Our Son and DIL are coming up on their 4th wedding anniversary, so I though I'd try to make them a little something.
I started with 3 pics of them and cropped them square, then copied them into a new wider photo with even spacing.
I then uploaded that to the http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/ site, and chose the Outer Curve option, then set it's size up to 200mm, and it's curve to 360 to make it a full cylinder.
Exported that and drew up a base for it in Sketchup a little larger than the inside diameter and placed them both centered in S3D to be fused together as it printed.
Next up was a wooden base, engraved with their wedding date, done on the cnc
Here are the two finished together.
Here are the different sides of the lithophane lit up.
