BeechTalk - BT - FS: Litho-Plane of your Favorite Photo!

Username Protected · **Posted:** 29 Oct 2020, 09:29

As a pilot myself, I thought some of you might be interested in these as gifts for yourself or another pilot or aviation enthusiast.

Some time ago I started 3D printing lithophanes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithophane) from friend's airplane photos. The feedback was really positive and it was suggested that I sell them ...

At the moment I print two different types of products, a 6” wide desktop/bookcase LED backlit version and a 4” wide night light version. Both are printed from a photo you provide. The desktop is $100 shipped CONUS and the night light is $75 shipped CONUS. They both come with everything you need, print, stand and lighting. Simply plug them in and enjoy!

Sometimes these take 30+ hours to print as each layer is 1/10mm tall. So, please be patient with me :-)

Sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself! ;-)

I print all of these individually from customer photos. Do you have a personal photo you'd like used?

Thanks

Which one do you like best? All my son. The last one was yesterday.

Any of the first three would come out great. The airplanes are too small in the fourth one.

Personally, I like the first one ... You?

Thanks Rich,

It looks great. I love it and my son will love it. It will be a birthday present for him next week, his 30th. The picture I chose had the worst fidelity of the four, probably taken with a cellphone. But it was my favorite for other reasons, and you made it look great.
