Surface relief on the lid front — prints as real texture. Lid only.
Lithophane ⌄
Turn a photo into a lithophane relief on the lid front — it reveals the picture when the lamp is on, and prints as one solid piece.

Lithophane ⌄
Native 3-D lithophane: your photo becomes a real depth relief (dark = thick, light = thin) built as one watertight, printable solid with a flat back — reveals the picture when the lamp is on.
Mode
Full colour builds 4 stacked layers — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White — each ≤ sub-mm, exported as 4 separate bodies so you can assign each to an AMS filament slot in Bambu Studio. Needs an AMS to print.
🎛 AMS filament slots
Map each CMYK colour to the AMS slot that holds it — no need to rearrange spools. These bake straight into the .3mf so Bambu Studio auto-assigns the right filament per body.
Preview
Thinnest (white) — 0.8 mm
Thickest (black) — 3.5 mm
Contrast / gamma — 1.0×
Auto-balance reads the photo's histogram and sets a good starting depth in one click — then fine-tune with the slider. Turn the lamp on to preview it live; this reshapes the real print too, no extra software needed.
Invert (light ⟷ dark)
🖼️ Picture frame
Wraps your photo in a snap-together backlit frame: a clean back plate (keyhole hanger + fold-out pin-hinge easel), an 8mm LED cavity behind the photo for a light strip, and a small-bezel front that snaps on with the photo trapped inside. A USB-C port (9×3.2mm) sits at the bottom-centre of the back plate; the frame is ~20mm deep so the breakout board slides in flat with its connector against the back. The whole frame auto-fits your photo's orientation and size. Prints as 3 parts — back+stand, photo, front bezel.
Shadow Lightbox 🌓 ⌄
Auto-trace a photo into a layered shadow box: it's posterised into 4 tonal bands, vectorised and smoothed, then built as 4 separate stacked plates (dark front silhouette → solid back wall). Export drops into Bambu Studio as 4 independent bodies — use Auto Orient / Lay on Face to arrange them flat.
Preview
Width — 110 mm
Smoothing — 1.8
Frame rim — 5 mm
LED cavity depth — 30 mm
Smoothing cleans jagged pixel edges so the toolhead runs smoothly. Each plate prints at 0.8 mm and drops into internal 1.1 mm rails in the enclosure, spaced 5 mm apart for the shadow depth — the front (dark) plate sits nearest the glass, the solid backplate sits in front of the LED cavity.
Text Lithophane 🔤 ⌄
Turn a word into a backlit lightbox — the Marvel-logo look: the word is cut out of a solid front plate that sits over a flat photo lithophane, so the picture glows through the letters when it's lit. Add photos and drag / resize them behind the word.
Text
Drag a photo to move it, drag its corner to resize. The outlined word shows where the letters reveal each photo.
Letter height — 40 mm (same as Size tab)
Letter spacing (gap) — 10 mm
Thinnest (white) — 0.8 mm
Thickest (black) — 3.0 mm
Contrast / gamma — 1.0×
Auto-balance reads the photo's histogram and sets a good starting depth in one click — then fine-tune with the slider. Turn the lamp on to preview it live.

🔌 USB-C module slot
Cuts a USB-C port in the back plate with an internal cradle for the same 10.2mm breakout board as the picture frame — plug an LED strip in and it glows. Deepens the box a little to fit the board behind the lithophane.
Lithophanes are always white — the photo reads through thickness when the lamp is on. Turn the lamp on to preview the glow. Each letter is watertight and exports cleanly to your .3mf pipeline.
Labs ✨ ⌄
⚗️ Experimental effects — early prototypes. They ride on the front of the box and come alive when the lamp is on. Test-print before selling.
🫥 Hidden message
Only appears when lit
Secret text
Flush and invisible in daylight; glows through when you turn the lamp on. Toggle the lamp to preview.
🌈 Colour print (backlit)
Photo in real colours
Splits the photo into a few filament colours (AMS filament-painting). Load matching filaments; it glows in colour when lit.

Bright-star sky projected for your evening — turn the lamp on to see the stars glow. (Prototype: brightest stars & a couple of constellations.)

⚗️ More experimental effects — early prototypes that take the shape you’ve designed. Turn the lamp on to see them. Test-print before selling.
🌀 Shadowbox (layered depth)
Nested layers receding inward
Scene
Drop in a black silhouette you own or license (a pet, couple, name — any shape). It’s traced and placed as the subject inside the scene above, so you can use professional artwork instead of the built-in figures. ← back to built-in subject
Depth layers — 6
Pick a ready-made Scene for a layered diorama, or upload a photo and it’s split by brightness into stacked cut-out layers at different depths. With neither, it falls back to a concentric “infinity tunnel” of your shape.

Words (commas or new lines)

Name ⌄
Turn the lid into a name plate — your name sits flat on a solid white glowing background.

Add an icon optional — sits by the name
Logo ⌄
Turn a logo into a lightbox. Upload an SVG or PNG — the shape becomes the glowing light, holes and all.

Each catalog model rests with its flat base sitting flush on top of the solid lid surface — the lid is left completely uncut, so you can place the printed model anywhere you like. Each model prints as its own part.
Mounting ⌄
Make it hang, plug in tidily, or stand on its own — add a wall keyhole, a power cut-out through the back, or a printed desk base.
🔩 Wall-mount keyhole
A hanging slot through the back wall — hook it over a screw head. Best placed near the top.
Number of keyholes
Spacing between keyholes — 55 mm
Across (X) — 0 mm
Up / down (Y) — 0 mm
Drag the markers onto the design to place them. Keyholes 🔩 stay level and move together; the power hole 🔌 moves on its own.
🔌 Power / cable cut-out
A hole through the back wall for your USB-C plug or cable. Drag it on the pad above (turn on a keyhole to show the pad) or use the sliders.
Shape
Across (X) — 0 mm
Up / down (Y) — 0 mm
The hole is on the back wall. Keep it above the desk base or the base will cover it.
🧱 Desk base (stand)
A separate printed foot for designs that can’t stand on their own — prints on its own plate.
Profile
Texture
A raised pattern on the foot border around your design — the model still seats flush.
Front text
Raised text along the front edge of the foot. Defaults to your Name font — upload your own here to override it.
Width — 90 mm
Depth — 58 mm
Thickness — 10 mm
Sink into base / lift up — 0 mm
The groove hugs your design automatically. Slide left to sink the model deeper into the base — the pocket deepens to match (no clipping) and the foot thickens to keep a solid floor. Slide right to lift it up.
TestBase ⌄
⚗️ Experimental base. Same stand as the Desk base, but the texture is also embossed around the sides — the same pattern as the top, wrapped down the walls. A thicker base shows more of it. Prints as its own plate. Try it and test-print before we roll it into the main base.

Signature Touch ✨ ⌄
The finishing flourish — wrap your design in a raised frame on the front and back faces, like a picture frame around the glow. Design your box first, then add the frame here and pick its colour.
🖼️ Add signature frame
For a single letter, the signature frame is only available on the built-in Sans, Serif or Soft fonts. Custom fonts are supported in Name mode.
A border on the front and back faces, both flush (never sticking out). The glowing band shows on the sides between them.
