 3D picture per se. While a lithopane has different heights, they are extremely thin, to let the light through. The average distance between the lowest level and the highest level is roughly 2 mm. Anything substantially above 3-4 mm isn't penetrable by light.

Oh. I just skimmed the post. My bad.

No problems. Lithopanes are not common, and not everyone knows what they are.
