Exciting to see this morning that Thingiverse’s web version of OpenSCAD aka “Customizer” can now accept uploaded files making possible a custom lithphane script. Apparently my work has merited credit in this, which is cool.
Naturally Thingiverse is flooded with people making lithophanes they have no intention of printing. Every meme and logo is going to be lithophaned by the end of the day I’m sure.
My only complaint about this phenomenon is that everyone is calling them “lithopanes”. Listen, I made this mistake the first time too. They’re called “lithophanes”. There’s an “h” after the “p” there. But the point may be mute. It seems “lithopane” is how everyone is saying it now so we’ll just table it until it passes, and really I could care less. It begs the question whether it can be changed at this point.
If course if you want a higher than 100×100 resolution picture you’re still stuck doing it the hard way, or you could just let me.
