Update 2025/03/10: Fixed color matching error

Instructions

I have a video walkthrough on how to use the tool.

All downloads contain an instruction file for printing.

Filament Brand: The brand of filament you are using in your print. Color matching is specific for each brand so using a different brand will lead to unpredictable color matching errors.

Lithophane Resolution: This is how detailed the lithophane top will be. Choosing your nozzle diameter/2 is a good guideline for high quality output.

Extrusion Width: This needs to match the extrusion width you will use in your slicer. For typical sized nozzels, like 0.4, I just choose that as the value. For smaller nozzles, like 0.2, I make it slightly larger like 0.225

Print Width, Height: This will be the physical width and height of your lithophane print. If these dimensions are in a different width/height ratio than the original photo the program automatically crops the image.

The preview image is just an estimate of what the final print will look like, which will be highly dependent on backlight brightness and color temperature.
