LITHOPHANES & LASER ITEMS
|
|
Lithophanes are 3D prints that vary the thickness of
the print to match a photograph. The lighter the area of the photo,
the thinner the print so that more light gets through. When
illuminated from behind, the lithophane shows a monochromatic
picture. The picture quality depends to a great extent on the
quality of the photo used. This is especially important for the
lampshades as they are so much bigger. A copy of your digital photo
will be adjusted for the lithophane by reducing to black and white,
and adjusting the contrast. 3D printing is a slow process, lithophanes take from several hours to several days to print. A tall lampshade can take 4 1/2 days so please allow plenty of time! |

LITHOPHANE LAMPSHADES | |
|
Lithophane Lampshades are
made from your digital photos, 3D printed in such a way that the
images show through when the light is on. 3 to 4 photos can be
incorporated into each lamp. Portrait (upright) photos work
best, but square ones, or photos that can be cropped square also
work. Email your photos to the address below and I will tell you
whether they will be OK. (They don't have to be cats!)
Finished lampshades will be between 155mm and 225 mm tall, depending on the size and orientation of the photos used., 200mm diameter base, 175mm top. They will fit standard bulb holders which have a diameter of 30mm (UK bayonet type) or 40mm (screw fit bulbs) where the lamp sits. Let me know which yours are. Lampshades
are £35 each. Temporarily unavailable.
Lampshades
take 3 to 4.5 days to print and I only have one machine
able to make them, so be prepared to wait! I'll let you know how soon
they will be ready. Can be printed in white or grey. The gray
ones look better when lit - more depth to the pictures, but off
they look well, grey. The white ones look OK when off.
