The first step for making your Christmas Star Tree Topper lithophane is by designing your own lithophane. If you have never done this, here is a quick Youtube tutorial on how to make one yourself!
For the Fir tree tip star lithophane we need to use the christmas shape and choose Star, so let’s go make one!
Click on This Profile and load your Christmas star lithophane with all the correct settings instantly.
The only thing you have to do is to add your own picture to create your own personalized lithophane. Adjust your min & max thickness depending on the filament you’ll use to print the lithophane.
To have the desired result at the level of the image it will be necessary that the dimension of the height is the same as the dimension of the width. It will also be necessary that the image be centered so as to have the most important element of it in the center. For this model, the ratio should be 1:1.
I use Gimp to modify the dimensions of the image, like the example below.
After this first operation, you can play on image settings to improve brightness, contrast or any other parameter.
